👨💼“Despite this decline unions remain powerful in the public sector. However, union members today are rather different from in the past. They are civil servants and teachers rather than miners and gas workers.” 🗣️Professor Len Shackleton on his new book Unions Resurgent?⤵️ Read the full book here: https://lnkd.in/eS9yimub

Honor to be published with my colleague Bryce Chinault in National Review:

I realise this may raise the hackles of some, but I do believe that this is a genuine option to try & address the runaway freight train that is our local & global inequality gap. It is simply a reality that when we humans feel they have nothing to lose we will simply take from others. Boot camps, more prisons etc will not make a difference. Check out Guyon Espiners interview with Dave Letele to for an insight into that angle https://lnkd.in/gmCj9JCF

Be Content with your wages Luke 3:14 KJV 14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. Hebrews 13:5 KJV 5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 1 Timothy 6:6-10 KJV 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

The ILA has issued this statement on Facebook: With 36 hours to go before the end of the ILA-USMX contract tomorrow evening, the 85,000 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association, joined in solidarity by tens of thousands of dockworkers and maritime workers around the world, will hit the picket lines at 12:01 am on Tuesday, October 1, 2024 and strike at all Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports from Maine to Texas. United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) refuses to address a half-century of wage subjugation where Ocean Carriers profits skyrocketed from millions to mega-billion dollars, while ILA longshore wages remained flat. ILA unity remains strong and is growing. The ILA will update the public and media on any new developments tomorrow morning by 11 am. The ILA is not engaging in one-on-one interviews today or tomorrow. We have no information to release about locations of pickets or protests beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, October 1, 2024.

Brinksmanship seems to be the prevailing negotiation approach, both locally and internationally. Just as inflation was under control, this impending strike could disrupt the economy, which was on track for a smooth landing. The looming strike is poised to usher in increased volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) unless averted or prolonged beyond a few days. #Negotiation #Economy #VUCA

We now have the official position from the White House in relation to the US port strike. The condensed version is that the White House essentially promotes the viewpoint of the ILA union, and places the blame squarely on USMX. Politically this means supporting the line that this is a battle against foreign-owned companies who are not sharing profits fairly with American workers. Between the lines that also rules out using Taft-Hartley. Unless USMX caves in to all of ILA’s demands we now look at a strike which can be quite protracted - i.e. multiple weeks rather than days. https://lnkd.in/dRFpR_mZ
