In a move to help the strikers, Biden urges port operators to increase wage after 45,000 longshoremen go on strike. "Now is not the time for ocean carriers to refuse to negotiate a fair wage for these essential workers while raking in record profits,” Biden said. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
Biden urges port operators to increase wages after 45,000 workers go on strike
Strike – first by port workers on US east coast since 1977 – threatens to shut down ports from Maine to Texas

I ❤️ Joe Biden.
