The government makes tens and billions of dollars. From our tax dollars.Where is our fare share. Oh ya, we give it to other countries and illegal immigrants.
No such thing as tax dollar but fed reseve debt notes and its not your money. Get it right.
"We" don't give billions to other countries, the government does🤬🤬🤬
Dumb comment haha
Look in hunters closet
The borders are f'd up, food prices are high, and now this? And you want to rush out and vote for more of this? Man, please make it make sense!!!!
Sounds like you're waiting for someone to come save you.
orange man bad
Vote trump thats what we need
I can make sense of all of it, but you are too far gone to believe it. You blame a President when you should blame yourself for not stranding up for the Everyman and his right to make a living. Thus, you are doomed.
It's like an episode of The Twilight Zone!
Another reason why we need to work on America being more independent.
So get ready to pay much higher prices.
Have you noticed the economy we can't afford products made in the United States that's why we have ships
So communism?
Don't burst their bubble
Greed
Supply chain need to be all in USA not hodge podge
$525 billion to Ukraine, $750 billion to illegals, $700.00 for Maui families and $750.00 for hurricane families, that’s Kamala Harris America!!
IT IS TRULY DISGRACEFUL
So the folks in Maui can't be compensated after the wildfire ravaged the area and killed people. U trump supporters are bonafide idiots.
Billions to Ukraine just for government personnel pensions…don’t forget that one…even though they’ll tell you otherwise
Nothing to do with her..this is all because of the greedy white corporations
America is full of fools, yep , fools.
MAFIA AT ITS BEST😡😡😡😡😡
Oh he is definately getting paid for this one. Thinks he's mafia but hey nothing a few real mafia people couldn't take care of.
I like the Italian mafia better than this new government mafia.

And all the idiots are out panic buying up all the toilet papper 😂🙄
Even in small town Walmarts. Not only the Coscos and Sams. I saw it today. Town of 5000. TP is made in USA.
They are democrats say no more
This country was built on toilet paper.
TP is not imported😂😂😂
I use both sides of TP.
We need to make a lot more things in America.
One more reason to bring manufacturing HOME>
Just before the elections....wow, what a coincidence!?
Yeah but it doesn’t help the Democrats to have the economy absolutely crash this time. I don’t understand the game plan at all.
The contract ran out on October 1st. Yeah, that is a coincidence.
Another reason to Build it in America
The fact they chose to do this during a multi state disaster tells me they don’t care about people. So their stupid signs are hypocritical.
I was in several unions, and they don't. All they see is greed and power
Ehhh to me it helps thier movement the disasters are good movaters for the greedy companies to pay their employees more and not to replace thier employees with machines
Look at their salaries!! They are not suffering , their wages are pretty high already. Automate the ports already
I understand they want to keep up with inflation, but mob boss saying his people are gonna come a cripple me is too much.
Give those jobs to people who want to work.
Harold J. Daggett is rich. He does not work except to scam a huge pay raise, buy another 1.5 mil. home. Cripple the East Coast Harry.
I don't know if asking not to be replaced by machines while walking out on the job is the best strategy.
Beef and pork is from the US. TOLIET PAPER and WATER also in the US!!! Stop freaking out all!!!!!
it will affect everything
From someone in the business.....
Most of US pork and Beef......
Is owned by.... Exported to ......
Overseas.....
All the hogs I feed are for China.
Strikes like this will force those companies to go full automation if them folks dont go back to there jobs soon . Make that money while you can because full automation is coming for sure now. Those thug bosses dont care about the workers.
They are greedy.
Now they will learn.
The cry for 1k minimum wage won't help either
Look at what happened to the fast food places when the workers thought that they "won" by getting higher wages.. Jobs were lost and robots were purchased.
These dock workers are greedy, selfish and arrogant!! All they are doing is forcing shipping companies to go automated!!
