Post-COVID, we've seen the affects of supply chain disruptions, especially on prices for everyone, recently, and it's not pretty. This falls into that category and affects people across the country, far from ports, many of whom make far less than these workers. I'm not going to go as far as saying they're being selfish or anything, but automation helps protect everyone else from the effects of strikes on everyday Americans.
The fact that it's east coast workers striking when the entire coast was just hit by a damn hurricane of that magnitude, necessitating goods from these ships to survive and rebuild, is just nuts.
I don't much care how much the companies make or what their profit margins are, really. It's not exactly relevant or anything here. The issue is what the workers make and what their job entails. $150k (before COVID and inflation, at that) for half the workers in some of these ports is kinda excessive and not worth striking to improve especially when it's hindering hurricane relief to the same coast, yeah?
Seems to me that it'd be immoral to not break the picket line on this one.
