Greed.

The Wire Season 2 has me worried about this.

No but like what's going on

The port workers want to prevent automation from taking their jobs and are demanding a 77% raise instead of the 50% raise they were offered.

45k workers at 36 ports from the international longshoremens association are striking because negotiations with the employers over wage increases and job automation broke down.

More fake money problems

But also unions are criminal rackets doing their best to make sure their workers get replaced by robots or immigrants
