Right on time for the VP debate. Ammo for Vance?
The stolen valor point against Walz. JD should compare the end of his his 20+ years
with that of Pete Rose. Very honorable until he trashed it in the end for selfish reasons.

Biden already said he won't invoke Taft-Hartley and if he did, Daggett already said his men won't be working very hard.
Anyways, wish he had a president who cared about Americans as much as Harold Daggett cares about his longshoremen.
Maybe soon...

It's really not up to Biden. It's up to Schumer...and he and his puppet Hochul are not about to hurt NY at this point in time.
I believe 5 or 6 days will get Taft-Hartley to Christmas.

They are asking for the Moon since the West Coast Ports caved into every Union demand.

Time to fire them all. Automate automate automate.
Machines don’t go on strike and hold nations hostage.
To: EC Washington
They are asking for the Moon since the West Coast Ports caved into every Union demand.So much for the slow down in the inflation rate of increase.

It’s less about human vs automaton that who is operating our ports.
Why are we allowing foreign interests to operate our major ports?

...36 East and Gulf Coast ports... Mostly red states, but it does include all the way up to Maryland and New York.
Don't be surprised if the Dims make a play against right-to-work legislation in red states.

The average wage for the International Longshoremen’s Association is just over $65,000/year, but can be over $80,000/year. I am having a hard time seeing how an offer of almost $100,000/year isn’t enough. You’d think over $8,000/month would be enough to squeak by. It’s hard for me to feel sorry for them.