@@Lacheyenona72 The ILA endorsed Joe Biden, the ILA endorsed Bidenflation, the ILA now wants to profit off of inflation with a pay raise almost 4 times the rate of the inflation they voted for, and they want YOU to pay for it in the form of additional inflation. I think that about sums it up. Dock owners, go ahead and automate as much as you can and hire non-union to run the machines. Let the ILA earn the true minimum wage - ZERO. Then pass the savings on to the consumers as they compete for our custom.
Unions need shut down. They are no longer needed as laws now punish employers who abuse its employees
Tell that to the postal workers
Laws are written by corporations, man.
Laws don't apply to billionaires.
Maybe Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc should go in together and develop their own automated port.
You would think they would have, by now.
Automated ports are already being build as we speak.
I could definitely see that happening.
@@glennc8991 bahaha, you stand up for the corporations and dismiss the Everyman. You will get exactly what you deserve.
@@youarenotme01 So let me get this straight. The President of the Longshoreman's Association has more power over the US economy then the Fed or any other entity? That's my main issue!
"YA BETTA THANK A UNION MEMBA!- KAMALA. 😡
AGING LIKE WARM MILK
😂
Please bring in international port contactor workers and go automation. These workers pick the worst time to strike, especially right after the devastating Helene caused, this isn't right.
Please let me know when it's the right time for anything ? I will wait ?
THIS UNION IS VERY SELFISH...OUR COUNTRY IS AT A TURNING POINT.
The average pay there is $80,000.
I'm wondering if this is coming about to show the American people how selfish these workers are. Especially the union president. I saw where he makes over 900,000 a year, has two homes and a few fancy boats.
It's not that he has all this that bothers me. It's that he has acquired most of it from union dues.
The asteroid cannot come quick enough...
Democrats and Unions love my money.
Democrats have become so bad most unions don’t even like them anymore
Proving that The Love of Money is the root of all Evil.
Thats what you got out of that segment? Not 800 percent profit for foreign companies? The union (middle class workers) and democrats are the problem?
@@Combatvet207 absolutely the fault of all of those people who only have a high school degree and no other job possibilities other than to hold America hostage when we. have just been devastated by a huuicane!
I'm still waiting on my back pay from 2016-2021⚕️🎉🖐️⬇️🔥🪄🎩
Why now when we need Supplies desperately for the Hurricane Victims. People are dying and hungry Homeless and can’t even get water. Why now when the country is suffering and unstable. Proving The love of money is the root of all Evil.
Has nothing to do with the ports
No they are about the American people. so they say. My -ss greed that's what it is about. My company president probably makes 90 times the amount I do. Guess what not my business . It's their company . All i should worry about is my self and the fact that I still have a job to provide for my family. But I would never think of holding someone's family accountable for it. When I was hired I agreed to a certain wage and that's what I make. Would I like a raise ? But I am not going to try and stop the world to get it.
Why now, because they absolutely positively hate America.They want us all to suffer and die without food medicine housing and jobs.
They are as un-American as the illegal immigrants that crossed our border. Their boss needs to go join jimmy hoffa and the rest of them have targets on their backs.
Automate, every port put all 45000 that managed to survive with the targets on their back out of work. No Union has the right to hold America hostage.
@@Martin-mt3wz Sound like a bootlicker too me.
Because their contracts are up. Bad timing, but they should be able to negotiate.
Automate everything possible. A union should not be able to hold our country hostage.
Smh so you want to see thousands of people lose their jobs wtf
the worker is tired of taking one for the team
More like taking away from the team! It’s like if all the janitors turned the power off at the electric plant and demanded triple the salary! it’s outrageous, I hope they replace them all with machines
@@blove142 No machines but non union unemployed Americans
@@joanlafleur9349Never supported unions. With the money given to them, might as well get a good labor lawyer on retainer to fight for their rights and protections.
Right non union Americans then if that doesn't work out automate baby!
I don’t believe in profit sharing. Business owners take all of the risk. 70% pay increase is ridiculous. Owners are seriously looking at full automation at this point. Workers days are numbered
Accidents are gonna happen that’ll give automation a good push
Correction: 77% pay increase..
