So I can now make $200k/ year and up to $300k with overtime, if I learn to drive a forklift and move to a beach near a port???

Dude, they are working under conditional terms of a 62% pay increase for the next 90 days while they finalize the deal….

You misspelled "just in time to not drag down the incumbent party"

They figure Jan 15 is enough time for the public to forget and for them to pay off and get rid of that numb nuts Union President. This was as big a miscalculation as the Bud Light advertising campaign.


Exactly

I have seen on Twitter,Trump was the one who made the deal. He got it suspended until January 15th.

If true MSM will NOT report that.

They reached a tentative agreement. American workers get to go back to work, ports open, and shipments arrive. Now lawyers sit and workout verbiage. I doubt either side really wants to screw it up by backing out.

I texted a guy I know who is a labor(or sometimes forklift driver) here at the Nola docks. Prior criminal and overall dumbass.

This was four days ago when I asked him if they were going on strike. He said yes they were and it was going to be great. They knew they would get a lot more money as well as getting a lot of work in the short term to clear up the backlog.
