Longshoreman Strike

Longshoreman Strike

Most Americans don't even know what a Longshoreman is or even what they do. Not a very popular topic on the socials where folks spend most of their down time. But they are going to get a crash course really soon when prices of everyday items start going up, up, up depending how long the strike lasts. And it won't be just about cars and appliances that come into the East & Gulf Cost Ports.

American personal care products companies don't make a lot of the items sold in America, they only "distribute" them. The product is actually made out of country - Latin America, Eastern Europe, India, Asia, etc. - where it's way cheaper to do so, just like the Big Pharma companies do with a lot of their products. Even if the product is made in the US it may likely be from ingredients sourced overseas for the same cost savings. And these personal products or their ingredients arrive in the US at East & Gulf Cost Ports to be off loaded by Longshoremen who are now on indefinite strike.

tl;dr: Longshoreman are on strike so your favorite personal care products won't get to store shelves.

Under trump, the unions will be GONE, so we won't have to worry about no strike. Forced labor at poverty wages is the way to go man!

tRUMP will take control of all the ports, charge big tariffs the USA citizens will pay for, disband the longshoremen group, hire immigrants for cheap labor then blame all the job loss and immigration on the libs. Just watch, gonna happen if deranged terrorist tRUMP is elected.

Doesn't matter what happens, Coporate greed will continue. Give them a raise, the consumer must pay, elect a psycho, consumer must pay. The rich keep getting richer and the workers continue to scrape by. Has nothing whatsoever to do with any politician. SIGH..........

To an extent it does and doesn't. Politicians are in bed with the rich. They get too many tax breaks. Yet if the rich start getting taxed, the consumer will pay more. You're mostly right, the under paid consumer will always be hosed. Give a poor man $100 and he will spend it because he needs to. Give a rich guy $100 and he won't spend it because he doesn't need to.
