So the longshoremen are about to go on strike on the East and Gulf coasts.

Damn dude I used to know said he got laid off behind this

 

[Rekkapryde]

automation reduces jobs and benefits those who are already rich.

everytime these companies get in a bind, they reduce head count to satisfy rich investors.

to the longshoremen. Get that bread and fukk all of this automation and AI push. It primarily benefits the 1%'s pockets

 

[jaydawg08]

i'm supposed to feel bad for these dudes? what the fukk?

they AVERAGE 200k a year, plus another 100k worth of benefits and pension?

i don't think the public is gonna side with them

They will when it starts to hurt the American people directly. There’s a lot careers out there that directly influence life in America and you would never know until it’s a threat to halt

An example is my job as an Air Traffic Controller. It’s illegal for us to strike so I’m not advocating it, but there was a government shutdown couple years ago and people were wondering what was gonna be the straw to finally bring it to the table.. eventually a handful of controllers in a few areas in DC and Jacksonville centers called in sick and there were massive delays and it was all over the news. Few hours after that the government came to the table and said they’d agree to something

Certain careers have power and flex their muscle and you’ll see why they get paid what they do.

Lmao. They rejected a 50% pay increase. What a joke.

Isn't the union head friends with Trump? How much you want to bet if he gets elected, he magically settles for something lower than his demands.

 

[pickles]

Good for them.

bytches can't their get stanley cups or whatever useless shyt from China.
People got way too much shyt they don't need in this country.

If some CEO fukk wanted a 50% pay raise, no one would blink an eye.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Was talking to my boy who's a longshoreman back home in Charleston SC. He chillin at the crib. He got his hours for the year secured months ago. He gucci until the strike is over.

These guys turned down a 50% raise

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Just saw the post about old boy hanging with Trump

Shenanigans

no that was an old photo, the union has not pledged support for trump or kamala yet but local chapters are rallying behind kamala. In 2020 they supported Biden.

Crazy how much folks hated this season, yet here we are

You don’t have a heart if you weren’t rooting for Sobotka and local 47 and Local 1514.

 

[maxamusa]

Damn dude I used to know said he got laid off behind this

elaborate.

 

[Max Power]

And people didn't appreciate the message of Season 2

Outstanding season, same level as 1,3 and 4.

Basically there are fighting against automation. A lot of the newer ports being made are automated. Not in the US of course, but mainly in Asia.

Im usually pro-technology but im not sure what other industries these guys can pivot to if automation were to happen, given thier skillset

 

[chineebai]

it’s not like they’re struggling financially and they were offered a 50% raise along with massive health and retirement benefits. They’re being greedy as fukk with this whole automation thing, literally holding an economy hostage.
