International Longshoremen’s Association President Harold Daggett pushed up against worries on the impacts his labour government’s switch strike could have on the U. S. market, claiming people “never gave a s*** about us” until the attack started.
ILA people began a strike at evening after the coalition was unable to accomplish a new agreement with the US Maritime Alliance, which had an impact on 36 docks along the East and Gulf coasts. When asked if he was concerned about the potential shortages that the attack might reason, Daggett responded that those folks are” starting to realize who the stevedores are”.
” People always gave a s*** about us until now, when they suddenly realize that the ring is being burst now”, Daggett said in a category aired on Fox News’s America’s Newsroom. ” Cars wo n’t come in, food wo n’t come in, clothing wo n’t come in. You are aware of how many people rely on our careers? Half the world. And it’s time for them and Washington to set so much strain on them to take care of us because they have been around for 135 years and have no desire to share.
Before the attack began, Daggett claimed that businesses made the most money during the COVID-19 epidemic and that he wants” a piece of that for my people.” He added that he and his own port workers “kept them going” during the pandemic and that he wants to be” compensated” for that.
When asked how the supply chain might be impacted by the attack, Daggett predicted that every harbor “from Maine to Texas” do shut down. When that happens, he explained that many companies may locked down, threatening to” ruin” his detractors until a suitable deal is reached.
” I will ruin you, and you have no idea what that means”, Daggett said. ” Nothing does”.
