There is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years n another country. We are absolutely worried that SSI will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific lnvestment account with my Abby Joseph Cohen my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.
Abby Joseph Cohen Services has really set the standard for others to follow, we love her here in Canada 🇨🇦 as she has been really helpful and changed lots of life's
The very first time we tried, we invested $7000 and after a week, we received $9500. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.
@AllenDolt How can i reach this Abby Joseph Cohen, if you don't mind me asking?
@@JulioMangruWell her name is 'ABBY JOSEPH COHEN SERVICES'. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to set up an appointment.
Great share! Out of curiosity, I searched Abby Joseph Cohen Services online, found her consulting page ranked at the top, and scheduled a call session. I've read many reviews about advisors, but none seem as impressive as hers.
Sal I really appreciate what you do with your channel helping people understand how the shipping world works. Most of us have No idea and when things hit the news having accurate info help a lot.
Certainly Sal is very knowlegable on world shipping, but he talks and explains things so well !
I came here for the Francis Scott Key Bridge collision and stayed for the button-up shirt game.
button-down
It's supposedly over. Woosys caved in for money.
Never a dull moment in this world huh Sal.......
Sal, thank you for the reporting and analysis! High empathy and deep insight. THANK YOU!
The most intelligent discussion on this strike bar none!
Eric and Sal great to see you both discussing the strike and a great pitch for P44. It has been key for our business to track and trace the latest status on our cargo and P44 has been a great tool to identify risk and run different scenarios for inventory.
So informative, thanks.
Sal, Thanks so much! You put out the most valuable information.
The automation of this channel and introduction of the SalAI has paid off in spades. He's everywhere! The shirts still look a little uncanny though.. :) thanks Sal
This channel has created a huge interest in marine logistics and I believe it will continue to grow rapidly, thanks to the very enjoyable content and the enthusiastic delivery.
Good afternoon Sal. Watching from Tennessee.
I went to the grocery store today. I was wondering about bananas. They had plenty of them. But no toilet paper. What is wrong with people. Bananas are imported. Toilet paper is made in the USA. Nice shirt Sal🌴
Strike's over boys. Agreement's been made
They have bigger problems. The lack of respect they brought upon themselves from American citizens.
It’s TENTATIVE
The strike has been suspended for 90 days for negotiation. What will happen in January, when this suspension ends, is unknown.
Time enough to buy an automated mule system and tele-operated crane systems.
Thanks Sal! Very informative!
And that’s how everyone in the Bahamas got a heavy winter coat for free.
😂Could come down to that.
Well, if they're gonna ride those snowmobiles...
Hi, this video is especially helpful to small & medium size business trying to track the backlog. Great work I watch your videos and follow. Project44 guest would be helpful to truckers. Thanks for the videos.
What's worse than a port and rail strike, is the reaction and panic at the idea of shortages, which causes majority of the shortage. The publicity of this does far more damage than it does in and of itself.
Stevedore here; scheduling wise, i am already experiencing 8 day delays due to 3 days. And that is with 4-5 vessels omitting our port when we generally see 21 vessels a week.
It's rough.
WE HAAVE A DEAL!!! STRIKE IS OVER!!!
ILA ALL THE WAY
Tentative, ILA members need to ratify it. Temporary, expires in January I think?
@@tomeemersonThe ILA on the ground are celebrating. 61.5% increase over 6 years.
Current Contract is EXTENDED until 15 January, 2025 while they work out "details".
Meanwhile in Toilet Paper World, some have purchased enough to last until 2050 or so. LoL
@@blaydCA, i do not know why. Toilet tissue is not imported into the United States
Hey Sal!…Nice of you to give a shirt-shoutout to Buise Creek. Not a grad, but many ties, including my mom, Class of ‘31 (well before the various Camel teams😉). Started watching you with the Francis Scott Key crash and realized I’ve been missing out not knowing more about shipping news. Thanks so much for welcoming all😀
They have an amazing Golf course too !
Very informative. Thank you.
Your channel is so informative !
I have to give him props for recycling grandmothers kitchen curtains, from all over the world, into shirts
We Settled! Tentative agreement in place for 3 mos!
Not surprising they rushed to settle after the news covered them swarming a trashman the other day and assaulting him because he was working. Instant loss of local community support and a turn in national support.
When do the ILA members vote to ratify? I think membership needs to vote first?
@@tomeemerson We are going back to work tomorrow! Ships will be serviced! Full operation on Monday! I am talking NJ I cannot speak for others! 90 days both sides will meet and discuss the real reason, Automation and AI
@@stellabella310 i hope a robot gets your job.
