Experts warn store prices will soar and shelves will be empty as greedy dockworkers strike over 80% pay raise

[citygator]

they are demanding that their pay is nearly doubled !! the union has turned down a generous pay raise offer !

Im not saying they are asking for the right amount but I think the stickler is automation not pay, right? At least that is the article summaries ive read. Sounds like a small issue to resolve to me but I will leave it to the parties involved.

Tell us what policies has caused the cost of living to skyrocket.

Harris and Xiden's war on the working class. You have repeatedly been told this when asked.

 

[Frankenstein]

Moronic response from speechless trolls.

Got something you want to discuss bring it on!Instead of your mindless low IQ arguments of MUH Trump. Name one policy of Harris's you support

Those crane operators and lift truck drivers are highly skilled operators. It takes experience and skill to do those jobs without crashing into shit. They have to be aware of everything around them, and they have to keep those containers flowing smoothly in a busy environment.

The lift trucks in that picture are like planes lining up for takeoff. They are orderly, maintaining safe spacing, traveling down the same centerline paths. Their loads are all CG balanced, and at the correct heights for visibility.

Making it look easy is what skilled professionals do...

There are high school dropouts operating that equipment. It isn't rocket science. It ain't nowhere close to flying an airplane...lol

God you sure hope the shit hits the fan huh? October Surprise?

But don't forget how Trump handled his crisis. He ignored covid like it was the dinner check.

Post fails. This is not about Trump, Trump is not in office right now.

BIDEN and HARRIS are your experts in charge right now.

How does that make you feel?

You have yet to post any of their policies that caused this, you just spew the right wing talking points.

How about the war on fossil fuels that these idiots started when they got into office.
That set the stage for the inflation that soon took off.

I literally just did, the war on the working class is their policy

I did dipshit. I put forth a coherent statement and you mindlessly replied. You are the one who needs to develop cognizant thoughts.

I noted that talking head you just inferred was dirty is a very close ally with Trump and I had no insight whether that was a factor or not. You have such an insecurity complex you converted that to some attack on the orange fat guy. Try to toughen up with weights. Might improve your self confidence.

Work out 4 times a week and am in tremendous shape for 58, most guess me at about 45. Another premise of yours busted!

 

[sartre play]

More pushing of fear & unrest.

Then it must be the small pecker. Regardless at least we are aligned on what we are arguing about. Apparently nothing.

You only allow your father-figure CEOs to get whatever they ask for.

They're doing this now because they know President Potato Head won't do shit about their strike! Think about what their demands are! At the same time they're saying "don't you dare replace us with automation!" they're demanding a 70% raise! I've got news for you, boys. Holding the nation hostage like this isn't the way to keep automation from happening. What it's going to do is make it quite clear that we NEED automation and the sooner the better!

College Graduates' Jobs Can Be Automated Just As Easily

That's $300 a day! I could have paid off my mortgage payment after 3 day's work. My current car payment in 2 days.

Then You Should Have Unionized, Instead of Being Jealous of Those Who Did

How many thousands of people's lives depend on that ATC never f-ing up!

Never Allowed to Talk About Inferior Pilots Who Bought Their Jobs

Not only does an airline require that future pilots pay for their own flight school, but its even more unmotivating requirement is to not have time for a full-time job and living in depressing poverty. So passengers crash and burn as a sacrifice to their worship of unpaid training.

My brother was a controller (now retired). He hired on when Reagan fired the controllers. I've spent some time in Denver Center and Seattle Center and know the system.

He describes it as a hard job to learn and an easy job to do. I think that is pretty accurate.

Air traffic safety is not about super-smart people never fucking up. It's about a process that catches problems and deals with them before they become a disaster. For example- the moment separation is lost, the alarms go off and a controller is assigned to the problem aircraft. He only deals with that one airplane, and his only job is to get that plane routed back into shape. So mid-air collisions almost never happen. When they do, it's almost always aircraft that are not under ATC control.

Quality is always about process, not about people. People make mistakes- that is unavoidable. Good process recognizes that reality and accounts for it.

Lloyd Bridge's Falling Down

Was your brother highly paid during training? Relevant to getting the most talented people instead of wannabes, that is the only important issue, which is why totalitarian thought-control never lets us think about it.
