You betta thank a union memba!

the mob has been involved with longshoremen for decades.

Don’t be surprised if this isn’t a sit-up so Kameltoe can swoop in st the last minute and take credit for fixing it.

I’m thinking this ^^ also. There hasn’t been any fret or worry from the DNC on the issue that everyone’s knows would be blamed on this administration, including Kamala. That alone tells me, the fix is in.

Ok but the thread is titled "mob port war..."

I guess I was expecting the mob to play a part in this story... what is that part if any?

I'm sure the price of tater tots will double again because of this

Thats kind of dramatic and I don't think they can have the same kind of hold on them that they used to.

Lucky Luciano was convicted and sentenced to 30 years and was in prison when WW2 broke out.
The govt went to the docks to get help with shipping but they would not cooperate. So the feds went to Luciano who had controlled the docks and made a deal with him. He got out, got paid and the dock workers started cooperating.

Lucky spent the rest of his life in Italy living off the money he made during WW2.

Daily Mail reporting they are wanting an 80% increase in pay

They probably want to work from home like everyone else.

Good one!

They want big pay so they can make over $300k a year with overtime. They also want the docks to remain the way they are so that their jobs remain. In other words they want to increase the cost of shipping for no other reason than for them to make more money without doing anything more.

Unions have too much power in the US. That they can argue to not use technology should be a crime.

Question out of idle curiosity . . . can an honest man be a longshoreman?

Last I heard they aren't negotiating and haven't for many many months.

I wonder how much stuff being shipped to these port could be used or is needed in the area's where the hurricane and flooding just hit?
