looks like they extended the contract to Jan 15.

Hard to skim a robot’s Christmas bonus

Publicity making the union idiot's look bad, can't have that! They keep thinking they have the support of the American worker cause like all entitled idiot's if it wasn't for them the average non union worker would be working in the salt mines for a cup of rice a day!

So after the Holiday's we all get to go through this stupid bs again?

Biden / Harris bunch told em to shut up and sit down. Was making them look bad going into an election. Can't help them after election if they don't win.

I agree.

I wouldn't be surprised if Daggett was told to stand down and told to take a short-term settlement now vs. dragging the strike out while the Dems were trying to win the White House. I doubt a prolonged strike would do any favors to Kamala and Tim's chances of winning the election.

Exactly. Democrats can't take the chance of this strike making them look bad with an election coming, so they told the union to shut up and go back to work for now. The union being loyal, did as told.

the folks with carts loaded with soda pop and tp I saw at the store today did not get the news in time...

what a bunch of losers.

They just settled for a 62% pay increase.

Interesting date.

Post election if a D win then the pressure to give the union everything. If an R win then the union can create a mess to kick off the expected trouble.

I, for one, don't want to see the military doing everyday jobs...I fear that's a can of worms we don't want to open.

I'm not a dock worker but look at the jobs technology has taken away. Ask the 10 cashiers that got laid off from your local Lowe's, Menard's, Walmart etc. because of self checkout. Ask the fast food restaurant workers about automated drive thru workers. It goes on but I'm to tired to type. Eventually they'll be two classes of Americans. The rich business owners and the poor who's jobs they work will be below poverty level because it's not profitable for technology to take it over. There will still be trade jobs but what technology is leading to is a socialist country.

So 10% per year pay raise for next 6 years. Guess SS recipients and expect same? Oh wait.........never mind.

I don't want that either. But when someone is holding the country hostage, it is time for the military to get involved.

Getting ready to bug out

I'm not going back to look. My point is you sound and act like the left. Charge someone and no conviction and yep guilty. O an x mob guy said he worked for the mob. Wonder what he got to do so? I'm sure a mob guy is stand up and honest! The mob takes care of rats. Don't meant it's related.

Inicent tell guilty used to be a thing in America. is he guilty of what they say I don't know probably. But in our country it has to be proven in court.

Quit acting like a democrat and jumping on the band wagon. I'm sure you don't like the bs they are doing with Trump. Make claims spend years harassing him and the media reporting is like its facts and the Left running with it.

It works both ways not just when it's your guy.

Seems obvious to me. Big D, supporter of the criminal gang's known as international unions, could not allow this strike to continue in an election year. It would be nice to know what was going on behind closed doors.

Big D is now saying no money for hurricane relief. Plenty for illegals and Ukrainians though.

Its not good.
