It's a protest. I have family part of the protest. The workers have been negotiating for months to change shit and the union heads have been dragging their feet. The level 3 workers (all people trained to move containers) called out of work to shut the port down. It's a protest over union disputes.
Thanks for the inside info.
I always chime in when the port gets mentioned... Like Biden saying he ordered the port to stay open all night through the holidays... They're always working all night. You think the busiest port on the planet gets closed because the sun goes down?
That's when I would have called out sick, just to FJB (kek)
Thanks for the info, pede
i remember Long Beach was backed up about a year ago. Nothing was being unloaded. At the time, I think CA was trying to shut down independent truckers. Then the story got memory-holed.
Well the port always backs up during holidays, especially after Chinese new year, before Christmas, etc...
The port itself was operating fine, but there was a massive trucker shortage. The truckers who take cans off the dock aren't Longshoremen, nor do they work for the port.
If I recall correctly, you're correct that the truck shortage was because CA was shutting down independant truckers with new arbitrary legislation regarding emissions.
Biden "ordering the port to stay open" was pure propaganda to garner praise from the ignorant masses who want to believe he's out there making important decisions and actually doing something useful. He wasn't and still isn't.