They work 60/70 hr weeks to sniff 100k. Not a govt union. If your not in a union or have a labor contract don't worry there's 30 million illegals going to take your job for half the pay
They take all of the risk until they become public. Then the workers are included in the risk, imo.
We don’t negotiate with terrorists
Do, but shouldn't.
They aren't terrorist
They're heros
@@dopeymonk3y643yes they are.

Well the ports have the next 6 years to plan how to automate their ports. Unfortunately many will eventually lose their jobs. Then again, there's 6 years for the people to plan for a new career, save money and prepare.
Just the threat of a shortage will make prices spike -
If the companies dont go fully automated now. The workers will just do the same thing again next time, it's time to make our ports efficient by modernizing them and letting America move forward instead of holding it back
It's been 51 years since they went out on strike last ..... so No it probably wouldn't happen next time .
The overtime the West Coast workers are going to make is going to be incredible! A lot of the workers are going to be very happy with this. It's a lot of long hours and hard work but very lucrative. Their paychecks will reflect it. Some of them will be making up to $200,000 a year because of it.
Time for Automated Ports!! Get rid of these greedy, selfish, workers. This is extorsion, while their fellow Americans are suffering!!
Time to end the union hold on our ports. Automate everything and they can lose their jobs permanently. So tired of unions that can cripple the supply chain, no union should have this type of control.
I agree! I'll take their 100,000 a year job!
Well. This all stems from the people unions in america where meant to protect. They are used to the government doing things for them. But now their entitlement is coming at a time of inflation. We are all hurting but they don't want to hurt. So they would rather hurt us all. The same pattern. Hurt everybody for the sake of one group.....America has....not....changed. ....

Build a port in Mexico, then railroad the goods in. Problem solved
i think they do
Cartel 💀
Mexico is a failed state. And the government would be in control of the port. Do you want corrupt Mexican officials scanning containers bound for the US?
I worked at LB port for a bit. I took down vin numbers on new cars arriving. Worked 4 hours got paid for eight. My friend works there now. He sits in the back of a flat bed and lays cone patterns for the trucks. It’s physical work to do that. He makes well over 200k for being a laborer. Again, working 8-10 hours and getting paid for 16 with ot. Crane operators make bank. My other friend works in an office and loads ships via computer (by container weight) to make sure the ship is balanced. He brings a six pack to work. It’s a tough area, the people are tough and most of the new jobs are passed down to family members (nepotism). Wish I stayed at the port. BTW, best benefit package I have ever seen…along the lines of what Congress gets. Probably worth over 100k alone.
here in jersey i know a couple of longshoremen myself. your correct, you are not getting one of those jobs unless your family, good friend or connected
Gee no wonder most unions are mobbed up.
I really thought extortion was illegal. The magnatude of the demands will absolutely make full automation a much more financially attractive option. They're shooting themselves in the foot.
So you would just let a robot take your job.
@@jamespoledna2693
I definitely would not make that option more attractive.

Some jobs are better done with automation. Mars exploration for example.

77% pay increase crazy
You’re crazy not to believe when billionaires get 56 billion dollars in bonuses. This is why you’re not a billionaire and mentally broke
Again ceo salaries raise way more yet you think that is crazy for a dock worker. You are a clown shoes
@@qroadside wtf are u talking about
it's over 6 years so around 12% and 4-6% inflation eats away at it even further. The mainstream media love quoting the pay increase for shock value but never say it's over a long period of time.
@@qroadside 😆🤡I guess you would know
Fire them all and let the 20-30 million immigrants take all the non union jobs at minimum wage. They let them in, now it’s time make them work for their meals and/or housing rather than receiving a handout. The shipping workforce is only going to drive up the cost and pass it on to us because they can’t even negotiate with a reasonable rate that was offered.
That's the agenda.
Absolutely not!
Do it. All these union Democrat voters basically voted to allow these people into our country.
