I'm all for treating your workers the right way, but if you're going to disrupt the entire supply chain and affect millions of innocent people because you want to be treated better, then I have no respect for you. Strikes are alright if they don't harm people who are unrelated to the corporations.
Port strike looks like it's happening... No idea how long it will last, but it will cause supply chain disruptions. 2-week strike, according to my friend who works in the industry, would take until next year to clear out.

Covid inflation stole a lot from peoples wages. Literally like these people got 50 percent pay reductions by continuing to get paid the same. They want higher wages, I can not blame them. I agree that disrupting the supply chain sucks but also the people in charge could of offered better terms and never got to this point. Fiat standard problems.
Surely they can find better ways than to hold up the entire system, though.
Defrauding workers of their wages is a sin that cries out to heaven for vengeance. I don't blame the dock workers for doing what they need to do to provide for themselves and their families.
