I bet most of the guys are on here at work.
I'm a county worker. I don't work in the first place.
Hoarding has already begun. Can't find TP locally 🙄
They're the ones who think only a 2 party system will save America. And that the other party is evil even though the two parties are the same but different color and name.

As a guy whose been in the private side of trades, and who has and still owns a business, unions and non unions are both great, both have trash. From what I can tell, the big wigs with the union and strike are more worried about their egos then anything else.

One thing I dislike about union uppers (not the workers) is the fact of their need for power and control. They're as bad as a politician, and only politicians are good as a wind chime in a tree.

That obnoxious union boss with the gold chains I keep seeing/hearing sure isnt helping their cause.
I know it's the Post but it's showing the sentiment for this guy isn't strong and a bad look. I honestly hope the guys get a reasonable deal and this guy doesn't sink it.

I read "port strike" and my first though is 'shit somebody blew up a port'.

I mean, I've been trying to live under a rock, but an act of war should still come up on my radar.

I forget what a privileged and spoiled world we live it.

unions will literally cripple the US economy to get what they want. Not sure who to be pissed at. Avg long shoreman makes $81k a year. The loud mouth on TV representing the unions is filthy rich and attempts to portray himself as Tampon Tim.

‘disregard for common folk’??? That might be the most communist thing I’ve heard in a while. If you want a $500M Christmas bonus - go be a CEO.
500 million dollar bonus?! The disregard for common folk is just getting completely out of hand. You only get a bonus of that size and proportion if you've been compromised and have cut some throats here and there along the way. Makes you wonder.

Not many want the anxiety, pressure and 24/7 workaholic mentality of a CEO, they just want the money. Nothing more than covetousness, it rears its ugly head in many ways.

I've yet to see any credible sources for that $500 million bonus. If you look up his salary, public info since its a publicly traded company it shows the CEO of MSC made approx $5mil last year......
