This + a recession?

For now the strike won’t affect the weapons shipments (one of the USMX members they are disputing is Mearsk in fact). I don’t expect ILA leadership to challenge that condition but I hope the workers do.

You ain’t see the WFH thread? Ktt a bunch of privileged white collar folks who don’t give a damn about workers putting boots on the ground to provide

All this makes me wanna kill myself

symptom

but we push through

Quite literally the gilded age we are in right now

Someone will replace us and theyd prpbably be worse

Some of those port companies are foreign btw.

This has zero to do with the stock market.

It was contracted as such and the businesses did it anyways. This is why 40 hour work weeks exist.

I’m a financial advisor, but I also worked as a Teamster and Culinary Union worker. Gotta back the blue collar workers.

Everything has something to do with the stock market

Stock market controls most major businesses

The stock market drives the need for ever larger profits, without it we could have a much more homogeneous world

We’ll be alright

Mob affiliated "union" leader that makes over half a million a year said 1 year ago that he was going to cause a major commercial blockage if demands werent met and now that day has come and he's leading this movement.

What else is on?

There will be an entire class of humans that will have no use for our overlords.

look up the ILA they aren’t a real union they’re basically a mob and the union leader worked with the Italian mob to extort locals and buy himself a yacht

The ILA is arguably the worst union in the country and calling it a union is a stretch. This isn’t a factory worker union fighting for safety rights and higher fair pay. The ILA chair makes $1M/yr and the avg longshoreman makes $200k+ on top of $50k/yr benefits, which is subsidized by tax money. Almost all union leadership was involved in a high level RICO case with the Genovese family. They are asking the government to restrict automation and to artificially prop up high paying jobs using taxpayer money - I am not joking, their demands are something like $300k/yr. The longshoreman union is unlike any other in the country and they’ve faced constant actual legal challenges from civilian law groups of which they’ve responded by using mob connections to kill civil lawyers

Wait mob affiliated what?

Oh hell naw you gotta be kidding me.

Oh wowwwwwww.

F***ing Italians man lololololol.

Tell em 🗣️

"New York state officials, who fought to prevent New Jersey’s exit from the commission, claimed the waterfront remains under the control of corrupt union and criminal groups that conspire on kickback schemes, container royalty scams, no-show jobs and work slowdowns that cost consumers millions. The commission’s annual report for 2019-2020 cited evidence that some 600 union workers received $147 million in excessive wages on no-show and low-show jobs that had been written into corrupt labor contracts."

These poor workers need our support

lmaooo nasty ass libtards im praying theyll lose this one
