Strike!

DeSantis is sending in the troops. https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/desantis-authorizes-election-supervisors-to-make-accommodations-deploys-guard-to-ports-after-helene/3434493/
In most other states, the National Guard is comprised of Weekend Warriors. In Florida’s case, it’s a full time job.

I do wonder what happens if one of the National Guard troops is a longshoreman.

Have they arrested the Union President, yet?

US port workers and operators reach deal to end East Coast strike immediately
Tentative deal includes a 62% wage hike over six years ...
That would raise average wages to about $63 an hour from $39 an hour over the life of the contract.

But there's more ...
The U.S. ports strike suspension, with the International Longshoreman's Association union and USMX ownership group reaching a deal on wage increases, still leaves the contentious issue of port automation to resolve by a Jan. 15 deadline
That's about a hundred days from now.
In a statement Friday, the ILA said it wants to tighten the language related to the use of automation at ports. “Automation will continue to be an issue that will be worked out and is being worked out in this contract,” the ILA stated. “The ILA negotiated restrictions on automation and semi-automation in the last contract. The ILA just wants to tighten the language that no automation means no automation.”

In other words, put off the real strike until after the election.
Just a reminder. He didn't fix anything - just kicked the can down the road for his successor. Hopefully, Harris will be able to deal with it.
