Members of the International Longshoremen’s Association, which represents 45,000 dockworkers at East Coast and Gulf Coast ports, began picketing early Tuesday...ILA President Harold Daggett has a long history with DonOLD Trump and visited him in late November 2023 at Mar-a-Lago.
“We had a wonderful, productive 90-minute meeting where I expressed to President Trump the threat of automation to American workers,” said ILA President Harold Daggett. “President Trump promised to support the ILA in its opposition to automated terminals in the U.S. Mr. Trump also listened to my concerns about Federal “Right To Work” laws which undermines unions and their ability to represent and fight for its membership.”"President Trump promised"?
Umm, first of all, he isn't president anymore. Joe Biden is president. Second, a Trump promise is about as rock solid as a fart in the wind. And if Daggett thinks Trump is on the union's side with respect to "Right To Work" laws then he's a moron.
Anyway, interesting timing especially since Daggett has said his strike could “cripple” the U.S. economy: “I will cripple you and you have no idea what that means. Nobody does.”
