A Dock Worker Strike Could Cost Kamala The White House. Why Won’t Biden Stop It?

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

So these workers get paid a bunch more. Why would that bother you? Makes no sense. There's no reason they shouldn't get a raise.

You will pay for their pay raise by the increased costs passed along to you on the products they handle. ECON 101.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

When the head of the company offers to reduce his own salary by a few million I will ask the workers only get a 50 percent raise. That seems reasonable. Workers need not just work hard for existing wages. That's wrong in all aspects.

Take that CEOs salary and divide up by all the workers and maybe they will get 50 cents an hour. People like you make these ridiculous claims because you suck at basic math.

Biden is nothing. Allow the workers to negotiate out their needs. Yous capitalist pig-dog.

I say Biden is doing the right thing. Giving Trump the presidency. Aren't you glad you support a demented fool?

 

[GMCGeneral]

So they shouldn't get a raise?

Nor unless they earned it on their merits. And 75% is very steep.

Is that spread out over many years? When was their last raise? If the job is important to the country then it's up to the nation to pay them. They don't owe us their lives.

I would not complain if I worked in their field. They make a lot of money. "On the Waterfront" was long ago. Since we get a lot of our products from overseas today, their employment wages and benefits affect prices. So much so that even W. proposed building port terminals in Mexico with a wide highway and rail system that goes into Texas. California ports affect us worth as the state has its own rules and regulations on trucking and anything related.

It seems they make around $39 per hour, after 6 years. That's not anywhere near excessive. My painter makes $75 per hour in just labor.

You wish I were stupid enough to support any old fools including Biden or Trump.

I was making more than 39 dollars an hour all through the early 1990s-2000-nds.

Don't worry you have proven yourself on here.

Go back to having yer nose up Trump's ass.

 

[jknowgood]

I was better off under him. Harris will only make it worse.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

So they shouldn't get a raise?

A reasonable one. Yes. Striking for 77% is stupidity.

 

[Concerned American]

A reasonable one. Yes. Striking for 77% is stupidity.

The demand that "all automation be banned" is also stupidity. What are they going to do, return to the days when longshoremen actually did some physical labor?

 

[Independent thinker]

Apparently, Ole’ Stumblebum won’t stop the Longshoreman’s strike.

This might be his payback for being stabbed in the back by the democrat / Leninist party.

On Tuesday, about 45,000 dock workers will walk off the job in a massive strike that will shutter dozens of ports along the East and Gulf Coasts, upending the economy just weeks before a tight presidential election.

President Joe Biden could stop the strike, but he says he won’t.

Yeah, they are between a rock and a hard place on this one. Go there and support the workers and prices go back up again just before the election. It's actually kind of an admission by them that their policies of supporting higher wages only increases prices to the poor, and everyone else.

Correct. When gov't starts dictating what one segment of the economy's wages will be, chaos will ensue. The market is what dictates the economy and the gov't will screw it up every time they try to control it.
