Striking port workers get support from Teamsters, UAW, and other unions
 Oct. 1, 2024| The roughly 45,000 longshoremen on strike across more than a dozen major U.S. ports are getting kudos and the rare sympathy strike from fellow labor unions. The ILA, in a statement Tuesday, blasted the “greedy” employers unwilling to meet its demands. “These companies... they don’t give a f—k about us,” ILA President Harold Daggett told members Tuesday in a video published by the union. “Well, we’re gonna show them they’re gonna have to give a f—k about us. Because nothing’s gonna move without us.” “The U.S. government should stay the f—k out of this fight and allow union workers to withhold their labor for the wages and benefits they have earned,” Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien said in a statement Monday.
