Thursday’s deal came after Biden administration officials met with foreign-owned shipping companies before dawn on Zoom, according to a person briefed on the day’s events who asked not to be identified because the talks were private. The White House wanted to increase pressure to settle, emphasizing the responsibility to reopen the ports to help with recovery from Hurricane Helene, the person said.
Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su told them she could get the union to the bargaining table to extend the contract if the carriers made a higher wage offer. Chief of Staff Jeff Zients told the carriers they had to make an offer by the end of the day so a manmade strike wouldn’t worsen a natural disaster, the person said.
By midday the Maritime Alliance members agreed to a large increase, bringing about the agreement.
Is liberal supposed to have a negative connotation?
Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law.
Joe doesn’t have a big mouth like Trump, but he actually does accomplish things. Trump’s jealous because he has no clue about how
Pete Buttigieg was point man and mentioned by both sides. History will tell a story about Pete IMO.
It’s still crazy to me that Trump has all three branches and didn’t pass a single piece of major legislation.
He passed 1 major piece of legislation.
Absolutely nothing got in the way of his capital gains tax cut.
Lmao that’s true. Does that count as major? It PALES in comparison to the Biden Infrastructure bill in terms of scope.
It’s the only thing he cared about.
And it pulled the last frail harness off the billionaire class.
That’s because he’s a patsy. The judges he put through have done enough and will do more
Biden didn’t have anything to do with this…
Getting downvotes because Liberals want to give Biden credit for the union’s achievements. XD
Getting downvotes because you didn’t read the article. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
