I'm all for unions, but we have a problem with this guy and the dockworkers strike with 45,000 longshoremen striking from Maine to Texas, don't we?

This is our “October Surprise.”

"ILA President Daggett enjoys a long relationship with Donald Trump going back decades in New York City. Both Trump and Daggett are the same age and were both from Queens, New York.

In late November 2023, former President Trump invited the ILA president to meet with him in Florida at Mar-a-Lago,

'We had a wonderful, productive 90-minute meeting where I expressed to President Trump the threat of automation to American workers, said ILA President Harold Daggett.

'President Trump promised to support the ILA in its opposition to automated terminals in the U.S. Mr. Trump also listened to my concerns about Federal 'Right To Work' laws which undermines unions and their ability to represent and fight for its membership.'"

This was written on the ILA's website from an article in July when he told people to pray for Donald after his assassination attempt.

Notice how he called him "President Trump."

Daggett also turned down President Biden's offer to help mediate the dispute, "We will not be interested in Biden sending us a mediator if negotiations are not going well.”

OMG a Union leader trying to lobby a politician. Should Union leaders be barred from lobbying anyone except Democrats? Seems like a ridiculous strategy for their members.

Should a union leader act in bad faith on behalf of their members to wreck the US economy to the benefit of one man?

What’s your evidence of this other than he met with Trump and he didn’t wish he died in an assassination attempt?

Union leaders meet with politicians from both sides of the aisle all the time. It’s called lobbying and it’s part of their job. I can’t tell if you’re trolling or your a right wing corporate stooge.

Since JUNE??

It is clear now that the head of this union is a Trump supporter and has not been negotiating in good faith and wants this work stoppage to make Biden look bad.

Every longshoreman I know is a Trump supporter, which is really ironic, but they don't see it that way.

Because they’re morons who can’t do regular careers because they dropped out of school and became dead-enders. Uneducated blue collar morons who never made anything of themselves but are now trying to overthrow an election by destroying the economy.

Basically it’s another J6 attempt. Same type people though. Thugs.

Anyone who doesn’t have a college degree shouldn’t vote. We need to have IQ tests before you pull the lever.

+ a MILLION.

I’ve been saying this for years. You should have at least a BA, or score at least a 140 on the standard battery IQ tests in order to be allowed to vote

Simply doing this one thing would eliminate 90% of republicans from being able to vote. There needs to be an executive order for this.

I remember when Democrats went to court arguing that their voters were too dumb to cast a vote properly(2000 in Florida).
Republicans won the votes of people with college degrees at least through 2004, it might have been 2016 or just 2020 when that flipped.
The reality is Democrats just think they are smarter, but it's really that they are more willing to sit through colleges with liberal indoctrination.

It's cute you think a BA is equivalent to an IQ of 140.

Someone needs to disappear this union president, ala Jimmy Hoffa. This mfr needs to die

Because he's smarter than you? Now is the ideal time to strike and push for concessions. Vote is coming, Christmas merchandise deliveries, etc. Now is the time to get an excellent deal for the union members.

This strike is not about concessions or members salaries, it is about inflicting pain on the US economy on the eve of the election.

Yup. They turned down a 50% wage increase + 300% increase in retirement contributions + status quo on automation.

Fire them all, and replace them with African American workers. It’s time for someone else to get a turn at these 300k jobs.

Stronger together; diversity is our strength.

Replace them with immigrants. We need to give new Americans a boost.

In the port area I'm from, most of the best longshoreman jobs are filled by white workers who are there because they have an in somehow. Some of my relatives are among them, and they are all Trump supporters.

I say replace them with black Americans and poor white (or other race) American citizens who need these well paying jobs. Lots of people from the mountains are going to need jobs now.

Latinos are already a larger and still growing demographic than AA’s. We need them. Those jobs should go to new immigrants, not people that have been here for hundreds of years.

And here it is.

Get ready for the second Trump administration

Apparently, there is more on the table if that was the first offer. Do you always take the first offer when bargaining?

Do you realize what you sound like?

I sound like someone who wants to win elections. Know what you sound like? A sucker who wants to let the GOP steal elections.

Don’t you even CARE?

You won’t have a democracy if you let morons keep voting for trump.

Nice spin, corporate shill, but it is the best timing for the strike because of leverage. Would you have them strike when no one cares? You’d be a pretty bad Union leader if that was the case.

That wasn't the first offer. That was the last minute let's avoid a strike counter offer.