@@boofert.washington2499 It wIll NEVER happen! Start hogging up the necessities! You have 90 days! No Contract, NO Work!
Cool shirt Always have great shirts.❤
Professor sal is the best.
Sal is the man!
PUERTO RICO GOT ILA WORKERS TOO.
AND THEY ARE WORKING RIGHT NOW.
💪🎩⚔🛡🌄
It's called The Jones act
Scabs?
@@pedlpower No. The real scabs are the lazy ones who won't get a better job. They are bums who threaten their bosses and are too intitled and lazy to better their own lives. They just hurt everyone else.
@@pedlpower not necessarily. Alaska and Hawaii will continue to work to some extent even if the ILWU goes on strike or is locked out, and mainland westcoast ports will load their goods as they would collapse if all shipping stopped for them . The ILWU will also work military and passenger ships during a strike or lockout. Not sure about the ILA but probably.
Probably not an isolated issue, but out local Costco (Oregon Willamette Valley) got wiped out of toilet tissue. Considering that we have a paper mill 15 miles away that manufactures TP and paper towels, I'm pretty sure those are not affected by the port strike. Thanks for the report
The fanaticism over toilet paper is something I will never understand. Humans survived for thousands of years without it, food and water is a much more pressing manner.
I ran refrigerated for 9 of my 15 years on the road. I understand the old equipment issue. On the East Coast or more densely populated area, You see outdated docks. They not only can't build new due to cost, but they can't even get the damn permit to do so.
The channel into our port and the bridge being too small was the news early this year. Savannah will have to take the smaller ships. So I will suppose that will mean there's no renovation until the state of Georgia transportation can hammer out with the city what bridge to upgrade to.
Automation will make the ILA a shrinking union.
The ILA is striking to remain relevant and even to exist. It is fighting the relentless tide of technological change.
I support 'American Workers' vs CCP Robots. However I think that Automation is inevitable. The Automation still has to be monitored by people. The ILA should be looking to make sure their members will trained and have first crack at manning those jobs and that those jobs pay a living wage. Many industries have gone through this process already.
Yea i am opposing Email, Internet
I also oppose calculators
Biro pens …. Feathered quill and ink bottle with blotter is what i want
@@prof_sceptic least enthusiast Imperium's Administratum drone.
The problem is that a shrinking union is difficult to keep alive because of retirement payments. If it shrinks too fast, retirements can't be paid, and the union ceases to exist. Auto companies learned this the hard way around 50 years ago.
@@alaricvis09 I'm confident that this is probably partly what they are working on in negotiations. The public rarely sees all the contract issues and it's easier to boil them down to an easy to remember slogan "I support American Workers over CCP Robots"
The Govt DID put both parties in a room and suddenly the strike folded . No Taft-Hartley required!
Sal - even better, others doing all the production, etc. and you free to focus on getting your information across.
⚓️ Sal ♨️ perfect timing to explain the land bridge 🎸 Railroad revenue 😳
Sal is THE BEST.
Hello how's it going? Been watching you for the evergreen grounding and have not left yet but I thank you sir for your service 4:43 service
USMX needs to propose some percentage of pay to be in the form of stock (or stock like assets). Then the ILA would be striking against themselves in the future.
The strike is over!!👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Does anyone remember when the air traffic controllers went on strike in the 1980s? Despite it being illegal for them to do so. President Reagan fired them all. I think that given the situation and the impact, every longshoremen ought to be fired just the same. And black listed too.
I am glad i am not into the gimmicks. like Sal saying all those ports, with no mention so i can give him a toast. yet, last word is Cheers Salute
I'm in food manufacturing. As of October 2, we are seeing big price increases on commodities that are already in the States. Suppliers are using this to take massive profits, acting like gasoline retailers. Inflation, anyone? Keep rocking it, Sal.
This video started with an add for logistics company about the world stopping when the wheels stop... 😂
Dr. M is the best‼️
Most distributors have been avoiding California for taxes California is the most expensive port due to state taxes
Walmart in central Louisiana shelves were wiped out of toilet paper. Paper companies made out!
Temporary agreement until mid January. Unlikely this is over. Joe just got them to agree on dumping this on the next administration. That tells me they think trump is going to win and want to saddle him with this day one.
Damn, this makes 3 WGOWS videos I watched today, and 2 were about the port strike.
Also there was a separate port strike in Montreal which apparently just ended.
