Experts warn store prices will soar and shelves will be empty as greedy dockworkers strike over 80% pay raise

Every one of them should be fired and replaced with people who want to go to work.

That wouldn't help the situation at all. How much can the new people actually do, when they don't know what they're doing?

there is some recent calm, when the market realzies the long national nightmare of Xiden and Harris is coming to and end....with that said, we have a lot of fix,

Since Harris and Xiden took office prices have increased on average over 21 percent. Latest Inflation Statistics: The Prices Rising And Falling Most | Bankrate.

Even so, consumers may still feel the pinch of inflation. Since February 2020, consumer prices have increased 21.2 percent, a Bankrate analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows. That’s well above the historic average for a four-year period.

Ron DeSantis and Chris Christie Call Out Trump for Adding to Federal Debt​

"He owes it to you to defend his record where they added $7.8 trillion to the debt that set the stage for the inflation that we have."​

don't blame them, he did add to the debt, every President has. We need real entitlement reform to deal with it.

but Christie is wrong, inflation rest solely with Harris, Xiden and the Dem congress they had.

The country’s current “inflationary spiral” can also be traced back to COVID-19, Maher said, describing the trillions of dollars the government issued throughout the pandemic. This, he noted, should not be pinned on President Joe Biden, but his predecessor, former President Donald Trump.

“We’re going to bring back Trump?” he asked. “The guy who ignored COVID like it was the dinner check? Talk about not learning anything.”

With a few exceptions, these aren't highly skilled jobs. They can be trained.

Even with the training curve, the new employees will get more done than the strikers will. The strikers are doing nothing.

Yep, Covid was the excuse Harris and Xiden used to pass the totally unneeded American "Rescue" Act

Maybe not highly skilled, but very dangerous work. It's easy to get squished, or maimed, by standing in the wrong place.

In the Hitler game, progs are so much more ahead in that realm. Local areas that are red though, may have that also. When a group know there is an agenda that is against them, they try to make it known. Voting irregularities that Progs dominate in, can be denied. They exist anyway. Trump respected the rights of people when President. The infighting with lifetime political insiders, was there to see. The party must change. And we see the war mongers that really were in both parties, like rats' scurry to the Progressive Socialist Party. Most never missing a eat. And treating the Republican voters like low life's as they switched seamlessly to your party. So, the Progs who were the soc called antiwar extremists in the 1960's are the pro war demons now. Many of them are still alive.

That's just basic safety training. The ports are mostly mechanized. There's very little work done by hand. Not like the old days, anyway.

But that has nothing to do with production. I go back to what I said before, the new employees will accomplish more than the strikers, considering the strikers are doing nothing.

I say let the market decide: fire all the strikers and hire people want to come to work. Make the strikers understand that they aren't irreplaceable and there is competition for their jobs and they might not be so greedy.

I'm not disagreeing with you on the production aspect.

But who is going to fire all of those people? Reagan fired the air traffic controllers en masse, but they were federal workers. As long as non-federal union workers are keeping the picket line moving, they cannot be fired.
First amendment right to assemble.

... The ports are mostly mechanized. There's very little work done by hand. ...

Not so. That's one of the things the workers are demanding.

It’s hard labor
Not for geniuses nor crybabies
Libs keep trying to make work fit their wishers rather than adapting to work like thinkers do.

No. I believe the 70% of Jews who vote Democratic see the GOP as the Nazi party. Even though the GOP kisses their ass. They see how they treat arabs, mexicans and blacks.

I know conservative Jews who are Republicans and Israeli loving Jews. They defended the Iraq war 100%, all the way. Because I believe Israel loved USA fucking up the middle east because the middle east doesn't like Israel.

Israel is run by a right wing corrupt man. So will the USA if Trump wins. Who gets along with Putin and swoons over Kim Jung Un.

It's better than being at war constantly jackass.

I didn't say "automated". I said "mechanized".

Like this...

The idea of a "free market" assumes that all participants have relatively equal bargaining power, but in reality, workers often have less leverage compared to large corporations, especially in industries where a few employers dominate. "Labor unions" and strikes are ways for workers to level the playing field. Without this, individual workers have little negotiating power, while businesses (especially large ones) can dominate the wage-setting process. Wage negotiation is legally protected and not illegal as price fixing is.

Since price fixing for wages is illegal, so should unions colluding against corporations to ask for unreasonable wages. That was my point.

No. It’s protected by law.

Yep, at some point corporations have to stand their ground against these ridiculous demands. These workers aren't doing brain surgery. Hire new workers and train them for the wages they were paying these folks. Maybe they can hire all immigrants and pay them even less, as they are more than willing to work for far less than these people are making now. That would teach Democrats a lesson.

 

[DBA]

No. It’s protected by law.

Right, and I am saying there should be regulations around that, particularly for essential workers, otherwise, nothing prevents them from asking for 1 million dollar bonuses so they can simply retire.

A business can ask you for a million dollars for a piece of chewing gum too. That isn’t illegal.
