Показать описание
#Dockworkers walked out of every major port on the #US East and Gulf coasts for the first time in nearly 50 years, staging a #strike that could ripple across the world’s largest #economy -- Dani Burger has more on what the two sides are looking for. #shipping #labor #union

The 36 affected ports have the combined capacity to handle as much as half of all US trade volumes, and the closures immediately halt container operations and auto shipments. Energy supplies and bulk cargo won’t be directly affected. Some exceptions will be made to allow for the movement of military goods and cruise ships.

You can’t stop progress. Automation is progress. It is the future and you can’t stop it. Take the money for now and look for another job.

“We’re going to use automation to replace the jobs that you do!”
Dock workers: “We are going to stop working until our demands are met!”
I think I see a problem with this situation.
