Well that goes right along with the impending dock worker strike on the west coast.

Warning: Link is from a socialist site, but the news is not being reported anywhere.

Business groups demand Biden administration intervene to prevent any work stoppage on West Coast ports
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/06/10/dock-j10.html

Terrified at the prospect of a dockworkers strike shutting down large sections of US supply chains, a group of large business associations led by the US Chamber of Commerce wrote a letter on June 8 to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, demanding the White House “engage in the negotiations” in order to ensure “backups, delays, and inflationary costs are avoided.”

The letter warns that, “...even a relatively brief port slowdown or shutdown would compound current supply chain challenges and cause long-lasting damage to consumer confidence and American businesses.”

Signatories of the letter included the Retail Industry Leaders Association, which represents brands such as Target, Lowe’s, Best Buy and Walgreens, the American Apparel Footwear Association and the Travel Goods Association.

The Chamber of Commerce supported the campaign of the fraudulent huckster (and under one Thomas Donohue did everything they could to screw Trump and his voters) so maybe they expect something in return.

Why would the CoC want to intervene? Can’t all the illegal aliens they support get the job done during that strike?
