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

The correlation is non-existent

Americans really are dumb. Pick up any solid history book and you'll know how fukked we'd be without unions

I believe a good portion of Americans would have made excellent serfs. They would have readily bought into the ideas that nobility were their betters. I can see @the cac mamba bowing and scraping talking about “Me lord” this “Me Lady” that.

Leader gets his members a 62% pay raise in 3 days, he deserves his 900k a year salary

Some of these bootlickers bosses wouldn’t fight to give em a 6% raise

Why do you have this kind of hostility for the workers asking for a bigger piece of what their industry generates?

The shipping magnates ain’t starving.

the auto industry and tons of others made it clear the writing is on the wall

automation is coming - and the solution is for the workforce to modernize with it. a lot of people are romanticizing some "stick it to the billionaires' angle and like.. okay but none of what happened this week actually 'solved' the larger issue that's still marching along. if anything holding the country at financial gunpoint just accelerated the process too.

a lot of people in here had their bets hedged either way low key so its kinda whatever. but making these guys out to be champions that can relate to other union struggles doesn't work... they are not teachers. they are not amazon warehouse folks. they are not even the railway guys. not all unions are the same. and their 'fair' isn't the same by a long shot.

It’s the way they went about it. I posted earlier in the thread but save that “I’ll cripple you” nonsense for the meetings with the rest of their industry, not aimed at folks who just lost their homes in a hurricane

That's more than well deserved for top pay. Probably deserve about an extra $10 per hour to be honest

You think that message wasn't given in the meetings? I'm not understanding why y'all are so concerned with the "optics".

A tone argument is a type of ad hominem aimed at the tone of an argument instead of its factual or logical content in order to dismiss a person's argument. Ignoring the truth or falsity of a statement, a tone argument instead focuses on the emotion with which it is expressed.

Stop being a little emotional bytch.
