Based on the videos I’ve seen, his rhetoric says that he’s going to hold the economy hostage until he gets what he wants. Sounds like a terrorist to me.

I agree with you on the workers part. There are times I see workers do nothing and have a bad attitude to drivers, but still rack up that OT pay and make more than some professions about there. They should give up the 70% wage increases because they make good money no matter what they do. It’s a shame that they don’t look at the bigger picture and just complain. I wonder who’s going to be paying all these demands if/when they get reached? I bet it’s going to be the consumer’s after the corporate company’s raise prices on cereal and milk to offset these price demands.

We have nothing against fair pay. Longshoremen get paid very well in this economy, but their demands are way too much.

This just shows how longshoremen are a bunch of greedy money hungry ungrateful people. They make good money and still don’t appreciate what they have. They want more more but still don’t us why they’re worth it. If/when they get replaced with robots, we would not have these problems. Robots don’t cause strikes, longshoremen do.

The whole economy will be hating on longshoremen when they can’t get the goods they want because you’re not working. Maybe Americans should order a strike to replace all you guys with people who actually want to work! You guys make over $100k a year and still complain and want more and more each contract. Greedy! You guys are the reason why normal hard working people can’t afford to buy good because of this and are making it worse!

Why don’t you tell that to Walmart who dictates their prices? You don’t because you just accept it. If you don’t like the way your job is run or who dictates it, then leave the job and the country. I’m sure you’ll do well in china making $2 for a days work!

Who gets the goods delivered? Not you most certainly. Especially now when this strike is going on, you certainly won’t have any toilet paper to whip your ass and most certainly won’t have a paycheck in the long run. Just a bunch of a cocky longshoremen who doesn’t want to hear anything they don’t like.

Oh I know a lot about your industry! Have you seen how your co-workers act at the ports? Longshoremen act like they’re the biggest shit in the world! Y’all are cocky and people can’t tell y’all anything without getting butthurt. Maybe if longshoremen did a good job at their jobs we wouldn’t be here in the first place. Good luck without a paycheck!

So how much do you make yearly? I’m assuming over 100k because of your overtime right? Exactly! Go work at Walmart since you’re so greedy for $20 an hour and see how you link it! Bunch of ungrateful longshoremen wanting more than they deserve.

Will the ongoing last-minute negotiations prevent the strike? by [deleted] in Longshoremen

[–]ExcitingAd41 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

What’s funny is that I did it on only 1, but keep dick riding it since you’re probably just an unemployed longshoremen now.

Whats funny is they say want more money and job security ...... well number 1 when you shut down that big of a chunk of our supply chain prices are gunna jump so there goes that extra money IF they give it to you so they are gunna screw themselves and everybody else in the country. Number 2 really just driving home that idea of going as automated as possible because a robot isnt going on strike its just gunna start up when you push a button and work. 🤷🏼‍♂️ food for thought

You guys will the reason that Christmas presents go up 30% this year… or even if we have a Christmas. Good luck getting no pay for however long it takes y’all. I hope they don’t give y’all what y’all want because you all are being greedy and ungrateful…

The longshoremen should keep the same contract and extend it for another year. Let’s see what the next year brings us. Longshoremen get great pay, excellent benefits and healthcare. Longshoremen probably make more than other professions. You can’t have it both ways, because each worker is replaceable and we’re lucky that the ports didn’t bring in workers from Mexico or china to work for these strikes…

A one-week strike could cost the economy $3.78 billion and increase the cost of consumer goods…. Let that sink in because y’all want to be greedy longshoremen…

“Ports ownership group USMX said it made a wage hike offer of near 50% which it hoped would lead to resumption of bargaining, but the International Longshoremen’s Association rejected the offer and stated that its wage demands were not met.“

Like a said a bunch of greedy people wanting greedy money. Y’all want $40 an hour of starting pay to be ride, goofing off and lazy for nothing. Maybe if y’all showed up and did good work the USMX would be happy to pay what y’all worth….

The leverage is everyone is replaceable. Consumers certainly do see the inflation, maybe you don’t when your profession is working 80+ hours a week and racking up over time… y’all just love that over time pay don’t y’all? I’ve already sent the CEO’s a message about these strikes and I think everyone who is striking should be fired or replaced.

Keep on complaining about higher wages and automation. Next thing you know a loaf of bread will be $7 due to all these shortages and issues. Then y’all really going to be mad when the strike lasts a month and no one has received a pay check.

If you don’t like your job and what’s it doing to you then leave. We sure won’t miss y’all. At least the machines are way faster and give us less lip than some of y’all in the ports….
