Striking members of the International Longshoremen’s Association will be back to work at the ports on Friday, the union announced Thursday evening, as the union and the management group representing shipping lines, terminal operators and port authorities have reached a tentative deal on wages.
The union agreed to extend the contract that had expired at the end of Monday until January 15 and have the union members back on the job while the final details are worked out in a full agreement and it is ratified by the rank-and-file.
The 50,000 members of the union working at ports from Maine to Texas have been on strike since early Tuesday morning, halting the flow of the majority of containerized imports into the United States, along with many of the exports, disrupting the sales of American businesses overseas.
That was fun….
Can you tell you’re being played yet?
Hope everyone got their toilet paper stocked up!
I understand desantis was fixing to send in the guard to take over the ports in fla. I also wonder if the commie-fed longshoremen figured out that if their subservience to globo homo played out far enough, Americans may, in their collective displeasure, “ostracize them”. Off the edge of the dock.
DNC: “You’re killing us!!”
Union: “Okay, January, it is.”
A 62% pay raise over 6 years? Has anyone here ever gotten that much from any employer?
