Stocked up on Cento San Marzano canned tomatoes for my pasta sauce. Goya pinto beans and black beans.

I just checked and the UAW did NOT get a 32 hr work week.

All part of the plan . They'll swoop in and negotiate a settlement and look like hero's to all involved .

The Harris-Biden regime is on top of things! Oh wait...

Amazing.

Could this all be Kabuki theater to help Kamala look good in a week or two when she comes in and "negotiates" a "deal" to end the chaos and "save" the economy?

I put nothing past these goddam Dems anymore

Stop

Don't post that kind of shit in this forum.

Imagine this...

Some attorney files a class action lawsuit against the ILA for damages of $1000 per household in the US. Super easy to prove the price increases, chaos, damage to the supply chain, so we have visible damages.

341,814,420 people X $1000 = 3.4b + punitive damages and poor little old Harold Daggett gets his wish in reverse.

Heck, he would probably have to forfeit his $900k salary, sell his yacht, and sell his Bentley.

When Trump is re-elected I hope he will push hard for much more production in the USA so we don't have to import all the garbage we now do, and kept hostage by all involved in the import game.
Make it here, Problem solved.

The union can't stop this. They can only delay it. It's as simple as that.

Look at the efficiency. There is no way that the United States will not adopt this technology.

No business in any industry should bargain away their future automation. It's going to fundamentally change society.

I don't know that he can correct 35 years of globalism, started by daddy Bush, in a mere four years, but let's hope he gets a good start on it.

We can’t have industry and commerce held hostage by an insiders club of nepotist Democrats with an over inflated sense of worth. They are f’ing with other people’s jobs by causing supply chain interruptions and artificial shortages.
Same with automotive production. Have robots build them, if they can build electronics by robot they can build vehicles or off load vessels

Auto manufacturing is predominantly automated. Robots weld,paint, assemble, drive around the plant with parts, etc.

The Teamsters should gone away with the horse and buggy.

Yep. Unions should be done away with. No way no how should an employee be able to tell the employer how to run his business. You don't like it? There's the door.

Harold Daggett, leader of the ILA telling exactly how he is going to destroy the USA if he doesn't get his contract.

No one should have this much power.

My biggest problem with this is we are the United States of American and 'everything' comes in on ships? This isn't the UK or Hawaii, we're he USA. Supposed to be the most powerful country in the world and this is what cripples us?

This goes back to what I said earlier. Why can't we hire just about anyone on the planet to unload boxes? What special skill do these longshoremen process that no others on the planet have? It's not like they need NBA/NFL level of skills; they don't need CEO level of business acumen; they don't need Einstein level of brains.

What is their special skill they possess that I couldn't learn in a short period? Or that a heavy equipment worker couldn't learn? I just don't understand where they derive the specialness from?

Besides that, why can the Chinese automate what seems like a menial task to me, but the US is incapable of doing it? We sent people to the moon; we invented stealth technology; and we have made the vast majority of medical advances on the planet. We are not some 3rd country, we can do this too.

Please someone tell me why. Why are these workers so special, and why can't we automate them out of existence and replace them with a kid that's good at video games?

^^^^
Because it's all corrupt and based on who you know or owe.
