East Coast ports face midnight strike threat

The previous administration was voted out because of how poorly it turned out. In fact, some of the officials of that administration resigned and went on to support Harris.

Every job that CAN be automated WILL eventually get there, your internet complaints won’t stop it. If you do the type of job that can be done by a robot then it’s time to get an education or do something a robot can’t.

2:18 Their information is wrong, we want to go to $54/hr now and in 6 years $69/Hr which is what we are fine with. It's the same deal as the west coast. USMX offered $46/hr which is less compared to the west coast. Our ports on the East coast are much faster than the west coast and the west coast has a fully automated port.

[@dozersdady]

77% increase over 6 years is unrealistic

[@YourAverageExJunkie]

[@atlantistruck]

Is your cost of living the same as west coast? That’s like Mexico and china asking same pay as you guys. The cost of living is different for each region. You want to be fast than west coast then you have to allow automation

[@gbuilds2667]

@@atlantistruckcould look at the cost of living by researching and you would have answered your own question. Also west coast didn’t just put people out of jobs, that research is also free.

[@atlantistruck]

@@gbuilds2667 if longshoreman wants equal pay as the west coast then why not have automation like the west coast as well to speed up some of the handling containers? Some automation is okay you don’t get how crazy the lines going in the ports get sometimes. Just having automated gates will relieve some of the congestion of having trucks waiting outside the ports.

[@danieldelacruz7305]

Honestly $54 per hour is a great deal they should take it like come on $69 is too exaggerated

[@Ragnar009]

It's over 6 years, so I'm not sure how great it is. They have all of the leverage, why accept half of what you're asking for? But I think they will be more willing to compromise pay as long as they eliminate automation.

[@sir1junior]

No they have the information messed up, we want the $54, the USMX offered us less than that and the $54 is exactly what the West coast gets.