Best idea yet
Just automate it like Scandinavian countries
Taft-Hartley won't do anything. Workers will just report back to work but not actually work for 90 days. It would make things worse.
No, because taft Hartley allows the president to fire the employees for doing such. Same was done with the ATC when they went on strike. Fired all of them, and hired new. No union should have this much control over critical infrastructure. All critical infrastructure should be ran only by the government.
And put the union boss in jail, he's a criminal. Biden just knows him, and likes him... that's why taft-hartley is not being invoked. That is the only reason.
Working slow has just given a highlighted idea 2 people around the United States... I just talked to some workers in Nebraska and Iowa who have decided that they are not going to keep working so extra hard everyday... A work slow down can happen across the country... Workers are sick of employers who are trying to beat them into extra hard work all day everyday instead of hiring sufficient people.
@@Joce123 companies are cutting back significantly trying to beat earnings and revenue. If you examine earning reports from several companies you can notice that all their profits are from layoffs and cost cutting measures. The people who suffer the most are the workers because they feel if they don't work hard they'll get laid off. Tough times ahead.
Just a bunch of overweight guys with pot bellies and baseball hats on backwards holding the nation hostage. Bring in the robots.
We need to get our ports automated ASAP.
Wtf
Hmm not very humanitarian. Machines should not take jobs. I agree with that part of their strike. But they make plenty of money they don't need a massive raise. I say guarantee they will not lose jobs to automation, give them a small raise, and move on. America loses daily not solving this.
@@paulbowden4842 Machines should not take jobs. That said, the dock workers are whining about how dangerous their job is. Automation addresses some of the dangers of certain jobs. There should be a balance, IMHO.
you have a very business brain. I dont agree with your sentiment on what needs to happen completely, but you'd make ungodly money if you could do that.
@@ElaineWood-f2t I like that take. The thing about it is there needs to be a diplomatic solution that appeases both sides. It doesn't seem that either side is interested in it.
Demanding the 77% WAGE INCREASE and management TRIPLING RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS ARE LUDICROUS 😅😅
He did a good job staying away from the doom and gloom scenario that's been painted. She even tried to bait him into it.
Am I the only one to think it was very cruel to have this strike in the middle of a natural disaster? I hope they all get replaced. Screw them. They have no morals
You're definitely not the only one that thinks that !!! Their leader is DISGUSTING !!!
Natural disasters happen in some part of the country during every season. There is no time when they could strike without it affecting the country.
I was amazed at the amount of money the labor boss makes yearly
1 million a yr. DISGUSTING !
Cordero is democrat to the core.
Freak them put robots and give the money to the American people

The real question is why would the exported depreciable goods like food not result in a deflation at the stores? We are only talking about inflation from the loss of imported goods, what about the deflation of exported goods?
Let them strike. Our country is sliding down deep doo doo. Sorry to say.
Why ppl keep saying they losing money!!!!! The products are not burnt or destroyed they’re just stuck at the ports until business resumes again yes we will have a shortage but the products will come the big mess will be the stores jacking up prices and thats what they wanna do anyway in my opinion its the prices whats gonna hurt in the long haul 💯💯
Elizabeth port of NJ is not on the list?
The union boss makes 900,000A year. That's fair. They probably have to pay Dues 3 months too. So sad? Give the men more
Well.. machines don't go on strike...
Not sure it matters if LB/LA ports can handle the increase in traffic. The rail in and out of the basin is at capacity and is already close to meltdown. LB trains are being held out all across the Sunset division. The ripple effect is just beginning.
West coast port diector will likely eat his words in 10 days if strike holds. California under Newsome never meets expectations. Regulations on trucking in CA has not changed.
People are getting fed up with corporate greed.
seems more are done with union greed here. i mean turning down a 50% raise when youre already making more then most smh come on this isnt socialism
Consumer greed is also at play. Look at the panic buying. Takes two to tango instead of gaslighting and salad wording.
