I want the president to use his authority to ensure the victims of Helene get the supplies they need and the rest of the country is not hit with shortages and higher prices.

Hopefully President Biden is able to get through the thick skull of that trumpet and get the people affected by Helene what they need.

It was DonOld’s "October surprise" with the help of a MAGAt loyalist / cultist.

I had actually suggested this was a possibility right when it happened, but figured it was primarily the act of a white male dominated union that wanted to help elect DonOld for "some reason(s)".

I didn’t realize at the time that the head of the union was an out and out MAGAt.

🤬

You did. Good call.
 
took just 3 days :cool:

62% wage increase over 6 years ... given the massive profits the ports have seen that haven't been shared with the workers, that seems like a decent result

Yay!
And it was all done without intervention from a president. Ok, I guess it’s back to being a small government conservative for you. So sad. 😞

well not directly but there was encouragement from the White House, encouragement that saw a return to work of the strikers. Now THAT's what i call efficient!

The new offer, up from an earlier proposed raise of 50%, came after the White House privately and publicly pressed the large shipping lines and cargo terminal operators who employ the longshore workers to make a new offer to the union.

The International Longshoremen’s Association and port operators, in a joint statement, said they had reached a tentative agreement on wages and union members would return to work. They said the agreement would extend the prior contract, which expired at the start of this week, through Jan. 15, 2025 while the two sides negotiate on other issues, including automation on the docks.

The latest offer would raise the base hourly rate for ILA port workers to $63 from $39 over six years, the people familiar with the matter said. One of the people said the offer is being made on the condition that dockworkers go back to work and agree to efficiency gains.

so any of you snowflakes clutching those extra rolls of T.P? it's safe to let go, now.

Let’s hope a prolonged ILA strike doesn’t compound the suffering of those impacted by Helene, spawn another spike of Bidenflation, or cripple the economy. Biden promised to give Big Labor more power and he’s delivering it now at East and Gulf coast ports.

Will he invoke the Taft-Hartley Act? He said on Sunday that he doesn’t believe in it. We’ll see. ILA Boss Daggett is projecting big time swagger, boasting “they won’t be able to do anything in this country without my people”

This could get very ugly very fast.

Side note;

BabyBoobs is an anti-American, anti-labor POS. Just. Like. DonOld.

We live in a world where it's all about you and yet some people blame union members for looking out for themselves when CEOs at thousands per minute. Selfishness can't be okay just for those who already own everything.
 
President Biden on the agreement: “Collective bargaining works, and it is critical to building a stronger economy from the middle out and the bottom up”
(y)

The president applauded all the parties involved for coming together to reopen the ports. He congratulated the ILA dockworkers, saying they “deserve a strong contract” and noted that they sacrificed to keep the ports open during the COVID-19 pandemic.

He also applauded the port operators and careers, and said all parties involved acted “patriotically” so that ports could reopen to ensure the availability of supplies for cleanup after Hurricane Helene hit the U.S.

nicely put, praising everyone for working together and finding a solution.

Haha! I’ll grant you that you are very persistent in your stupidity. The head of the ILA had threatened to wield the corrupt union’s monopoly power to cripple the entire east and gulf coast port system.

BabyBoobs doesn’t like the fact that they were called out for their anti-American, anti-labor post.

BabyBoobs was rooting for a long strike that would have severely damaged the economy just so President Biden and Vice President Harris would have been blamed and damaged politically.

BabyBoobs is a total POS.

Karma will undoubtedly be paying BabyBoobs a visit.

How much more damage can the Biden/Harris administration actually endure. Biden’s response to the Helene disaster is a complete failure. Biden is an incompetent fool surrounded by ineptitude and wokification. His cabinet is a conglomeration of idiots and court jesters, none of whom command expertise of the department they manage. FEMA is a total bust. Mayorkas is a total fool. We should hold elections tomorrow to rid our nation of these incompetent fools derelict in their duties to our nation.

Show some sympathy for Laz. He’s still coming to terms with Biden’s cognitive decline. He was in denial until the very end when Obama and Pelosi stepped in with a strong dose of reality.

The union is not "corrupt" simply because you don't like unions.

The unions did, however, possess a temporary advantage in negotiations that they will likely never have again, and succeeded.

The alternative to using longshoremen to unload ships is to automate terminals to handle containerized cargo. That's the future, there is no doubt about it. The west coast has already automated about 40% of all terminals. Very little elsewhere in the United States

The cost of container automation is enormous at scale. West coast terminals now have much cheaper operating costs, but the tradeoff is that they have to pay off hundreds of millions in loans secured to automation construction. Terminal fees are high on the west coast for the short-to-intermediate term to pay the loans off.

Gulf coast and eastern terminals have temporarily matched the higher west coast shipping fees (shipping companies are screwed...they have to unload SOMEWHERE) and eastern/gulf terminals are pocketing windfall profits as competition has a higher cost basis (and gulf/east coast does not).

The union wants a share of these short-to-intermediate terms profits and authorized a strike to get some of the largesse. The investors in Gulf coast and east coast terminals did NOT want to upset the newfound profit gravy train so they caved in to the unions rather quickly.

Reduced windfall is better than no windfall when the clock is ticking.
