U.S. President Joe Biden said on Sunday he did not intend to intervene to prevent a port strike on the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico if dock workers failed to secure a new contract by an Oct. 1 deadline.
“It’s collective bargaining. I don’t believe in Taft-Hartley,” he told reporters.
Presidents can intervene in labor disputes that threaten national security or safety by imposing an 80-day cooling-off period under the federal Taft-Hartley Act.
How can this be beneficial for the Dems?
All I can hear when I read this is Kamala saying “You betta thank a union memba”. in her ridiculous accent.
Vindictive Biden intends to inflict pain at every opportunity. The longshoremen strike is affecting the same Southeast and GOM states devastated by Hurricane Helene.
They depend on the unions for money, so this is not unexpected. Biden backs the unions by refusing to use Taft-Hartley Act to order an 80 day cooling off period...............
I am convinced that Joe is furious that he got forced out and is now trying to make Kamala lose.
All by design.
Biden: My work here is done.
Probably doing the bidding of the Chi-Coms who compete with the other shippers affected by this strike. Targeting the Chi-Com competitor shippers. This cannot be good for dems running for re-elect... it harms the voters they need. Very much. kamala has no power to intervene as VP. Xiden is being the “union guy” thinking this is good for his image, but it is not good for incumbent dems at all. Should hear them squeal.
Everything the Dems do from open borders to turning us into a country run by criminal third world voters to giving our treasury away to war mongers only tears us down. This while American Nat Guard needed here are instead sent off shore to other countries.
Your overall theory may be right abd I hope has the desired affect.
PURE EVIL!!!
BINGO!!!
Revenge is a dish best served COLD................
Just a fine time to stand up for “principle” (such as it exists). The intention is to limit delivery of war material to Israel, so as to contain their “adventurism” in Lebanon.
For the moment, Ukraine has enough cash/credit to purchase at least some of their war material from Western European countries.
Screw Taft Hartley. Anti American at the core.
Check out who controls port operations at many of our major ports.
Hint: It’s not Americans.
setting up the playing field for a trump win
I am old enough to remember the Teamsters Strike(s) and them using live fire to hold their strike lines. I recall them shooting out windshields of scab truckers trying to keep supply lines open etc.
This strike, before we get dragged into world war 3, is a strategic blunder by Biden/Harris or whoever is running the WH.
Second, the strike is tantamount to treason at this point.
