Ten of thousands of dockworkers could go on strike on Oct. 1 in a move that experts say could wreak havoc on American supply chains and reignite the rapid inflation seen in the early years of the Biden-Harris administration.
The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) — which represents more than 85,000 workers at three dozen U.S. ports along the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico and whose members collectively handle about half of the U.S.’ maritime imports — has threatened to go on strike for the first time since 1977 if their wage and automation protection demands are not met by the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) — the coalition representing shipping employers. The move could cost the U.S. economy roughly $5 billion a day in trade, and would massively disrupt supply chains in a way not seen since the COVID-19 pandemic, causing rapid inflation and hiking the cost of living for everyday Americans, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

I’m sure Jerome Powell had this in mind when he declared victory over inflation. May as well have Krugman running the fed. Idiots.
This would be grounds for the NDA to be invoked. Will Biden have the courage to do it?
bttt
Trump needs to fly up there and negotiate this out Be his check mate for the the win
Since Kamala is in charge now, why are reporters not questioning her on her plan to avoid the strike?
Because she’ll tell us she was brought up in a midclass neighborhood and had a good lawn.
Joe doesn't have the mental capacity to understand what's going on. Any decision will be made by unelected and unaccountable individuals. Joe will just rubber stamp it without knowing what's going on and then go back to napping or eating his pudding.
So DOCTOR Jill in other words...
It is Kommy-la that will make the decision and she will think is a great thing for the Longshoremen to strike.
If there are no trains or trucks moving in and out of these ports it will reduce the country’s carbon footprint.
If ordered back to work for a cooling off period, will they do “work to rule”?
Where’s Lucky Luciano when you need him?
Cheer up folks!
The warmongers are finally so close to getting their global nuclear war that a dock-workers strike might be the least of our worries.
Too late to affect the election. But Trump may not need tariffs if the ports are shuttered.
I bet the hurricane will do as much economic damage as the strike will.
There will not be negotiations. There will not be settlements. This is intentional and by design. This will be more than just prices. And the cure will be martial law. This is the union working with the globalist powers to throw our country into chaos so that martial law can be declared before the election.
Even if on strike, they will be sure to unload whatever containers have the prefilled ballots for the Dims.
Amen! Merry Christmas to all!
