And they had the sense to strike shortly before a close election to get a quick payoff. Notice how the negotiations are set to restart in January, that will be fun.
The disconnect that some union members have in their support for the decidedly anti-Union GOP candidate is among the more remarkable things in this election cycle. Maybe it’s mostly anecdotal?
The whole premise of globalization is that the benefits will help all consumers, and the proceeds will be invested in those who are affected by outsourcing. Republicans killed that last part. And their victims blame us.
Y’all need to see “Civil War” if you haven’t. The more Trump talks like a dictator, about the enemy within, the more he gains on Harris.
Do we really want our kids to fight another civil war? Putin’s winning the dam lottery…
That’s more money, to fewer workers. The strike was not about wages, it was about losing jobs to automation. A pretty old problem. How to balance is the actual issue.
In market economics, price most accurately reflects real value when the seller and the buyer are on an equal footing. So if you sell your house under duress, or because you need to raise cash fast, the selling price doesn’t really reflect the market value.
By the same token, unions balance the power differential between employer and employee somewhat. So the higher wages arrived at through collective bargaining are a better reflection of the employee’s actual worth.

Stantis doesn’t like it when unions get wage increases.
Something else in common with magats.

If your wages rise 62 percent, then maybe, they were way too low to begin with.

Another good reason to manufacture and buy locally. And, DJT can’t impose outragous tariffs.

The Longshoremans 62% pay raise is over 6 years. The way Stantis wrote this toon makes it seem like they got the 62% pay raise right away
