Please tell me what Democrats have to do with this if Trump was in office they would still be striking so tell me what do the Democrates have to do with this, this is about pay and job security nothing political about it, but one thing for sure if Trump was in office you would be paying a high tariff on these goods coming in from the ports

Please hold off the strike until the desolate people who have lost absolutely everything from Hurricane Helene can get supplies. TN and NC mountains were hit especially hard. They have no water, no food, no roads, no houses, nothing. Withholding supplies at port, will cause even more trauma to the desperate folks.
Why not pay the working class fair wages? Those port operators bring in billions upon billions while the workers are fighting to make ends meet. Take care of the people who make you rich, pretty simple.
@@matthewrobert2888 I’m with ya on that. But if you feel that way then why are you complaining that they are complaining? Because they make more than you do? And please, inform yourself. This strike isn’t just about better pay. They don’t want AI to take over their job. It’s also a nationwide eye opener. We’re to dependent on foreign goods. We need to start investing into our country more and less into China.
@2023DodgeRam um because it's about to make my life harder with prices going up on everything... because of this, and they want more than a 50 percent raise as well which is insane but to be honest most every big company uses ai technology alot of these guys i feel bad for because they need help with common sense
@@matthewrobert2888 because it will make your life harder, poor you. Life isn’t just about you. These workers have every right to strike. I do agree that they should be happy with a 50% pay increase, but who am I to tell them what they should be happy with? Maybe this ought to be a lesson to our government that we need to stop relying so heavily on other countries. AI doesn’t pay taxes, humans do. We have mouths to feed. I can see AI being great at assisting when humans need help. But if we over time be reliant on AI it will make us weak as a species. Maybe this should be a wake up call for you to do more with your life so you can have more in your life? If you can’t buy extra every week to put back for times like this, maybe you need to do better. I’m able to talk to you like this and 11 years ago I was completely homeless, addicted to hard drugs and alcohol, sleeping in shelters or in a tent.
@2023DodgeRam its a waste of time explaining things your prob one of these workers i work 2 jobs and what makes you think a port worker deserves the salary a famous person makes tell me???Just so you know this is gonna crippe the us economy
STOP exporting and importing and it wouldn't be an issue. Our American FARMERS should be growing for a Domestic Market and not exporting. If they get stuck with food they can't deport (A GOOD THING ) they could sell it to the Domestic Market at a lower price and the stores could reduce there overpriced goods.
I say this on every post. Where are the stats on the foreign shipping companies' profits? As fellow Americans, we should be fighting for increased wages in all our jobs. If the Union gets its increase, will the foreign shippers take less profit or just pass it along. Why do we continue to point the finger at each other while we are being robbed from these corporations. Look at their prifits and ask yourself, can they afford these increases and still make billions without costing Americans more, then decude how you feel about it
The managers are the ones not meeting with the workers, in the hopes that the government will force them to continue to work for peanuts. What a pickle!
What's the hurricane conditions around the country I would highly suggest that we just give the poor workers what they deserve which is what they're asking for.

Should a strike actually occur, I'm guessing the holiday shopping will not be impacted greatly, as most merchandise has already been shipped and in country. SOME certain foods, and what we get from Europe will result in shortages. We can see these things as early as one week in such a strike. Once the word gets out, panic buying will escalate that time frame. Will our government intervene before such? Probably, but this is an election year! On top of this, Israel is in the news!
When times are tough no one cares about a flat screen TV or the latest iPhone. This is about important goods. You can't store bananas forever. You can refrigerate meat for a long time but that costs. Also, grain and other produce are not localized, so that has to be shipped to cities and towns. Then you would say, "hey just let the truckers ship the good already here". True, but trucking companies are not going to waste fuel with just one or two commodities and not have volume of shipments to pay their workers. The logistics of freight is not so simple my friend.
