Power to the workers. God hates a scab.
It’s 20 years ago all over again?
War in the middle east and strikes galore. I keep getting older but the problems stay the same, yes they do, yes they do.
Be prepared for Vance to hammer Walz over this strike tonight. I am hoping he’s prepared for it. He probably is though.
How would Walz be more complicit than Vance? Neither are in office currently. I mean I’m sure Vance will roll all of the Biden admins decisions on top of Walz to try to make something stick.
One of their demands is stiflingly automation which I can’t get behind. That’s a stupid way to eliminate efficiency
That’s a stupid way to eliminate efficiency
In case of port/terminal automation the workers usually do not benefit. So it seems pretty understandable that they’re against it.
In Europe there’s way more automation. Still, workers often tried to prevent it.
Progress is gonna happen regardless of how much they want to slow it down
It only hurts everyone else to make that demand
Demands against automation are just as stupid as the Hollywood unions demands against AI. It’s a get on board or get run over situation.
don’t hate the player, hate the game
Well if you don’t realize in today’s world you are either useful in a way dictated by vastly wealther people or you starve. So in a world with literally zero global compassion (meaning those in power who are in charge of keeping us safe) will cast you aside for an extra buck. If automation and innovation ment the emancipation of all humans to chase their passions, yes I’m all for it. But it’s not. The change is to fire the workers to increase profits. That doesn’t help anybody.
It’ll reach a tipping point eventually
That’s what they said 100 years ago and it got a little bit better but it’s far worse than even those people would have thought. If you think those in power won’t drive everyone of a cliff to make a buck you are in for a surprise. Wealthy people are literally planning to escape earth over giving up any money or power. I’m not doom spiraling I just want more people to wake up and stand up for their fellow humans before it’s too late.
If it becomes a non fictional issue it’ll reach a tipping point
As of now as then it’s a bit of a Boogeyman. If it grows passed that things will have to change
A salary maximum (as per the article) of 79k USD per year seems low. This as the accident rate amongst longshoremen can be significantly higher than average. It’s often not reported on enough (at least in Europe) but significant injuries and deaths happen often enough. This partly because (obviously) a mistake has way more consequences on a terminal vs e.g. working in an office.
Good for them! Hope they get what they’re asking for
