I see no sign of the strike ending soon. The Hurricane and the strike -- the Biden/Harris administration has royally screwed up their response to both. Intentionally, I believe.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Que the Biden/Harris “price gouging” comments.

[Sacajaweau]

Have no fear...Guided by Kamala, Biden will become our savior and invoke Taft-Hartley. Which will leave it in Trumps’ lap after the election.

They want 6% raises per year and a promise of never automating? Can't see that getting settled soon.

Yet the Americans who rely on the MSM will hear nothing of this. In fact, they will praise the Biden/Harris administration for its fast response and $750 checks to people who lost everything.

Is he still sunning himself on the beach?

[Brown Deer]

Biden and Harris are only posting dozens of nonsense posts on their various social media pages about how great a job they believe they are doing for the flood victims.

Not a single post this week from them about the strike or wars.

[jpp113]

The longshoremen on the west coast are now saying they may go on strike in solidarity with east coast union. NOT GOOD.

[johniegrad]

despite consistent efforts by the Biden administration to get the parties back into collective bargaining

What consistent efforts? Joe is incompetent and Harris is chasing photo ops.

[InsidiousMongo]

Kiss of death for Kamala’s campaign.

[Harpotoo]

Buy what about TP?-)

[Brian Griffin]

Walmart, Amazon, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, etc. could build their own automated (or non-automated) ports.

[blackdog]

Fire them all.

[blackdog]

Viva La Mexico!

[McCarthysGhost]

This is all scripted. If it wasn’t, this union thug would already have his door kicked in. Kamala will end the strike soon for a PR win.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Well, Biden and Harris’s bananas suck anyway.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Not really. We know they will be cheating harder.

They’ll just bring more terrorist /gangs in.

[Brian Griffin]

Walmart, Amazon, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, etc. could build their own automated (or non-automated) ports.

“The Port of Shanghai is the world’s busiest container port.”

“The three main container port areas, Wusongkou, Waigaoqiao and Yangshan, have a combined quay length of more than 13 kilometers (8 miles), 43 berths and 156 container cranes. The port has two bulk cargo terminals and three break-bulk terminals”

“Yangshan Phase Four, launched in 2017, is the world’s largest automated container terminal, with a capacity of 6.3 million TEUs, 2.4 kilometers of quays, seven berths, 21 quay cranes, 108 rail-mounted gantry cranes and 125 automated guided vehicles.”
