They are not forcing, they are negotiating their future wages, similar to how you do when you want a raise from your boss. They just do it collectively and bring in lawyers (that are paid for by their dues).
I feel that we are missing the point here, the dock workers aren't the bad guys here. They followed the rules set up between the employers and employees. They use a five year contract that they bargain to get, and Maersk has not even come to the table to negotiate.
The raise they are asking for isn't instant, but a series of raises spread out every year over the five year contract. At thirteen percent inflation, this doesn't seem out of bounds as it appears with a cursory look.
The big thing that gets me is the timing of this strike in relation to the election coming up in a month. That's what we should be looking into.
this is why unions are a big part of establishing communism. so that nobody is allowed to break rank, allowing strikes to be used to manipulate whole countries.
Both sides do that. Back in the late 80's I read a book called The CIA Diaries, that the author was retired CIA. He lamented about the amount of messing with Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia- using the unions, newspapers, radio, and tv stations to alter the outcomes of elections.
Do we see a correlation of what's going on today?
You're not suggesting that the CIA is some sort of free market capitalist organization, are you?
They are the spies/spooks/agitators for the communist/Illuminati criminal conspirators behind the scenes.
I agree 100%! The msm hasn't reported this issue and it's been simmering for the last year. Something about this will reflect badly to the demoncrats is my gut feeling. Has Maersk been a major money contributer to both parties? The timing is suspicious.
Do you threaten to stop work when you negotiate with your boss? Ridiculous.
Or how about the timing after a hurricane...
