Looks like we might be in for a long next few months. According to my brother who works for the SC Ports, the owners approved a 40% pay increase that the Union refused. They want a 70% pay increase and zero automation at the ports. This is probably going to get ugly for everyone. Expect prices on anything coming through our ports to sky rocket. Not a peep out of Pete Buttigieg or anyone from our government.

I am ALL for Unions but seriously---a 40% raise turned down because they want a 70% one? Stupid stupid

Average wage for a longshoreman in Long Beach, Ca.---$43.97 an hour. It's not like they are surviving on starvation wages now.

Most big shippers planned on this months ago.
They filled the warehouses with extra products to carry them over the XMas season.
What will disappear will be fresh fruits and other perishable products, unless they can be trucked to markets.
Which in turn will raise their prices.

It has been estimated that the US Economy will lose $5 billion a day in lost revenue.

This could become the worst Oct surprise on record.

CA isn't striking. I doubt the East Coast and Gulf Coast get paid as much as CA.

 

[Next Day Err]

Maybe they can all be fired and we can hear billionaires laughing at them on a future X Spaces call?

A lot of chatter in the cruise groups.
I'm worried about getting my banana daiquiri....

A few guys on my route are in that union. Most get a job because a family member is in the union.. They live in nice houses for sure. Furgetabout it!

40 percent raise would buy them another vacation home!

Where can you get paid $466K a year to wash trucks? Special deals, union clout at N.J. port

The Port of New York Harbor, which stretches from the marine terminals in New Jersey to Red Hook in Brooklyn, is the busiest on the East Coast. Why are the labor costs here the highest in the nation?

Yawn. We did great during Trump's years.

Maybe the Biden Harris regime can force these guys to accept a contract they don't want like they forced the railroad workers.

Don't forget about the air traffic controllers

Was that a legal strike?

Biden won't get involved in any port strike. What's Kommie Harris's position?