These dock workers want a 77% raise. Even if the stoppage doesn't affect prices their raise will. Who the hell expects to more than double their salary at the expense of the American economy? Greedy people, that's who. They operate a fricken crane!!! How the hell is that worth three to four hundred thousand dollars a year? No wonder our prices are out of control.
Everytime kamala states somethings make her detestable...she has the nerve to talk about fairness!!! Pathetic
May the teamsters join and they have but there’s almost no chance Fox will report this
That’s why unions are horrendous.
As Harris would say. Thank a Union Member.
no not really.. it takes two to tango.. the ports and the managers are equally responsible
They always have been. They have been the dirtiest organizations since they started. They have threatened and put mom and pops out of business since the beginning. All over paid. I used to work trade shows in NYC when I was a youngster. They would charge 65 dollars an hour to send a person out to a booth and hook up an extension cord? Reasonably a 2 minute job. $65.
800 percent profit and the unions are horrendous?
How about less greed. The people take the biggest hit.
A lot of these products are already made in the US though lol
Didn’t know beef and pork were imported. Didn’t know bottled water or toilet paper were imported. I seriously doubt some of the fear mongering. Most of the imported crap on those ships we don’t need and children are not nearly as worried about Christmas as some may suppose. The worst is the lack of generators for the good people affected by the hurricane. Especially if they get a second one.
That guy spoke like a politician who didn’t want to upset his democratic buddies.
Our Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is already on top of this issue. All of our major ports have been affected.They do serve several states on the east coast. He is working hard to ease shipping especially to all affected by hurricane Helene.
I notice they aren't talking about the medication that people take that are on those boats. 70% of it is made in other countries.
Biden needs to step in, especially with the hurricane victims. Those port workers were offered a 50% increase over 6 years and they need to take it.
Unions need to just be abolished. There is no point of them anymore . Workers rights have changed.
He sounds like a REAL LEADER, hes actually concerned about people and how theyll be effected, he doesnt want to cripple the country
Biden says they need to negotiate. Harris picked the dockworkers side. Even biden gets it reauires negotiations on both sides. Kamala would let this strike go on for a long time.
Disappointed Americans hurting America. Keep working and make a deal at the same time.
This strike is worse than a strong armed robbery. Because it will cost us all in the end.
Beef and Pork from where?
Beef and pork raised in America packaged in China and other countries 😂
I’ll give some obvious advice, come to an agreement FAST. At the end of the day, it’s the average person who’s going to suffer from this. Companies aren’t going to lose money, they’re just going to increase prices.
Fire them all now I'm fed up with this crap
The head guy of the east port is a delusional clown. Fire him and all the greedy workers on strike. There are plenty of americans who need a job who would gladly step in and work their jobs.
Add to the renegotiated contract stop of any work should be an arrestable offense. They are should never be able to control prices or availability for our country. Just put in automation and fire these guys. Most people are lucky to even get a extra dollar in my state it's a right to work state. Meaning they can fire you for no reason. These guys make a crapload already!
Here's an idea what America start making her own crap
lol flawed logic
Heres an idea, cut govt spending and abolish unconstitutional laws abd programs.
Maria, please start calling this strike what it is so that the Biden-Harris admin can understand what it is. Price gouging!
Huh… it’s almost like we dont have enough farmers hmmm 🤔
Why don’t you ask him how he makes sure that everything moves fluidly
How many people get forced to work a 12 hour day and give up their weekends and holidays
Or is that just not important?
Most ports around the world are highly automated and while I would hate to see anyone lose their jobs but the greed of the longshoremen who turned down a 50% increase even though they already average 150K maybe it's time for American ports to do the same.
Fire them and charge them,they make to much money
Since 1977 last major strike also a bad economy Same as now Surprise
The 1977 strike was a nothing burger.
Yes, that's right. If they're not willing to settle quickly (workers and companies at the ports), then divert the volume to the west coast for the time being.
I have a suggestion, don't ask for raises that are unrealistic.
Most are lucky to get 1-3 percent. Some don't get raises.
So we’re at day three. $15 billion already anybody there Bueller, Bueller.
