Americans have been warned to stock up on food, gas, and necessary items for several weeks. Many claim massive shortages of items we use every day will occur due to a looming strike by the ILA (International Longshore Association).
On Sept. 27, US Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene warned about the ramifications of a strike in a tweet. Rep. Greene claims, “It’s very important to understand how critical this is given that America is now in a $36 billion dollar food trade deficit for the first time in our nation’s history.
Also, the Biden-Harris administration and congressional out-of-control spending have driven inflation so high that many Americans can’t afford quality of life.
I think this situation is serious and, depending on whether they strike and how long it lasts, could be a crisis going into the election, holidays, and winter.
First off, the president of the International Long Shoremen Association does not put his brother dock workers on strike, it must be voted on by all the members up and down the east coast. He was elected to serve the union membership by assuring they have safe working condition, job security, and the highest standard of living the ports can afford. Has anyone fact checked what the CEO’s of any of the ports that hire these union workers. The workers want their fair share of the profits just as baseball, football, and other professional sports player want. The longshoremen are providing a service for the American people. What is professional sports providing? Nothing but a show to watch full of commercials and drinking beer at sports bars, thus giving beer companies profit and millions for their CEO’s also. Now the dock workers have postponed the strike until at least Jan 15th 2025 so that everyone can hopefully have a good Christmas, if housing, gasoline, heating fuel, groceries, medical cost, etc, doesn’t take all the money they have earned while making many many CEO’s millionaires for companies such as walmart, ford, gm, exceleon, state farm, gillis and guilkerson, tom ruark, etc. Our standard of living is slowing be reduced by all the illegals being released in our country that will work for non-livable wages. Unions were formed well over 100 years ago to provide a comfortable life for it’s membership. If you look at the big picture, that is what the longshoreman’s president has been hired to do. Also the they have been providing a service for over forty years without striking. I am a union member and Trump supporter.
