He is a terrorist and should be treated as such.

He’s talking about how everything comes into the US. Sounds like we need TRUMP now more than ever to bring manufacturing home.

The longshoremen's union has been worthless and violent for decades. In New Orleans, a shipper is required to call out a crew of longshoremen even if no longshoremen are needed to load their cargo. This is a union that needs to go away.

Yes, based on everything she's accomplished thus far, this should be a piece of cake...

This sounds like a great opportunity for Mexico to hire the illegals and invest in automation of their ports.

Just giving us another reason to automate even more. Machines don't go on strike.

Today's unions basically are blackmail. Give me a or I'll do b. Longshoreman average $39 per hour which is $81K per year but, many, make over $150K when overtime is figured in. It appears they are asking for overtime rates to be the base pay. Not bad for "non-college educated", right libs?

Dude just admitted the longshoreman union is nothing more than an extortion racket.

Notice how they are still handling cruise ships? So they won't receive building material to help people in North Carolina, but they will happily put them on a cruise ship to the Bahamas. Seems military aid is still being sent to the Ukraine as well.

How long can it be before management just says "frick off union. We aren't renewing the contract, and will hire non union workers."

He would eat her alive.

Trump has dealt with them before.
