With oil prices down and layoffs popping up everywhere in the oil industry , this is a very bad time to strike ,so I think this is coming right from the White House
I just took the Tactical Diesel Reserve yesterday from 0% to 40% yesterday. I’m now good for three months, thanks.
Unions sure suck, don’t they? Back in the days, 150 years ago, when a mine owner controlled a company town, or when there were 80 to 100 hour weeks in textile factories, they were a good thing. Over time, they became corrupt power centers of their own, rife with mob influence.
They sucked so bad by WWII that it took Lucky Luciano to make the docks run right during the war.
And, don’t get me started about the SEIU... even socialist FDR said that the government could not be unionized. Thanks JFK, for making it possible. /S
Prices down, so the unions and government have a vested interest in raising them.

KEEP THE UNIONS OUT - they will muck up everything and oil prices will go up - not down...
I had a union car guys that worlds for Ford in Louisville, KY brag to me that he was out of vacation days - so he told his foreman that he spend the weekend drinking and didn’t feel well on Monday...they put him off all week as punishment, but he still was paid the same as they paid his replacement. He took that money and went to Florida with his wife and more-or-less as he explained it - still got a PAID vacation...and then returned to his job...he thought that was a smart move his part...
We wonder why manufacturing left the US - we wonder why Union built means crap and over priced...and we wonder why unions had great pensions - because the cost of that is in each thing they build! They were a good thing back in the early days of the industrial revolution - but not anymore....their greed and corruption is a disease...
Fill up QUICK!
“The United Steelworkers union (USW) did not say at which plants the strikes would be held.”
‘United Steelworkers Union(USW)’ is the give-away, Freepers. The International Union is headed up by Leo W. Gerard, a communist and one member of the cartel behind President Obama.
Richard Trumpka is another communist. So, when the media mentions ‘union leaders’ those two, Gerard and Dick Trumpka, should come to mind.
Doesn’t surprise me in the least that the U.S.’s western ports are setting to to strangle exports and imports. The ILWU’s union leaders are all beholden to the commie national leaders.
replace all of the strikers with non-union workers.
