That would raise average wages to about $63 an hour from $39 an hour over the life of the contract.

The union and the port operators said in a statement that they would extend their master contract until Jan. 15, 2025 to return to the bargaining table to negotiate all outstanding issues.

    Yeah I’m sorry the more I think about it the more I wish they had a stunning failure after agreeing to cross their own picket line to make sure genocide happens

    Would I support the Nazi German Dockworkers Union going on strike but continuing to transport Zyklon B? No, I’d hope their strike gets ruthlessly crushed and half the dockworkers shot.

    I’m trying to feel slightly less harshly about this but I really struggle to see how it’s any different from that example.

      True they should be shot so the rest of Nazi germany can function smoother than it was when they were gumming up the works, even slightly

      Don't worry, they'll be gutted on automation and the other parts that are yet to be negotiated.
