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

[Harpy Eagle]

You do realize that they make over 200 grand a year and are asking for a 77% raise, right? This is why I don't support unions.

I don't get a 77% raise and I don't make 200g's a year.

do you have a link to them all making 200K a year?

Your thread = your laziness

Let us know.

You're lazy and weak.

Fix that.

There is a right way to do something, and there is a wrong way to do something. Using the American economy during an "emergency" in order to exact pain on while hoping to gain some sort of favor in a contract by striking and threatening the stability of the US economy at a very vulnerable time should be considered a criminal act or criminal conspiracy.

Would that be like republic led government shutdowns?

Or senator tupperville's holds on military promotions over abortion politics?

Or asking foreign countries for domestic political favors while holding needed military resources?

You're lazy and weak.

Fix that.

You can't research you're own thread topic, when you're emoting and punching drywall.

Calm down, get back to us.

It's almost as if he is just putting on an act.

Already did, bumpkin. Pay attention and stop being lazy.

Why won't Biden stop the strike, then?

Or is this info just not out there? That is a possibility.

Once again, Bumpkin, it's about revenge and not alienating a powerful union.

According to what or whom? Your butthole?

russia if you're listening...

Yes, we will take that meeting with you at Fat Elvis tower...

Like Kamala paying zelensky to campaign for her? ….did someone use the wrong pronouns for you this morning or something?

 

[Hollie]

As usual, you can't offer a coherent comment.

The fuckup is wrong as usual.

From the NYT.

A key sticking point is wages. East and Gulf Coast longshoremen with six or more years’ experience currently earn $39 an hour, up 11 percent from the start of their previous six-year contract. But over that the same period, inflation has risen 24 percent. A person familiar with the negotiations said the union was asking for a $5-an-hour raise in each year of the new six-year contract, while employers were offering annual raises of $2.50 an hour.

Normal adults ask the question I asked.

According to what or whom?

I offered my guess as to the correct answer.

Come back and own the lie you made up.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The Secretary of Transportation is under the directive of the President, otherwise the president gives the order's, and the administration beneath acts upon those orders.

Are you saying the president is so monstrously derelict he can't say "take care of this"?

You're a lazy, shiftless good- for- nothing who asks about butt-holes.

That is 81k a year assuming no OT. that is pretty close to the national average.

Asking for more than a 10k a year raise for 6 years seems a bit much.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Awwwwww, you poor rudderless small hands boi.

Did the hurricane close your MacDonald's?

The nation is rudderless. Nice of you to notice.

Hence, a negotiation.

What profits are the port companies making?

 

[braalian]

What exactly can the president do in this situation?