So you got your request in for an interview with ''Mr.7000 sq ft luxury mansion with a Bentley Convertible parked outside also'' himself, Harold Daggett yet Sal...???
You jealous?
REDHOOK, Brooklyn dock is stack with containers. Absolutely no movement. I stand with the working man. The suits are wicked, they’ll pay these guys $22 an hour if the could.
Just in time is definitely most efficient but also the most brittle. Like Thomas Sowell says, there are no solutions only trade-offs.
Thanks Sal
I want a 75% pay increase over 6 years. I want my job to be automated.
The mob don’t look at it like that.
@@zaffo757 they're about to!
I saw on the news that the strike is over, they've come to an agreement, 66% pay raise and the ILA accepted.
Last time I checked there was over $330 million people in this country
I'm thinking there's a hell of a lot more then 45,000 who would love to have one of those jobs
SAL, DESANTIS SENDING NATIONAL GAURD TO OPEN PORTS!!
So USMX hiring replacements?
I hope so.
DeSantis is a Hero!❤
And just what will the national guard do? Those cranes used to off load containers are complex machines requiring trained and skilled workers. The national guard doesn't have the skill to operate them. Besides imports are a federal jurisdiction not state.
@@Mimi4UEyesNotBlue DeSantis is playing you. USMX isn't gonna hire scabs at just one port. That would blow up negotiations.
Sal, what do you think will happen with the announcement by Gov. Desantis that he is activating the Florida Guard to take over operations and reopen Florida harbors?
Wonder what Sal's hit rate is when it comes to submitted papers to journals and if that going up as his UA-cam channel grows?
Congratulations to the striking longshoreman for giving the companies every reason to automate. Machines don’t demand exorbitant wages for little work. Machines don’t go on strike. They don’t go on vacation or take holidays off. They don’t take long lunch breaks or cigarettes breaks. They just get the job done. So if the workers don’t want automation, they better get back to work. Because before long, they are going to be fired.
Machines don’t pay taxes, machines don’t buy the goods coming off those ships, Machines aren’t nearly as efficient as laborers and machines don’t ever give back to the community. So you believe workers don’t deserve a vacation? Or a break? What kind of slave driver are you?
That's right! I see the west coast ports and their automated mule and tele-operated cranes and am amazed.
😂😂
Is the port in Houston closed? Because I'm in Kansas and still seeing madd amounts of trains and you can tell these trailers, containers are loaded because they're going slow and have 4 engines in the front 2 or 3 in the middle and a couple on the end. Still moving containers east and west....by the a hundred at a minimum
You do realize intermodal trains aren't just to and from ports right? Salt lake has a massive intermodal yard, so does Memphis, so does ft worth... They will can domestic freight as well
Lets not forget why the West Coast ports went into the dumpster in the first place... a port strike years ago, and shippers went east and never came back. In effect, shippers created a big problem for themselves as well by not diversifying routes after the West Coast strike resolved.
Now the shoe is on the other foot, but even though the West Coast is built-up, the long period of relatively low port utilization means that the carry-away capacity would probably require at least 2 years in catch-up. Possibly longer with the transition that is underway on transportation on the West Coast. I'm guessing, though, that the West Coast can more easily adapt to increased automation precisely because volumes are under-sized.
East Coast dock workers thus have a window of opportunity here. A bit off-base though... you can't stop automation nor do you want to, it just puts businesses into bankruptcy because the rest of the world is going full-forward with automation anyway. But they should have leverage to improve pay conditions even if they can't guarantee job numbers.
-Matt
They refused a 22% pay raise.
Not to mention the long list of benefits, insurance, retirement, paid time off, etc…
Bunch of cry babies. Unions suck!
Inflation has been way over 25% since their last contract.
I wonder how often automated machinery goes on strike?
When the Chinese who made it decide to shut it off?
I wonder how often automation goes to the store to buy groceries, clothes, furniture? How often does it buy a house? How often does it pay taxes to support schools & infrastructure? As someone who installs manufacturing machinery & automation, it KILLS jobs. One automotive plant in my community had almost 8,000 employees at its peak in the 80s/90s and is around 2k now.
It just breaks down, or wears out.
@@christopherludlow3106why would you have to buy groceries if robots are growing the food? Automation is here to free us from the bourdon of labor, of you fools would wake up to it.
@@christopherludlow3106wonder how many people other than union members care that the spoiled children would have to learn to read so they can fill out an application elsewhere.
