US Dockworkers Set to Strike Tomorrow; Biden Refuses to Intervene

If you think food is expensive now, wait until the cities experience shortages.

Dockworkers represented by the International Longshoremen's Association are set to strike at midnight Tuesday, demanding a 77% wage increase after stalled negotiations with port employers. The strike threatens to disrupt U.S. trade, with major retailers like Walmart and Target warning of price increases and supply shortages.

Key Details:

The strike is set to begin Tuesday night into Wednesday, with dockworkers halting trade at ports from Maine to Texas.

Workers, represented by the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA), are demanding a 77% wage increase over six years, frustrated by the skyrocketing profits of ocean carriers during the pandemic.

President Biden has stated he will not intervene using the Taft-Hartley Act, despite concerns from major retailers about the economic fallout.

Why isn't Kamala negotiating personally? She says she can fix all of the failures of the past three and a half years.

Meanwhile, Commerce Secretary Raimondo, last seen calling for the "elimination" of Trump, says she has no f***s to give about the impending disruption of supply lines.

Bonus: CNBC host demolishes Raimondo, who claimed that Trump had a bad economy, and we have no idea what kind of "wildcard" he would be as president.

The Democrat-Media Party isn't sending their best.
