[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you President Biden and VP Harris![/quote]

Private negotiation between dock workers and private company. Biden/Harris promised not to  get involved?

Outside of doing nothing, what congratulating do they deserve? Please explain.

It kinda like I deserve credit today as the Sun finally came out![/quote]

[b]Here you go!  Lengthy article explaining how the WH, Biden, and his Secretary of Labor and Transportation all played key roles in the negotiation.  I'm looking forward to your detailed response.[/b]

Biden administration Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su was an important administration liaison working with both the union and port ownership group to reach a deal at meetings held in New Jersey on Thursday, according to a source familiar with the talks.

“The collective bargaining process really worked,” said Su in an interview. “We’ve been saying it all along. When workers have a real voice at the table and when they can help to determine the conditions of their jobs, we’re seeing really historic gains for working people, and we’re also seeing it because we have such a strong economy. ... Companies that are making record profits are realizing that when they do right by their workers, it’s better not just for working people, it’s better for their industries, it’s better for their future.”

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg— “the parties were not as far apart as it sounded on economics. There were strong positions, strong personalities, but there was a deal space.” He added that Hurricane Helene played a role in moving closer to a deal. “That’s one thing that I emphasized when I was talking to the ocean carriers, urging them to get to a deal. You know, the last thing that emergency responders need is to be looking over their shoulder, wondering if they’re going to be impacted by a strike.”

President Biden had said on camera Wednesday, “The last thing we need on top of that is a manmade disaster — what’s going on at the ports.”

Here’s another potentially inflationary issue that Trump will have to deal with. The strike was put off until January. [/quote]

He will send the troop is to shot and kill them. Maga will cheer.[/quote]

Ok, that would just be another variation of what Dems here wanted Biden to back in September/October. Did y’all forget that already?

Most of you wanted Joe to fire ALL of the striking workers IMMEDIATELY, and get the ports running again RIGHT NOW! There was an election and an economy at stake! And these overpaid union goons were going to blow the election for Dems!

Remember that? I sure do.

But now I see DCUM has swung back to the side of the unions again, now that Trump is coming back.

Y’all are so predictable and so stupid.  :roll: [/quote]

You sound pretty defensive. January isn’t far away. Let’s see how this goes. [/quote]

Defensive of [i]who[/i]?

Just because I dislike many of you doesn’t automatically mean I’m a Trump simp. It’s entirely possible to hate BOTH of you. [/quote]
