East and Gulf Coast Longshoremen Strike

[Creedmoor]

Not if you’re being honest it’s not. I have been involved of thousands of negotiations as a part of my profession and in the real world in a real negotiation all parties have the freedom to leave the table and go elsewhere as an option.

What do you do? May I ask.
My background is,
As a Union Trade retiree with a ex FIL that he and his children did/do International Union Law. When he was alive he was the Senior Partner in the oldest and largest Union Law firm in the USA.
And a bestie of 14 years with a Juris Doctorate, that also does HR and Union Contract negotiations for a living.

Why do you believe that both parties certainly don't have the option to get up and walk out.
The company always has the option not to sign and become non union..

Day 3. No impacts to this hostage. Maybe I have Stockholm syndrome

With all the ceaseless money printing by Congress and the Fed. and the resulting devaluation of the currency maybe they are not so far out of line with their desired compensation.
Demanding no automation seems like a step too far though.

So the sky may not fall but at least we could all get on each other's nerves

It's a win win

I wonder if they are suspending the strike because it may've negative impact on election day for current administration.
