Well it looks like the strike is resolved and the Longshoreman won their fight to keep automation out.
** Trump weighed in last month on the automation issue via his social media platform Truth Social after meeting with Daggett at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, siding with dockworkers.
“I’ve studied automation, and know just about everything there is to know about it. The amount of money saved is nowhere near the distress, hurt, and harm it causes for American Workers, in this case, our Longshoremen,” Trump wrote.
Daggett called Trump’s post the “statement ‘heard round the world.'”**
In a separate statement, the head of the dockworkers union, Harold Daggett, heaped praise on TIG for helping smooth the way for a deal, saying TIG — who had criticized industry’s automation plans — “gets full credit.” He cited the president-elect’s public support for the labor group after a meeting late last year.
