45,000 International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) dockworkers now on strike,
#17
Well now that it's getting talked about more:
Biden won't force ports to resume operations by invoking labor law (msn.com)
Quote:As dockworkers strike at seaports on the East and Gulf Coasts, the Biden administration has affirmed it will not use a federal labor law known as the Taft-Hartley Act to intervene in the strike. 
 
"We have not used Taft-Hartley, and we're not planning to," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told FOX Business' Edward Lawrence on Tuesday.

The main point here is this,
Quote:President Biden, whose administration has tried to facilitate talks between the two sides, has said that he won't use a federal labor law known as the Taft-Hartley Act to intervene in the strike. Under that law, Biden could take action that results in an 80-day "cooling off" period for negotiations to resume while workers are back at work.

That 80 day cooling off period would take us to late December and allow the end of the year Economic Boom that happens near the Holidays to continue. Without the Biden using this we now have a grid-locked harbors once again. 

As I stated above;
"Could Pelosi be behind this strike to ensure that Trump has to deal with a completely wrecked economy when he heads into office?"

seems to be panning out as the way things are moving behind the scenes.
