The union representing U.S. dockworkers has signaled that 45,000 members will walk off the job at midnight, kicking off a massive strike likely to shut down ports across the East and Gulf coasts.

    Dockworkers are notoriously one of the most nepotistic and corrupt labor groups besides cops. I feel like this is lost on a ton of city/white collar folks when they act like these are angels. They’ll drive straight through active hazmat cleanup zones spreading that shit everywhere in port and not give a single shit all while making $100 an hour.

    …and I would still rather those Trump supporting lifted truck driving fucks get the money rather than these shipping companies that, miraculously, are even more corrupt and nepotistic than the workers.
