What are they asking for? I’ve heard they’re wanting something like a 75% pay raise. Is that true?

Why would we be with a bunch of lazy bums who would rather watch the country burn than do the job they signed up to do

I am for the free market, however that applies in this situation.

I think they turned down a 50% raise already and they want protections against robots

Unions kinda f up free markets. I hope they figure out a way to open the ports without them and get rid of the union

They want a $5 an hour raise every year for 6 years, taking pay up from $39/hour to $69/hr.
77% raise for Covid reparations.

Raises they are asking for are 10% per year.
Obviously very high but that’s how negotiations work.

Whichever one hurts Kamala in the polls the most.

I’m not against people trying to make as much money as possible. It’s a free market after all.
What I am against is holding the economy hostage & hurting your fellow citizens by using the technically arbitrary, undeserved, politically connected power of a union to meet those goals.
My 350 cents. We left 2 cents behind several decades of political corruption ago.

I've spent most of my working life automating companies and processes, I've never had a controller or drive go on strike. I've had them get sick once or twice but never struck or asked for more money.

They want English-style featherbedding, where automation cannot cause anyone to lose their job
Which helped destroy the UK economy

A bunch of middle aged numb nuts. The Union President thinks he's Archie Bunker. Love to know the % of their rank and file that didn't graduate from high school.

Frick the ILA!
Frick Harold Daggett!
And double Frick Biden/Harris!

Definitely against their union, didn't take long to despise the union boss/CEO.
As for the workers, they had a voice. They voted against the 50% raise over 6 years with no guarantees against automation. So it is really on them... so frick them.
Replace them with scabs and Elon/Amazon technology in right-to-work states and with the national guard in closed shop states.
Let them swallow that -100% raise over 5 minutes.
