Union-Only Port Terminal Suspends Operations
Committee President Mark Mix: “If I were a Leatherman dockworker, I certainly wouldn’t count on Longshore Union bosses to show any flexibility” to get the terminal reopened and “save my job.”
Just how desperate is Big Labor? The union bosses from the Washington State have filed an ethics complaint against South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham for “pressuring” the National Labor Relations Board into dropping its ill-founded complaint against they company whose employees they claim to represent.

Perhaps it’s the first time such a thing has happened to this union and they are unsure on how best to react.

In many cases, employees who are denied the opportunity to vote out a union as a consequence of the Biden green light for Big Labor blocking charges never got a chance to vote on whether or not they wanted to have a union in the first place.
