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?😢😢😢😢
SUCK FOR THEM... TRY NOT BEING A POOR
This has. Been planned for a while now i don't blame them we need to take control of our economy.really need to bring our work back to the us. About half the country is homeless
Americans have been spoiled off of made in China junk for way too long . Time to start saving up and start supporting our nation economy ....aka buying made in the USA , buying from small family farms , buying from small busiensses and arts and craft makers
@@juanshaftpatel7488yea if only they were dock workers making 6 figures plus to drive forklifts🤦♂️
Don’t make the worker the bad guy. They are negotiating a contract and you diminish their work.
Well im a trucker so Chicken,beef and wood,Ford and vesbales come from the USA even tolet papper
Why should we the people suffer from the corporations poor decisions
I went to my local BJ's yesterday. They usually have PALLETS full of the toilet paper my family likes. Yesterday, there were literally only 5 packs of it left at 5:30pm. Cornholio is going to be sad very soon!
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
Corporations aren't owed workers, regardless of the circumstances.
I say fire them all! Those that just lost their jobs would love to take their places! End greedy unions!
There are millions of people who would love to work there. Those guys dont make minimum wage.Replace people that went on strike and problem solved.
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.
@@kevinlee5753 but to give 70% pay increase, is too much too. Most people dont get it plus benefits at union, people just dream to have
Agreed
Anybody can be trained. They basically warehouse workers @@kevinlee5753
Good luck
Thats why trump said made in usa,because you paying 70 bucks a hour for those woker will also make everything go up
I wonder how they will pay there bills I hope they got money save up.
Bruh they make money already . There greedy that’s why there on strike cause they have money saved up and want more money cause there pocket watching
They get a check from the Union every week during strikes but it’s only like 1/3 of there paycheck
Don’t listen to him panic whenever A person say don’t do
Exactly.
But shhhhh.
Survival of the fittest.
If they haven't learned by now there is no hope for them.
I cut all the tags off electronics that say not to use in the shower or bath.
It's the humane way.
Better start showing some serious love to your local farmers. They are going to be your local communities lifelines...Just saying. At this pace, it's going to be roasted Crow for Thanksgiving.
dont take this guys advice. go get yur stuff.
See if farmer Brown's local farmstand sells out for the first time in decades.
I went to the store yesterday and these mf already got all the toilet paper 😭😭
Water too, and laundry detergent, everything. It's getting crazy and I'm in one of the areas where the hurricane just came to, and this is not what we needed.
Toilet tissues lol these are shipments from overseas? I will not have German beer and French cheese
The horror...oh no cheese or beer😂😂 all my stuff comes not on a boat..maybe in six months😊
And next month is the election
The regime in charge doesn't want anyone voting, remember that. Demonkkkrats are not your friends.
Intelligent shoppers still have C..../4/20 stock of TP!
I don’t use Toilet Tissue.
Their demands are rediculous! Fire them all! A lot of people hurting right now that lost their homes. They would love to make $100 grand a year. Greedy unions!
Extortion is illegal in America. You can protest because you just got fired. To much greed
YOURE POOR.. NO ONE WANTS YOUR OPINION
So the workers are greedy? Nah there is no way you’re saying that while corporations make record profit.
@@joeltroughton3021Yes. The companies have nothing to do with rising inflation. That's cause by government printing nonexistent money. The cost of living will continue to rise. These raises are worthless since the printing hasn't stopped...
Similar to USP strike last year. Now UPS laid-off 45k employees in 3 years. People should called stupid port employees. 😂😂😂
Dont worry Harris will fix it. She won't do it now she will do it in January. Yea right!
I'm sure she's working on her next word salad speech to calm the village idiots as we speak.
What is it about toilet paper?
Lmfao no it’s just a port strike meaning goods can’t come into the county so it’s about just about Every thing considering we make nothing in the USA any more.
And paper towels lol
People are dumbed down. Too much floride courtesy of the government.
People of such little faith
I want to see them keep this energy when their families are hungry and their bills are due.
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.
I never listen to the msm propaganda pushers.
That's why I won't have to be out fighting for toilet paper with the people that never learn.
They make between 83 thousand and 210,000 a year. They are asking for a 74 percent pay increase over the next 6 years which averages out to 5 dollars an hour per year. F those greedy Union workers.
These workers are delusional. They are adding to price hikes.
They're not trying to hold up anything but they are😂
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.
You just salty cause you didn't learn back in 2020 to keep extra stock jic.
The government is your enemy and if covid didn't wake you up you might as well keep on sleepin.
