$10k for a toilet. LOL. Was it gold?
Haven’t seen anything from the President but Harris has shown support for the striking, union workers.
Only thing I've seen is he won't invoke the Taft–Hartley Act.
Seems odd to support either side rather than simply supporting a resolution.
No idea if this is accurate or not, but I read someplace the one of the impediments to this is that many of these jobs are basically hereditary. So a buy out means that you kid doesn't get this incredibly sweet gig.I get why these guys would be opposed to automation. Better accuracy, more efficiency, less danger. Wait a second......!
When Rotterdam went to almost full automation, the dock workers were given massive buy outs. Sounds like a good plan to me, give them a bunch of money to learn another trade
What do expect from an olympic gymnast
Yes, jobs being passed down through families definitely occurs, on Oahu at least.No idea if this is accurate or not, but I read someplace the one of the impediments to this is that many of these jobs are basically hereditary.

Again, I don't know if that is true, but it does seem highly plausible based on the occupation.
But yeah, a buy-out would be reasonable IMO. (Edit: Also, these jobs aren't going to exist in another generation regardless. The union might be able to impede automation for a little while, but there's no stopping progress.)
:laughing reaction:
Its gonna be a great Halloween!
Yay toilet paper!
Yeah. I can’t imagine they put themselves in this position again.
For that price the water in the bowl better be potable.
Fixed
There is no shortage.
If you're for the workers then you should want them to ask for training on the newer technology that is positioned to replace their jobs rather than demanding more money for an already overpaid and antiquated position that currently only slow down our outdated ports.
The Upstate of SC would like a word
You know what's fun about being over 50? You can see your organization making dumb decisions, and just not worry about it.
As would my local Costco.
Or you live in the backyard of the worst hurricane devastation since Katrina. I don't begrudge where our supplies are going (or at least I hope they are going) but the rest of you out there that are out, yea go find you some hoarders and kick them square in the *****.
I mean, TP is produced in the USA or imported from Canada. Nothing comes from the eastern ports so any shortage is not due to this strike, but rather due to blistering ignorance. So...checks out?
There are also just a lot of folks taking supplies from the Charlotte area to Western NC right now as it is the easiest large metro to get to. I expect quite the influx of displaced folks locally.
I would sure hope so
Why would the news be more cautious? This is a win-win for them. The media spurs a panic, then gets to report on the panic and its aftermath.
goes to show that regular people have no clue how this strike will effect them.
