Meantime, the Canadian ports are on strike...partial strike, as they're allowing bulk grain etc. to move through.

No link; but I get it from Sal Mertigliano's channel.

IMHO, they're gonna let the cooling-off period run out, and the union will take the opportunity to punish us Garbage Deplorables for what we DARED do on Election day.

Yup, the unions want to destroy any chance Orange Man might have in repairing the nation.

The zombies carrying the signs, are just that - pawns, automatons.

The decision makers are in union offices, are paid seven figures, and mostly, are close to government leftists, to Globalist key players, or both.

Foolish.

I know what Trump is doing, here. He's only got four years to get a lot done, and doesn't need to be sparring with the unions.

But what he's claiming he supports, is the stuff of Ned Ludd (Luddism) - a mindless anti-progress battle that cannot be won, that only has costs.
 

Maersk Sees No Progress in U.S. Port Talks

The world’s No. 2 container carrier urged customers to remove cargo from East and Gulf Coast ports in the US before a Jan. 15 deadline for dockworkers and their employers to avoid a possible strike just days before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

Oh, they're itching to strike.

The union goombahs have filled their sheeple's heads with visions of dancing sugar-plums.

But the Goonions are owned by the Circle-D Par-Tay. The same monsters who tell the empty skirts on-camera, what to say, what lies to repeat. To the word; to the inflection point.

Right now it's about making as much trouble as POSSIBLE for President Garbage Deplorable. Literally-Hitler is to be provoked endlessly, until he does something that they can twist into Impeachable or Mentally-Unstable.

I'll post the contract when it's made public. Should be a good deal for the rank and file.
 
Towards the end of the vid there are a few things to see but, in my opinion, better to listen in one tab, play around the forum in a different tab. I'll post a copy of the contract once they post it up in the ILA website.

If you're not into backroom deals, shipping, logistics and supply chain news you may find this a bit boring.
