Effects and Other News Concerning the ILA Strike

Actually I would say I am consistent in my beliefs. I do not believe it should be legal for workers to band together and hold a business and consumers hostage to get what they want, just as I don’t believe it should be legal for the auto companies to band together to screw over the workers and consumers. What is good for the goose is good for the gander…

Would be a fine approach for a just and moral people…… we’re not there maybe never were or will be

How did 50K workers strike when only 25K jobs are in the affected ports?

Well since the unions typically support democrats each union member gets two votes, just like in our national elections for President every four years.

Wasn’t sure if I should use purple text.

So the owners of labor can not band together to form an HOA.

But if the workers do it, it's not a HWA but a union.

Don't worry, they'd never try to cripple the economy or anything like that.

Owners of labor should have no more or less rights than the business owners…

Amazing how no comment or complaints on how much money the shipping corporations make on here, nope only on how much the working stiff makes. It’s no wonder why our country is a mess as we turn on each other in jealousy or selfish interests. With 45k members of the longshoremen you could pay them all a million and it would not realistically raise the cost of the items they unload so that you would even notice. I won’t even go into how much money we GIVE away to those who do nothing.

And as many as I asked repeatedly, only one has posted who they work for and or what they do for a living. Hummm.

As a company, all they have to do is not sign the contract.

We could always go back to the nonexistent benefits and work weeks we all had before we had Labor Unions.
