I wish someone would play the tape of Obama telling people to learn to code when he was shipping jobs overseas.

Union workers pay is never stagnant. Maybe it hasn't kept up with inflation, but whose pay has lately?
You sound like my liberal professors back in college who have no economic or real world experience. CEO's and owners just can't pay for these raises out of their own pockets. On the low end what the unions ore asking for will cost $2,500,000,000 per year. Plus they are trying to stop the companies from automating, which will have huge cost implications for the future. The costs will get passed on to the consumer just like always.

Isn't Harold Daggett, the union boss, a big Trump fan? A disruption in trade right now might hurt the economy and help Trump. Wouldn't it?

Maybe. They'd just turn around and ban all drilling.

History has shown us humans always have a tipping point. We are reaching that point now. "Let them eat cake" didn't work out to well for the ruling class

Just look up videos on YouTube of Chinese automated ports. They're at least two decades ahead of us. It's impressive how they run them (you don't have to like the CCP to see how well those ports are run).

Sorry pal, you're not in an acceptable industry in the eyes of the dims. You're to work hard everyday while being attacked for what you do and smile and take it if it is ever shutdown.

I bet those guys don't make 200K a year.

Unions are trash and no longer are necessary. Unions have become "cash cows" and is the main reason industry leaves America for other countries.

Please do not worry. Harris and Walz to the rescue with the American Bidet Subsidy for all Americans earning under 65k annually.

The economy doesn't work that way. There is no tipping point here, every single imported good will be affected, which will affect non-imported goods as well. It won't be significant enough to cause a drastic change in spending habits, but it will affect peoples wallets, especially lower income people.

Another thing my liberal professor would say.

I am an automation professional, and I want a guarantee that they will pay people like me a shite ton of money to put every one of these greedy assholes on the streets. Especially that bald headed loudmouthed piece of shite.

Did it take people this long to realize that Unions are pretty much useless in modern times of labor regulations? And that they often increase prices and rarely seek efficiency and productivity?

Sounds like the longshoremen need to become CEOs or go find a job where they are happy.

Yeah - and there is a lot of B.S. being spilled about this. Longshoreman on the East Coast start at $20 an hour - which is absurd. They top out at $39 after 6 years. if a longshoreman is making $200,000 a year he is working ridiculous overtime and has no life outside work.
Meanwhile, as you say, these fat cat CEOs preaching to us about a global economy are making tens and hundreds of millions.
