How not to win public support for a strike. Union Spokesman: “I will cripple you”

Just a word to the wise: When starting a negotiation, you probably don’t want to open with a threat like “I will cripple you”. It has a tendency to provoke a fight or flight instinctive reaction. Now people like me are posting articles about you saying, “I will cripple you”. We haven’t even touched on your union, the strike, the reasons. All that stuff. We’re all focused on this clip and your threat.

So, that’s Harold Daggett and he’s the leader of the ILA. His Union unloads all the big shipping containers at the ports in the US. Got it? Good. They want more money. And they are concerned about losing jobs to automation. That’s valid. But right now, we are adversaries. Why? You threatened me. Not a good look. This is why people don’t think favorably about unions. Shit like this.

Now, let’s talk about the lockdowns and your ‘heroic actions’. Fuck you. We were running out of shit left and right. You’re not a hero. I bet you all made bank while most Americans we’re barely scraping by. So again: Fuck you. In fact, the more I think about this, the more pissed off I get. Is this you?

So, now I find myself wondering if this whole unloading boats operation should be automated. Yes, these are good jobs. They are fucking great jobs! But you just threatened AMERICA! The people of this country need the stuff your boy’s unload. Stuff like medicine! So, fuck you. Should we make all that stuff in the US? You bet. Are we way too dependent on other countries? Yes. I want American to be totally self-sufficient. You could say I have trust issues with other countries. And now? I got trust issues with you. So, good luck. You have zero sympathy from your fellow American and you needed it. Big time.
