Part of my mother (89) 's family is from #marseille, so she's cheering the dockers on now to boycott ISR cargo ships loaded with munitions and arms.
That's the advantage of genetic diversity, you can recognize the bigger picture, right? ;)
Go for it, #dockers!

history shows the #workingclass only benefits from #automation and #upskilling through luddism. The 19th century #Luddites did not enjoy the right to vote or collectively bargain yet they fought the bosses who hired #childlabor, exploited skilled workers and drove down their wages.

When East and Gulf Coast longshoremen went on strike last week, their employers claimed to be unable to afford their wage demands. In truth, the shipping industry has seen unparalleled profits in recent years. The strike made them change their tune.

East Coast Longshore workers with the International Longshoremen’s Association are returning to work, after three raucous days on the picket lines. They received a promise of a $24-an-hour pay raise over six years, bringing top pay from $39 to $63. The strike paralyzed shipping in huge port complexes like Newark, Houston, and Charleston, stopping loads of fruit, vehicles, and heavy equipment. It was the first coastwide strike for the ILA since 1977. The sides will return to bargaining on the other big issue of the strike, automation, extending the old agreement to January 15.
