    Most people cannot afford to stock up on supplies months ahead of time and 1000s of people are homeless without stores and jobs to go to in Florida and North Carolina. Why do this now?😢😢😢😢

    This is one of those situations where we just had a bad hurricane. Still people without ways to leave their homes. Now a week later we have massive strikes at the ports, another potential system that may hit in the same area. This is not the time to complain about "I’m not making enough." Some people just lost everything and this will only make prices worse for everyone

      First you'd have to find the people who want to do the job then find which ones are most suited then train them while having no experienced people there to help them so you'll end up with a bunch of newbies already getting overworked due to the constant pile up at the docks so no this isn't the right solution.

    So how much are the Union workers are making? Well according to multiple sources like USA Today, CNBC, independent source Washington Post states that : Top-tier workers - meaning anyone who joined the company in 2007 or earlier - make roughly $33 an hour on average, contract summaries for the Detroit Three show. Those hired after 2007 are part of the lower tier and earn up to $17 an hour based on a buildup of 6% annual raises under the last contract.
    Y’all.. majority of the workers come from after 2017. 6% of $17 is 1.07- per year. And for the $33 per hour is $1.98 per year. I live in a 2 person household in the hood. I make $15 and S/O makes $19. We STILL struggle to get bills paid. These people work under billionaires. Who give themselves ‘bonuses’ DAILY. c’mon y’all. Support the people!! It’s an uphill battle for them! NOT the “record breaking profit” CEOS and millionaires and billionaires.

    Port workers are as lazy as they come. They already make more money the majority of the Americans anytime you go to the port they are dragging their feet always complaining but yet they want more money. They need to take them off a union and pay them what they’re worth a straight $10 an hour. They are very greedy. I hope their family supper in this time.
