“Dating back to World War 1, the ILA was always proud to note that ‘ILA Also Means Love America’ when it came to its “No Strike Pledge” in handling U.S. military cargo at all its ports,” said ILA President Harold Daggett, who served in the U.S. Navy and saw combat duty during the Vietnam War. “We continue our pledge to never let our brave American troops down for their valour and service and we will proudly continue to work all military shipments beyond October 1st, even if we are engaged in a strike.”
The ILA’s Military Consultant, Gen. (Ret.) Tim McHale, weighed in on the ILA’s “No Strike Pledge” for U.S. Military cargo: “The U.S. Government representatives I have been engaging with are very happy and satisfied with the ILA who have always been there in tough situations, and always successfully accomplished the mission. Our U.S. Military knows that the ILA will conduct military load out operations even if there is a strike by ILA.”
critical support to their strike and all, but example of international solidarity this aint
The leverage-understanders have made a union
This isn't even a US specific thing
these are the same social chauvinists trend that Lenin was railing against around the failure of the 2nd international in Europe, which is illustrated in their 'proud' WWI history.
Everyone knows the best way to negotiate is to completely trash your leverage to engage in servile bootlickin'
Like telling liberals 'please move left but I'll always vote for you anyway'
