LONGSHOREMAN STRIKE WILL KILL THE COUNTRY
By: Derek Varsalona
I will admit it. I am not a big union guy. I was in a union and felt they were very greedy. When this blog is posted, the Longshoreman's union will be on strike. This is going to be a major disaster for this country. It includes everything from trade to how we obtain food, clothing, and other products within America.
The cost of the strike is astronomical. It will cost the American economy and the world economy at least $1 billion a day. This is definitely going to kill the country a month before the election. I would trust President Trump's negotiation skills over Vice President Kamala Harris in this situation.
I do not want a strike. I want both sides to win out on this. But the Longshoreman's union has to stop being greedy. Their needs are important but they must think of the needs of the country also.
This strike is going to affect farming and the moving of products into supermarkets. It affects the economy at a rate of billions of dollars a day each day of the strike. I would be scared to say it but I am going to say it. It is possible that if this strike goes on for more than a month the country could head into a wait for it, its bad...depression.
I wish the Longshoreman the best of luck. Let us hope that President Biden has the negotiation skills to end this strike. President Biden calls himself a union guy. Now let us see if the union guy pays off and can end the strike. As always comments accepted.
