Oh, Shit! Los Angeles Port Union Workers Going To Strike.

yeah, posted that a few weeks back....

nothing like a good month long strike to help the economy, doo dah :)

Here's a teamster joke I learned while working in the film biz:

Q: How many teamsters does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: 25, +overtime. You got a problem with that?

LOL

Good joke


It occurs to me that port strikes, or potential ones, have happened before this time of year.

"what about all those ships out there, sitting unloaded?? With all the Christmas toys for the keeeedz!

fuck the unions

and fuck LA.

Some of us live here. Choose your words carefully in the time to come friend.

I stand by my previous statement.

Welcome to the new Obama America where we are at the constant mercy of Big Unions.

My fave is when the grocery store clerks in Calif. strike

I live in Los Angeles and I say fuck LA also. A disgusting welfare state where everyone but an American gets a fair shake.

If ever you have Longshore backing you will be most fortunate. If the longshores are not crossing, you can be sure the strike will not last long...

Me too! They mad dog the shit out of you when you go shopping and cross their picket line, and they sure as hell remember you when the strike is off and cease to assist you when you need assistance while shopping.

wtf? a grocery clerk union?

you guys are truly fucked in the head out there.

And now this on top of that big rainstorm ? That area is going to be getting a lot of turmoil right about now.

More unions....at it again.

We know LOL! Believe it or not they are worse than the city unions and just as fucking stupid.

LA was once a great, proud city. Now it's a burned out shell that
looks like Mexico City and smells like a 9-day-old dirty diaper.

The only way to make LA suck just a little more is for a bunch
of whiny-ass Union-tards to go on strike ... all because their
cost-of-living is too high ... which is all because they live in a
state run by fucking Liberals!

tak

WOW!!!!
If you don't like LA leave!!

Some of us live here (not LA but close) and don't appreciate the many disrespectful comments about us out here. When, we just like others are on this site for information or to share. If you are that hateful and miserable to make stupid comments about where one lives when there may be doom, I suggest you either buy a self help book, get counseling, talk to a friend about your miseries or hug your dog!

This goes for the others as well that have posted stupid remarks about Calif. on other threads. Hey, alot of us didn't vote for Obama! Yet, stuck here just like allllllllllllllllllll of you GLPers in the U.S. dealing with all this mess!

I saw a documentry n the port of LA recently. Most of our goods come from there. It is Huge.

Can we just saw off California and set it adrift?

Yup

And most dopes "won't cross the picket line!"

Saw a pic of a port worker on strike once

He held a sign

The post of the sign was a baseball bat

When the Panama canal is finished, there will be a 25% diversion from Los Angeles-Long Beach to eastern ports. a lot of dockworkers wont be working.

I will be leaving soon! Its a horrible city led by leftist communist and Hollywood Illuminati child molesters.

I can't argue with you on that. Just make it out before either the Arkstorm hits us, 12/21/12 happens (anything), or the aliens come n get us,
the major earthquake hits, Fukushima nuclear power plant erupts or anything else I missed here on GLP that's been mentioned might happen to us. N Good Luck! Say a prayer for us if you make it out alive!

Also live here and joining the chorus of fuck LA!

Still paid when on strike.


3. What do I receive for pay if we go on strike?
You will receive any pay owed to you by the Employer.
CUPE National provides strike pay of $40.00 per day to a maximum of $200.00 per week for all members who perform picket duties

.....and hence why companies go out of business.
