We’ve gotten to the point where unions now need sub unions to save them from their union bosses.

I wonder what kind of illegal shit you gotta do to own a home like this. No one gets this rich from a paycheck.

Unions are great, union executives, not so much.

They’re not “his employees”. He’s the President of the Union, which is an elected position. Part of his job is to represent the union in negotiations with their actual employers.
Isn’t this the same union boss seen happily shaking hands with disgraced former POTUS Donnie right before telling his union to strike some 30-odd days before an election?
Why yes, yes it is.

In the interview I saw yesterday, this guy struck me more as a mobster trying to blackmail, than anything else. This only reinforces the mobster vibe.

Honestly, how many “heads” of any organization lives equal to or lower than it’s paying membership???

I hope those port workers get everything they’re negotiating for. This post is weak.

It’s like no one watched the second season of the Wire.

I’m sure he has a good line in ‘waste management’ as well.

No wonder Trump likes him, he’s just another con-man and grifter.

Fuck him
Oil-Paints-Rule on
I’m ok with that as long as he’s fighting hard for union rights and pay. Let him live well if he’s doing good work.
NutNewz on
Is he a Trump supporter? Ya darn tootin!
Is the timing for the strike suspicious and his explanation of fallout being perfectly aligned with the election? *maybe*
Do longshoremen deserve a raise? **YES**
No one is going to change their vote for politicians over this in the next month. Period.
Fuck this guy, but we should all support the striking workers by *checks notes* buying all the toilet paper that is manufactured and delivered domestically?

I know guy who worked as a longshoreman. It is literally a mob or gangster job. You can only get the job if you are ” in the family”. You can’t get the job if you don’t a have a referral from someone in the job. You would be waiting in line forever for the this job without someone’s referral. He’s retired now without a care in the world in NJ.
Starting salary for these guys isn’t $63K like what’s posted online, it is maybe double with all the overtime. There’s a fucking huge amount of corruption and nepotism at these ports and most people would never think about it. Now that automated machines are coming after their jobs, they are afraid of the castle crumbling.

Left punching leads to union punching. How about we talk about the executives he negotiates with and their homes?

Someone should ask this fool if he’s ever heard of Hoffa.

How fitting that his pool looks like a dick
bmiddy on
What is the point of that tweet?
Ok, he’s very well off.
He’s also pushing for working people to make more.
I don’t see an issue here.
bostrovsky on
I wonder where in NJ he plays golf?

And a huge Drump supporter who coincidentally hatches a plan to disrupt the economy just before an election.

I’m pro collective bargaining but this is New Jersey and reeks of organized crime taking over the ILA again. Genovese got the docks probably. His son is the executive VP . . . I’m sure they were all “elected” *wink wink* But again I’m not against workers rights.
LeahaP1013 on
Any of that money from one of the many trump tributaries. BC we all need to care about that.
majortomsgroundcntrl on
And how much do the companies make? He is demanding better security for his employees from multi billionaires. He should be fairly compensated!
ElPresidenteCamacho on
The funny thing is if the people who are saying shit like this truly believed it then they would still be on the unions side because the corporations, and the people heading them, they are fighting make this wealth look like peanuts. But then again, shit like this is never about actually meaning it huh?
KingSilver on
The guy who owns that house authorized a strike so that his coworkers (not employees) can feed themselves. A lot of union busting propaganda right here folks clear as sunshine
ChrisinCB on
Union…. er…. mafia. Fairly interchangeable at that level.
steelmanfallacy on
Also, a Trump supporter and looking to get a tax cut so he doesn’t pay as much taxes.
QuitPushing on
The longshoremen are denying a 50% pay increase because they demand 77%. The shelves are already bare. If anyone believes that this is anything other than political against Kamala, then sing out. I’m curious what you think.

Way to spread the message your corporate overlords want! Go look up the houses of the ceos of the shipping companies who actually employ these workers while adding zero value to the process themselves and see what actually is being discussed instead of reacting to lights and sounds like a fuckin child
Its_Pine on
Wait but actually if I’m understanding correctly, they want to have a 77% increase on their pay and have the average dock worker make more than high ranking attorneys. Am I misunderstanding it, or are their demands really that out of touch with reality?

His employees don’t need shit. These port workers make a good amount of money and the jobs are generational.

Also, [his base salary is 708K](https://www.newsweek.com/who-harold-dagger-ila-boss-port-strike-1962381), for a job he’s held for 13 years, and he pulls in another $173K as president emeritus of another union.
