In the interest of full publication, I once belonged to the Teamster’s Union. It was required for my position at a hardwood yard, mainly as a truck driver. Although I suppose there were more benefits for the guys who worked it for a long time than the few times I was employed there, I always learned about the benefits of being in a coalition. I just have to be aware that I made my monthly dues, and that is how much of it was.

In addition to hurricanes and other issues plaguing the nation, the International Longshoremen’s Association is striking, which may take one’s lifestyle to a grinding halt in a few weeks. We are hearing rumors about Costco organizing expeditions that will make the COVID stress look like a playground slap-fight in my area of the woods, despite what you may not understand. However, rumor mills have quite a reputation.
As Matt pointed out, Kamla Harris is supporting the coalition. Acting U.S. Labor Secretary Julie Su came out yesterday in strong aid of the squabbling stevedores, according to The Daily Wire:
Su praised port staff for putting” their health and safety on the line to keep working through the pandemic” and criticized port users for refusing to “put an offer on the table that reflects staff ‘ devotion and achievements to their company’s income” as” their CEOs bring in millions of dollars in compensation per month.”
 ,” The British economy has defied all objectives thanks to the Biden-Harris government’s leadership”, Su said. There is space for both businesses and their employees to grow. These enormous shipping magnates must first acknowledge that their employees should be a part of the parties ‘ economic recovery. This must start with these big shipping magnates acknowledging this.
Putting off Su’s research fiction-like view of the market, some Americans may be happy that stevedores are looking for better pay and ways to prevent their jobs from becoming automated. That, of course, will probably only last until the business shelves are clear. Sympathy, like many other points, might be in short supply.

One man who will not feeling the pinch is the government’s leader, Harold Daggett. The New York Post got a look at his 7, 136 square-foot Sparta, N. J., palace. The house reportedly boasts a lake, a included table, a pizza oven, a free-standing bath, a guest house, and a five-car door. According to the article, Daggett had a Bentley parked around. It occupies ten acres of land. According to a salesperson, Daggett listed the property for$ 3.1 million in 2004. After that, he reduced it to$ 2.9 million before removing it from the business.
The Post reported that Daggett has an annual salary of$ 728, 000 and rakes in$ 173, 000 a year from ILA-Local 1804-1. The report said that as the hit loomed, Daggett commented:
In an interview last month, it became clear that the union and the United States Maritime Alliance ( USMX), the organization negotiating for the ports, would not be able to agree on a new contract.” They’re gonna be like this,” Daggett said, grabbing his neck in a choking gesture.
 ,” I’ll ruin you. You wo n’t understand what I mean when I cripple you. Anyone does”, he said.
 ,” I do n’t have a f***ing crystal ball between my legs, but it will last very long, I would tell you that”, he told The Wall Street Journal.
This is from a man who lives in a castle, perhaps drives a Bentley, and pulls down a great$ 901, 000 a year. If the attack does past, Daggett is in no danger of running out of anything, for that matter, neither is Julie Su. On the other hand, the British people will definitely feel the gut punch in a worst-case incident.

While we’re thinking about it, do any of the members of the International Longshoremen’s Association individual houses and travel Bentleys? Do any of them have a salary of close to$ 901, 000? I doubt it, and I do n’t think anyone reading this enjoys that kind of lifestyle, either.
What will happen to those who are struggling in the wake of Helene, or anyone else for that matter, if Daggett’s threats are implemented, and how will those issues not resolve themselves quickly?
It’s difficult to find love when a man who lives as big as Daggett threatens to end the world’s economy for everyone else, despite Americans ‘ disapproval of anyone who is on the poverty line or who loses their income.
