How Biden helped end a port strike that threatened Democrats in November

“Then in a surprising move, as the call was wrapping up, Zients told the board members of the U.S. Maritime Alliance that he was going to tell #Biden in about an hour that they had agreed to propose a new offer to the #Union. By that point, the shipping executives had agreed to do no such thing. Zients was saying they would.

“I need the offer today — not tomorrow. Today,”

Text Shot: Business groups and even some Democratic allies had wanted Biden to invoke the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 to force an end to the strike through a federal injunction. Biden and his team both publicly and privately promised not to go that route, insisting that the owners needed to reach a deal with the union and highlighting their corporate profits in recent years. The strategy reflected Biden’s personal determination to support labor even amid immense political pressure.
“By bluntly and unmistakably declaring he would not seek an injunction under Taft-Hartley, the president created space for collective bargaining and made clear they would have to reach a deal,” said Seth Harris, who served as Biden’s top labor adviser for much of his term. “This has been the formula Biden has followed since very early on in his presidency, and it has worked in most cases.”

My reaction to right wingers upset about the #portstrike being suspended

Looks like the strike is ended #portstrike

U.S. port workers agree to suspend strike until January to provide time to negotiate new contract.

CNBC reports: "The move ends a strike that had snarled East Coast and Gulf Coast ports since the beginning of the week and threatened U.S. supply of fruits, automobiles, and other goods."

Great, great…

Now you have to support the workers while also wondering if the timing of the strike is a case of ratfucking.
