U.S. ports from Maine to Texas could shut down if a union representing about 45,000 dockworkers carries through with a threatened strike early Tuesday.
You do NOT need the publics support to win a strike, it makes it easier sure but they can put out all the bad press they want about how treat deliveries will be effected and so long as the ILWU stays strong and holds together they will win concessions (no regular person who wants to buy rick and morty funkopops or whatever is gonna read the AP and blame dockworkers on prices or shortages anyway, they’re watching tiktok and listening to like Joe Rogan)
Apparently, the Western dock worker’s union is not in solidarity with ILWU for some reason and people speculate ILWU will lose because of that. Can someone elaborate?
