wtf am I doing breaking my body down to make $20-25/hr to end up with $3000 in medical bills at the end of the year to "fix" myself. I'm gonna go work on a fucking dock now 😂
It's not so much about the raise. They want protection from automation. A hundred+ years ago horses were replaced by cars. In this scenario, we're the "horse". Horse population went down after that real fast. Meaning, "so will we" Companies shouldn't erode their customer base. It's not good for profits.
as a railroader ( BLE/teamsters) they made us go back to work and we couldnt strike sooooo they can make them do it to "national security" im also a US Navy Vet DC1 actually
lol the people looking in have no idea I’m a longshoreman myself on the east coast after 3 years I made enough money to not really depend on the Ila because you make good money from the start the problem is to many longshoremen live beyond there means so they work double and triple shifts to cover their expenses
You're so right people are so naive they think things are just going to keep on going but these people also work the whole 4 years of the pandemic didn't get a raise and they were essential workers. While most of America got unemployment they were out there working making sure food was on the shelves. If they go on strike for even a few days they're losing about a billion a day in the economy people have no idea what's in store if they actually go on strike. I'm not saying they deserve the 77% I would say at least what the people in the west coast are making maybe a little more plus money for work hazard during covid. Also guaranteed job security that is the number one thing money is one thing you can work with that but I have a feeling the main fight is over automation. People with your younger than 35 you've never seen what a strike looks like, I'm talking a real strike not some BS but this guy saying is true and if they go on strike for a week or two weeks you will see mayhem like you would never seen before. If this goes on even longer there will be no Christmas for many people that will be no Thanksgiving and it's why you should support their pay increase and protecting their jobs down the line. You want to see the stock market crash once it starts to happen the strike you'll see it really crash as these people are the most vital people needed they keep everything moving once they stop moving the rest of the country stops moving also.

People don't get it. These are people working manual labor, in the elements, next to open water all year long. they deserve a pay increase. If we can send billions to Ukraine and Israel, we can support the workers literally keeping this country running. I wish i was in a union that was willing to fight for its workers like this in these times.
What if the president said "either you work or you're fired, we will rehire all positions"? How do you think that will go? Honestly asking, all answers welcome.
@@SILLY_BILLY_777exactly. Not everyone in the Union is a crane operator. And if that happened you'd need to train an entire workforce from basically scratch, who's gonna train their own replacement? Anyone who's done any sort of manual labor job knows these guys deserve every cent they're asking for, rain or shine, cold or hot weather these guys are out there keeping the country running. Plus we've spent the last 30+ years outsourcing all of our production to other countries ITS TIME TO WAKE UP. thousands of middle class jobs we've sent overseas need to come back home
Give these people a raise they deserve it they work hard more and more cargo is coming in to the port from China and other countries they have more work to do give them their money that they deserve our economy everything is raising up high but then again the democrats don't care because they want the illegal immigrants in these positions.
I hope they push more automation. People are struggling and this is gonna make things worse when a bunch of greedy mother effers want more when they make $81k/annually on avg. I’m not saying they don’t deserve a raise but 77% is ridiculous. Automation is the future so to ban it is not feasible.
@@smithsmith7640the problem is that you need a technician for every so many machines. But one machine replaces dozens of workers. So now to work at the same facility, there are less jobs total and those that remain require higher education. Not everyone can be a doctor or engineer, why would we out mode everyone but doctors and engineers.
It’s not like the longshoreman program these machines🤦🏾♂️. That’s the whole reason they want to stop automation. If they could program AI they would be eager to push AI. Their labor is being devalued that’s the whole point
There's a new interview with the Union president that came out a few hours ago, it's not automation in itself but the fact that the Companies are misrepresenting shipments with this automation, plus if a union can't help you keep your job then there's no real point in having one
You know that’s going to cause people to lose jobs right? It’s already happening with self checkout in stores. Plus a lot of stores and restaurants have shut down. That’s why they are striking because if automation happens they will have enough money to at least find another job or retire depending on their age. Everyone doesn’t have options especially if they have been working there for a long time.

New hires get $20 an hour
It.means that America has lost it edge .Ot needs less imports and more products produced in the USA

They want a 70% pay increase and won’t stop striking until they get it
yeah man folks wont pay attention until they prices start going up lol
Right
Prices been going up....???
Then it’ll be to late lol prices gone go up and never come down

Sounds like communism you can pay union dues and not get representation communism socialism

As long as we trackin Bro i kno u glad u out the military

Due to the costs associated with this strike I’ll have to charge port cities more money for my products.

What does "capping" mean?
It doesn’t make sense, if you’re actually worried about automation then why would you also ask for a 70% pay increase

You still need HUMANS to program those machines to operate. It’s not like those automated robots can work independently without causing a sh*t show.

west coast port worker going on strike.. tomorrow i heard.. breaking news
You need your hearing checked
The same ILA luddites that don't want automation probably use Netflix, ATMs and Apple Itunes. Hypocrisy perhaps?
