First, all the supplies needed for the hurricane are already in stock. The strike had zero affect on supplies for the hurricane. But did you feel dock workers were heartless when they worked during the pandemic, while some dick workers died. Did you know the foreign shippers charged our country 20x more to ship a container while the world had a disaster. Did you know the dock workers union has been asking for 2 years to negotiate the upcoming contract. Did you know foreign shippers jacked prices up because of the strike nearly 5x the normal cost. I guess it wasn't reported. Ask yourself why? Companies and the medua want Americans to fight other Americans while the AI our jobs and take the money, it's scary how they put out bad info to shape and mold public opinion!
This guy must think we're stupid. I hope the automation takes over because most of these union workers stand around and talk all day doing absolutely nothing while bringing home over 10,000 a month.
Cars don’t pay taxes but we use them, oh look! A bigger economy! We use less ships and less crews now adays than we did centuries before, why? Because technology improved! Did economies crash? No, they boomed!
We worked during the pandemic and our union is larger than yours...Automation IS coming there is no stopping it...your not the only ones...but you can be replaced..your union president is gonna cost you jobs
There going to go full automation and hire fewer employees watch this strike will have everything automated to avoid the increase and for this not to happen again
Its your choice just like the Military. You know what your getting into when you take the job. Quit and do something else or STOP WHINNING AND GET TO WORK!

They chosen their contract without adding pandemic possibility into the equation. And now blaming the company. Its was your union boss is fault this isnt his first contract writing
@@basketballlife5280the problem is not your fault, you probably only seen a headline or lustened to fake news. Dock workers asked to negotiate the contract for 2 years. The shippers refused. Has it been reported shippers used this to increase shipping cost 5x the amount.

Foreign shippers are doing a make and take, and are using our medua to reoprt a narrative. I support the American worker!
Longshoremen see their work as essential to the country’s economy, ensuring that goods are available for everyone. They feel their loyalty and hard work should be respected, especially when companies are making record profits. Those that support the fascist right need to wake up.
They dont start till 8 am take a break at 930 to 10 stop for lunch at 1130 to 1 and call it a day at 4 oclock. They will call me a liar but that is the truth.

It's called dedication. He's fighting to keep our jobs. He's saying it's more demanding than the average job. It is. We make $20 an hour coming in the door, with no guarantee of work. You have to have time put in to make top wages. And the ones that have that time put in deserve that and more.
They deserve an increase, sure. But not what they’re asking for. Our nurses and doctors work just as hard as they do. Do you see them doing this? And what about all the money pharmaceutical companies make? Something should about breaking the union
Im curious, you heard about the American labor wage percentage increase. Has the news reported anything on the Foreign Shipper, if you are honest and say no, ask yourself why?
All unions favor loyalty and nepotism over intelligence individuality and integrity. I could be a pipe fitter or a millrights worker based on my experience but because i dont have a family member or friend in the union to vouch i cant get in.
You have a choice to lift up each other or pull each other down. I think all Americans deserve better, and if they are fighting for theirs, I am happy for them, now go get yours too!!!

Wouldnt happen if we had automation. Which they have faught.
Oh no you miss a game. Use a vacation day
Ocen Oil rig welders and other workers work 24/7 like that to for 3 month at a time Supplying the country with golden crude oil.
And they get paid for it
weak....
because of the greed of the port workers. I don't support them
The corporations broke their contract.
What are you on? Did you even listen? What part of "RECORD CORPORATE PROFIT" DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND? THAT CORPORATE GREED? geezus wake up and get a clue.
@@stopfelchingtrumpx9418 Gross profit vs net profit there is your clue
@@stopfelchingtrumpx9418 so when a corporation does not make record profits does that mean the dockworkers get pay cuts?
@@duckman5849 Hear Hear!!!! say it louder for those in the back!!!!
Unions are needed and awesome. Power to the employees
The selfishness of the unions threatens everyone in the US, man, woman and child. They are betrayers and traitors abandoning America in her greatest time of need. 😢
I like how this guy is trying to garner sympathy by saying they/he Misses birthdays and football games... uuhh yeah, it's called a job! Whats he think? The maintenace man or the emt gets time off for the game?
Guys been there 35 years so the job cant be that bad...
It's called dedication. He's fighting to keep our jobs. He's saying it's more demanding than the average job. It is. We make $20 an hour coming in the door, with no guarantee of work. You have to have time put in to make top wages. And the ones that have that time put in deserve that and more.
Cool so now everyone who doesnt make over 100k a year has to lose work... gocha
You chose that life for yourself and are complaining? Show me what part of your job is worth over 100k
Sounds like a regular job man…..🤷♂️
Morgan Freeman in the house!
Amen
These guys are way overpaid! I hope they all get fired!
Hater 👆🏾
My kinda American… truthful
Bless Your Heart ❤️
They deserve an increase, sure. But not what they’re asking for. Our nurses and doctors work just as hard as they do. Do you see them doing this? And what about all the money pharmaceutical companies make? Something should about breaking the union
Im curious, you heard about the American labor wage percentage increase. Has the news reported anything on the Foreign Shipper, if you are honest and say no, ask yourself why?
YOU chose that job!!! I hope the docks go 100000% auto!!!!!!!!!!!
Everybody lost people during Covid. Simple solution. Hire more people. Pay less to each. Cut out overtime.
Military MISSES A LOT TOO> WOW REALLY
I get that kind of work no set hours done when the jobs done , your right hard to find people to work 8 without crying lol 😂
Not if they made 50-60hr, lol
All unions favor loyalty and nepotism over intelligence individuality and integrity. I could be a pipe fitter or a millrights worker based on my experience but because i dont have a family member or friend in the union to vouch i cant get in.
Greed
Screw the longshoremen. They work just like all of us do. I work 6 days a week and never take holidays off and I was able to manage. 💯
You a idiot your crap job can not be compared to this job they have he works from a trillion dollar company that the world depends on
You have a choice to lift up each other or pull each other down. I think all Americans deserve better, and if they are fighting for theirs, I am happy for them, now go get yours too!!!
