The Longshoremen union strike is now over after a tentative agreement was made on wages.
They could be striking again in January since they’ve only extended their current contract until mid January:
CNBC – A major union for U.S. dockworkers and the United States Maritime Alliance agreed on Thursday to a tentative deal on wages and have extended their existing contract through Jan. 15 to provide time to negotiate a new contract.
The move ends a strike that had snarled East Coast and Gulf Coast ports since the beginning of the week and threatened U.S. supply of fruits, automobiles, and other goods.
“The International Longshoremen’s Association and the United States Maritime Alliance, Ltd. have reached a tentative agreement on wages and have agreed to extend the Master Contract until January 15, 2025 to return to the bargaining table to negotiate all other outstanding issues,” The International Longshoremen’s Association and the United States Maritime Alliance said in a joint statement.
I was hoping this would go on a little longer since it would have likely helped Trump win, with prices going up and supply going down.
That’s the last thing Kamala would have wanted ahead of the election.
And if I had to guess, that probably factored in on this to some small degree.
Now Richy Rich can go back to his ritzy home and wait to shake them down again in a few months.
