The International Longshoremen’s Association’s 6-year contract with the East Coast and Gulf Coast ports will expire on Sept. 30 at midnight unless there’s an agreement before that deadline.
After the Railworkers strike, I’ve read that the Biden administration actually got the owners to make concessions to the railworkers, though it didn’t seem to receive any press at the time, other than when railworkers had to go back to work.
Yeah that is true, but it was significantly less than the rail workers were asking for. Still a fucking sham to obviate the union’s biggest pressure point for management.
Plus you had tons of media on the side of the company and consumers, instead of the workers. There is never enough media centering the workers, their material concerns and demands, and what they are sacrificing.
