I'm calling a long ILA strike come January 16. If you doubt the likelihood of a strike by the ILA on January 16 and the duration, consider this insightful comparison to the current Boeing strike: Boeing has offered a 35% general wage increase over four years, yet did not include a pension plan, a key demand of the striking machinists (33,000 machinist). The pension plan was removed 10 years ago to retain jobs in Washington state. The strike started in mid-September and shows no signs of ending soon. It is crippling Boeing and their suppliers. This situation mirrors the ILA's stance on automation; despite previously accepting some level of automation in past agreements, the union now wants no automation. The ILA (45,000 members) will strike, and they will strike until they get what they want. Dagget is not going to budge on automation. Add the strike will occur FIVE days prior to the new Presidential inauguration. Will Biden implement the Taft-Hartley act? He did not prior to the election. As a lame duck, he could since he has nothing to lose and Harris would not be blamed. Will Harris implement the Taft-Hartley act? Prior to the election she said she would not if able to. Will Trump implement the Taft-Hartley act? He is more likely, but I do not think he will, teh strike will reinforce his stance on increasing manufacturing in the US. Brace for a long strike as the USMX's automation agenda aligns with everyone in supply chain, except the ILA, setting the stage for a challenging negotiation process. Living in Clevland I adapt the phrase, ILA AGAINST THE WORLD. #ILA #Strike #Automation #LaborNegotiations Would you agree, Lars Jensen Bjorn Vang Jensen Lori Ann LaRocco Ryan Petersen Jon Monroe Peter Tirschwell Jon Gold Ari Ashe John D.