Class 1 railroads have the extra capacity, there are thousands of well cars sitting around the province of Ontario, stored, waiting for use.
I'm Longshoreman with 333 Strike ended 15 min ago
All of our inventory comes on containers. The owner of the company we get our goods from is saying we are lucky to get the next shipment by the end of October early November. That means we are going to get 4 to 5 containers all at once. I don't have the staff to cover that and we are already running low on SKUs.
Yep the dock workers just caused 4-5 weeks of backlog and probably cost some people their jobs. Because "some pigs are more equal"...
@@terpsurfer7221 I'm an operations manager for a construction company. We can revise plans to a degree to make up for shortages, but that is quite a bit of work on the back end. Some plans simply cannot be revised due to spacing. That's going to hold up construction.
Builders may or may not be sympathetic and we may lose future contracts.
@@JB22636 so what you're telling me is what's good for the union isn't good for all workers. Funny because they like to say the opposite.
Welp, looks like they came to an agreement as of tonight. Maybe industry folks watched Sal's videos and and Mr. 44's info, and had a more visual idea of what was going to happen if this dragged on.
Now!! Think of the future, automation is inevitable, start also going to school for machine learning and coding. When you go to college for that, you are preparing for the future
At my port, 12 strikers were picnicing on the shoulder of the road. Looked more like tail gaters. This port takes in a ton of cars. Does driving cars off the ships.. then- on trucks... did that stop??
Yes of course. They are imported 😂
Diverting sounds good but if you have worked with the California ports before, you will do everything you can to avoid that mess. If you enjoy lost containers, lost units from port to rail to truck, etc California is the place for you.
They're chasing a symptom with wages.
Should ask for substantial shares of each of these companies. IMO
You know,
As an "AI" guy i can say with confidence that the only contemporary AI worthy of becoming business components are those controlled by or in supplement to human beings. We have not seen a difference in kind beyond that
The strike is over
Apparently ron desantis is sending the national guard into the ports
So the National Guard will start unloading ships?
Government interference in the market???
@@steven4315 I rather doubt that. More likely they, and state police will ensure truckers aren't blocked from moving cargo from the ports inland. The state has also waived certain fees, in order to ensure materials flow freely. It's being wrapped up in the idea this is to support Hurricane victims.
@@durgan5668 i dunno his words but im hearing local news saying the have reached an agreement they going back. I wonder if the ron announcement got them shook
@@steven4315they know how… train civilians.
its over the strike is over
Invest in port automation systems if you want to get rich. Someone will build a port with automation from the start. Before they hire labor, they will build out the current technology used elsewhere. Then they will hire labor. A fifth the number needed for current, archaic ports.
How about a list of the most vulnerable goods??
Strikes over. They just extended it to January 15
I think public sentiment caught the ILA off guard.
the head of the union just bragged that he will cripple the country ?
The plain fact is - US port container handling is the lowest thruput in the world due to union intransigence to any automation of container handling . AI is coming whether unions like it or not !
It’s over we go back to work Monday

YESSSS
THE STRIKE IS OVER🎉
TIL Is building a half billion dollar container terminal in Sparrows point Maryland now fyi
And now the strike is over.
We should get the ports automated
No refunds on TP or Water for the hoarders 😅😅😅
Great report but bear in mind that our government is not capable of handling any issues in these times. They are inept!
Strike is now over
they are already the highest paid, least efficient, slowest dock workers in the world. what more can anybody do for them?
Pay them what they want
Replace them with machines.
@@benjamindover4337 machines don't produce value.
@@LongDefiant machines dont pay taxes, but neither do they need social security
@@mbiker345 of course machines produce value. The industrial revolution was such a world changing event in human history because of the tremendous value that machines produce.
We the people for the people the working man and woman build this country working hard not the rich government we are a immigrants all our ancestors we must stand together as one stop taxing the working people so hard we want to take care of our families the contation we the people for the people we build America not me me me I I i
They don’t seem to have any necessities on the East Coast docks. You can live without bananas and new cars.
Funny, my Son just picked up bananas on the NJ side of Philly,no strike there thankfully.
I told him it might be the last bananas we see for awhile.
Shut it all down
The strike is over! There is a tentative agreement.
What? How boring. I was hoping for a little anarchy to break out
Oh boy. Sal here, too?
Strike over?
When did the income of the business owner ever effect the wages of non-skilled workers?
I just got a text message from my local ILA strike is over
The Unions are not allowing advances in container handling at US ports !
Strike is over!!
