1. Most union presidents are bloviating a$$holes that haven't identified with their members economically for decades. I feel like this is common knowledge. Same with Fortune 500 CEOs.

2. Gotta love the loudest people in here advocating for full on automation are white dudes that probably don't have any issues when it comes to money.

3. The "rObOtZ...DUH" guys always get me riled up because they have no idea of the cost to go from design/development to testing and integration and maintenance of these systems. And that's assuming they didn't go with cheapest automation company. They act like the fukking Autobots are going show up out of nowhere and do this shyt out the goodness of their 3D printed metal hearts for free.
imagine rolling out a corrupt, wealthy, criminal union boss, to threaten the country right after a hurricane and before an election, and being surprised that the public doesn't react favorably :mjlol:

i'm glad they got their raise. and i don't give a fukk if they get replaced, either

Brehs in here talking about automation but never worked in an environment with automation......that shyt breaks down ALL THE TIME!!!! Companies think they save money only to be finessed with subpar designs and crappy software with trash support. On top of that software could be locked and on some proprietary system that only the manufacturer can maintain....at a minimum cost of $250hr :ufdup:

know a dude who went all-in blaming Biden and sarcastically saying “Vote Kamala” when the strike news broke and how this never occurred under Trump (duh or under most other presidents for that matter lol)

I told them blaming the sitting vice president for a wage issue that’s not 4 or 8 years in nature is silly and wouldn’t make sense to do no matter who’s in office.

I’m curious to see how the goalposts will shift for this (union worker 😂) dude after the latest news…..

:whew: Speaking the truth! The contractors will have an office 20 minutes from you but are only committed to being available on-site during these specific hours for repairs and in the case they have to go over, "the price of the brick going up."

demanding 70% raises when your industry can be automated and done better, and your union boss makes a million dollars a year, doesn't seem like a great fukking gamble. but what would i know :yeshrug:
not much apparently

62% increase



if yall stopped boot licking and did the same… longshoreman just gave americans the blueprint

This news makes me happy for them but also gets me irritated that my own union isn’t getting us massive pay raises either

Feel like this is a good wake up call for other unions in a position of power to get what you deserve $$ wise

People are trashing unions so these ultra-wealthy families can get even richer.
It lets you know how many normal people worship the wealthy in this country. They have fallen for the scheme. They hate trying to reign the wealthy in because they believe that they can become one in the future if they just put their head in the sand and don't resist.

What’s ironic is if the CEO of a company that had 30,000-50,000 workers made a million dollars a year, they would be considered under paid.

But when a union leader makes a million dollars, it’s obscene. To make matters worse, the outrage is coming from other workers.

American workers are so p*ssy.
