What to know about looming U.S. port strike

About 45,000 dockworkers at ports across the U.S. are poised to go on strike as they demand significantly higher wages and job protections from automation. Peter S. Goodman, global economic correspondent for The New York Times, joined CBS News to discuss the impending work stoppage.

No deal has been reached, they haven't talked since June, it's going to happen.

The value of labor should rise with the value of the company.

[RANON]

If we have more made in America products then we don't have to worry about imports....duh

[christopherpiedra]

Why can they strike but railroad workers are forbidden

[jaym]

Sooo, the mail-in bride will be delayed?

[eddiekulp]

77 % raise over 6 years is asking a lot . We all wish we got that. I'm getting 2.5 increase next year

[MrBaumGeo]

So they don't want to pay the union? And then, they want people to panic buy because it increases profit. Amazing!

[limestonecowboy]

These unions are an absolute joke..77% increase in wages. No automation. Worse than the horrible UAW.

Free Market Capitalism
If the workers are so important to society, Pay them appropriately

Where's kamel, like the border, inflation, Ohio train derailment, etc.😂😂😂😂

Automation will be the deal breaker in this negotiation. 77% raise I want my salary is like that lol.

I work in supply planning and have quite a few containers that will be held up by this, I’m not complaining, I’m underpaid, what do I care if my company loses out on some sales, oh no, no record profits this GOOD. I hope they strike as long as it takes to be compensated for the important work they do, we need these

[starsfromheaven]

Thanks for explaining in detail the shipping problem and the realistic ramifications regarding it!

[Jenda-lddj]

Local 171 here. We were advised this morning that there won't be a strike.

[XDawesomeness]

There’s no fighting automation. It’s not about if it’s right or wrong, it’s inevitable

[mimibaker]

Power to the people! Support Workers! Minimum wage = $50/hr. Corporations suck.

These companies are making multi billions in profits. They only look out for their shareholders and ignore the people who generate their wealth. Like most of these companies, they will cut labor cost by any means if it generates even a fraction of a percent of revenue to squeeze more profit for shareholders and to do stock buy backs. Companies need to pay people what they are worth with the profits and absolutely should suffer when they do not.

Did he say union is pro automation? Bs!!

[HandleWhat.]

Disasters going on and people need food and supplies and instead of thinking of others in need they decide to strike? Im not going to act like i have all the details but they couldnt just wait ?? Many people in need, people donaating their own supplies, etc for those suffering from these disasters and they decide to strike at this time when it can affect people the most?
