As Joe Biden never tires of reminding us, Democrats are the party of Big Unions (even if Teamsters rank and file support Trump). It is on behalf of unions that Democrats want to make freelance work illegal. Biden’s love of unions is so obsessive that when asked about airstrikes in Yemen, he thought of labor strikes and responded by announcing his support for collective bargaining. So no one should be surprised that his last minute replacement Kamala Harris endorses the outlandishly unreasonable dockworkers strike that is a knife to the neck of regular Americans.
Via Daily Wire:
“This strike is about fairness,” Harris said.
She followed this with predictable Marxist duckspeak castigating businesses for making a profit and then accused Trump of not being pro-union.
The dockworkers union has donated more than $1.6 million to Democrats under union president Harold Daggett, who threatened to “cripple” the economy if dockworkers did not get the contract they wanted.
The willingness to cripple America is not the only thing union and wealthy Democrat bigwigs have in common. Commiela denounced executive pay at shipping companies. Meanwhile:
Daggett made $728,000 last year as union president, plus another $173,000 as president emeritus of the New Jersey local, POLITICO reported.
The New York Post has published drone photos of his opulent home:
The hulking, two-story mansion — located on a 10-acre property in Sparta, a leafy enclave 50 miles west of New York City — encircles a spacious backyard patio with an amoeba-shaped pool.
A covered outdoor bar is situated next to what appears to be a massive, brick pizza oven.
A gate on the far side of the patio opens toward what looks like a free-standing sauna surrounded by a spacious wooden deck. A expansive swathe of forest surrounds the property on all sides.
The posh compound is nestled in a picturesque section of the Garden State near the Delaware Water Gap…
Daggett is said to be a member of the Genovese crime family.
The union was already offered a staggering 50% raise, but Daggett turned it down. Also, he demands zero port automation, ensuring that the communist Chinese — unburdened by unions — continue to race ahead of us.
The Biden/Harris administration could stop the strike for 80 days under the Taft-Hartley Act but has declined to do so.
The strike is costing the economy over $3 billion per day. There will be shortages and probably layoffs for normal Americans, while Daggett and friends continue to live large in their mansions, ensconced in phony working man rhetoric.
