Thanks for making are lives even harder as consumers. As if it isnt already hard enough. Also keep voting for people like biden and Harris. They are why are lives are hard
I dont blame em fuckx all these employers they dont want to pay shxt. More pickets need to be formed especially in Warehouses. We get treated and paid like shxt.
That trumper got cut
Once a Teamster always a teamster. Strikes hurt everyone.
Politicians dont care. Yall will get a raise but so will prices because of this 😂
Automation is the road to safety. Also overpaying longshoreman wages that drive up costs of imports needs to be curbed
These dock workers think they had people over a barrel. You shouldn’t have flexed, now you’ve been replaced by automation.
Was union for 30 years, UAW. Listened to the head of this union sound like a supervillain talking about how they will shut the world down unless they get their outrageous demands…ugh excuse me? Wtf? Why is this man not put in prison extorting me, the taxpayer? The current UAW rep just got on CNN admitting Clinton passed NAFTA but it's republicans fault. Unions are extortionists
This is why Trump was right.
jerks
Good for them at least there people still left in this country willing to stand up against the bull being handed to them.
That is so ridiculous wanting 77% raises fire them all and start with a new crew greedy union workers
does everyone down there have a studder?
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that unions rock and so do strikes
Ban on automation, yeah good luck with that
every thing wrong with the union
The leader of this stricke says and i quote ( WE WILL CRIPLE AMERICA) I SAY WHO THE FUCK IS HE TO SAY SOME SHIT LIKE THAT. HE WANTS 160 AN HR THEY ALREADY MAKE 80 AN HR MORE THEN MOST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, THERE LEADER OWNS A MANTION. I SAY FUCK FIRE THEM ALL TRAIN ME ILL DO IT FOR 45 AND HR I WILL BE A HIT MAN FOR 80 AN HR LOL THESE SO IF I FEEL LIKE THAT I KNOW THERES OTHERS TOO. SOOO FIRE THEM HIRE NEW PEOPLE AND HAVE THE ONEA NOT STRICKING TRAING THE NEW PEOPLE PROBLEM SOLVED
The workers should be replaced with people that will work. They are holding ransom on the country. It should be illegal. It's not fair to the people of this country.
Cheers to the union workers. Every other worker should take note
"These are not the companies of yesteryear, making millions. Today these comapnies are making billions. Now while most people were at home during the pandemic, we stayed working… Where is our money?"
I heard they offered them a 50% raise and their greedy ass rejected it. Also from many truckers, automated places have cut down their wait time from 4 hours to 30 min
They gatekeep those jobs like mafia.
These protester are lame
How involved in child trafficking are the port workers. Just read a story about eleven screaming kids in a shipping container on the docks in Florida.
Spill the tea
Rich people don't care if you're poor but they sure care if their international deliveries don't show up!!! 🎉 strike!

Here’s some investigative reporting.
Port workers report children screaming in shipping containers!
They can’t open and save the people inside!!!
Fox don’t have the power Govment dont have the time to look into it!
Oooo open boarder, send the children first. Spits!!!
That’s On All Our Heads!!!
Amen.
Let’s also consider the Truckers that these same Port Workers are undercutting
Wait 3-4 weeks they will be broke and back to work , any immigrant would love to take that pay so good luck.
Not gonna need that raise once Trump gets an office here in a few weeks
This is the Mob's doing. They run ALL the unions.
Automation still needs a human who knows the job of operating and maintaining it. Update your education. And take that job. Sorry, the future will be robots due to the greed of the union leaders. I do not wish to see folks lose jobs but the future will come no matter what you do.
Block the entrance
The Wire tolds us every thing back in the days
Dock Strike Lives in a 7,000-square-foot Mansion, and his salary of $728,000 annually on top of an additional $173,000 from ILA-Local 1804-1. Let that sink in "Union members"
Mayor then MD Governor Schaefer in 1980's went against Mafia Port workers over cranes. He won made Port great.
MD gov Schaefer beat Port Mafia in 80's over Cranes. 30 x faster. Can't steal millions in containers. Cavemen days over.
Small ports using slow thieving off trucks, cavemen fighting cranes. Biden says will be replaced by cranes
The press is a damn joke. U guys twist everything and totally get it wrong every time. U should be embarrassed and ashamed. Pathetic people
That’s why you shouldn’t cross picket lines.
Well at least he's in good spirits LOL😅
