They’re postponing their strike so that Democrat-Communists can more easily steal the next election.

Hopefully the increased cost of going through a port
Pushes production on shore.

Can I make a wish upon a star

Between now and then, the my recruit 1000s of railroad employees that have been laid off due to hedge funds and corporate greed, who can run every piece of equipment on the ports.

Offer the pay & benefit packages currently in place, one that pays well over $100k a year with great benefits, and usher the old guard out the door.

I’ve got it! The ballots for the steal haven’t been imported from China yet, and the democrats need the port open so they can bring in the millions of fake ballots.

They can’t stop automation forever. Not going that way will cost the shipping companies more than the salary increases. The shipping companies will be accelerating their re-tooling plans during this suspension. The salary increases will be a stop-gap until the companies can successfully divide and conquer labor. Those guys furthest from retirement better start seriously thinking about new skills training.

As happened last year with Writers and Actors strike I.E. AI, the union has gotten a Pyrrhic victory and just guaranteed AI Automation is coming sooner rather than later.

In the next 5 year or so the ports on both sides of the country will be free of a great many workers, no more Unions, and costs of labor will come down to fraction of what they are paying today.

Who do you want negotiating with the Longshoreman union thug? Trump or Kamala?

The union is doing them no favors. This is the perfect time to strike. An upcoming election, disaster in the South, economy very fragile. This is when you want to strike. I am glad they are not striking, but when you pay union dues, and have some power in the situation, the union did them wrong.

62% while the rest of the country starves. I would go scab for half of what they were already making. These prima donnas are going to double the price of goods.

Will anyone investigate who invests into these “foreign owned” shipping companies. Because if it’s learned that Blackrock, etc etc are investors, the story fades away

62% over 6 years? I’d love a 10% raise each year.

But I’m not gonna get one.

They probably agreed to this to spare Biden and Harris the political embarrassment of having to invoke Taft-Hartley, which would have stopped the strike for about the same period of time, but would make Harris look anti-union—to the unions anyway.

“Dockworkers’ union to suspend strike until Jan. 15 to allow time to negotiate new contract”

SHould read, “Dockworkers’ union to suspend strike until Jan. 15 to allow the deep state to be reelected.”

Its time to automate as much as possible. People that strike dont deserve a job.
