Ted Turner should be airing "On the Waterfront" this week on TCM. With this news about stevedore union, it would probably get good ratings.

Port workers strike starts across the East and Gulf Coasts​

Updated 1:29 AM EDT, Tue October 1, 2024

Nearly 50,000 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) are on strike Tuesday against the nation’s East and Gulf Coast ports, according to the union, choking off the flow of many of the nation’s imports and exports in what could become America’s most disruptive work stoppage in decades.

The strike, which was also confirmed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as well as the Port of Virginia, began at midnight. There appears to be a wide gap between the union’s demands and the offer of the United States Maritime Alliance, which uses the acronym USMX. The maritime alliance represents the major shipping lines, all of which are foreign owned; as well as terminal operators and port authorities.

Yes, and since then union membership went from 35% of our workforce to 5%. No one looking out for the workers. But unions are coming back and Trump/Musk would just fire them, even though that's illegal,now.

This wouldn't be the first time republicans have cut off their noses to spite their faces.

Since Reagan CEO pay has gone up 1322% and our pay only 18%. Good job Reagan

Trump has a "long standing relationship" with a lot of people.

That's why he will be able to get the docks back under control if he can win the election.

Just like Reagan got the hostages out right after the election.

Not my choice of jewelry on a wife....but she says it well. And I'm not the one who has to live with her.

However....she does bring up a salient point. The Corporation broke the contract. Not just bent it but absolutely broke it. Contract negotiations weren't going on....and the contract wasn't over to do that.

But the company broke it anyway.

Plenty still comes into US ports all down the coast, unfortunately usually on foreign hulls to yards run by foreign shippers.

Not really. San Francisco Bay used to get over 200 ships per day. They are lucky to see 50 ships in a month now.

The same is true up and down the coast. The exception being Long Beach.

Indeed, and there was no strike. Thank you for pointing out the vast differences in leadership.

Trump got shit done.

Butt edge edge, and the rest of the Joey bribem admin are incompetent at best.

Good job finally seeing the truth!

To be fair, the ships did get much bigger, and containerization made storage more efficient.

San Francisco can handle anything. One of the few ports in the world that can make that claim.

Long Beach doesn't hold a candle to it.

But long beach is controlled by the Chinese. They don't let longshoremen work for them who are part of the union.

The dock workers make a good wage now.
