ILA said in a press release published today:
“The International Longshoremen’s Association and the United States Maritime Alliance, Ltd. have reached a tentative agreement on wages and have agreed to extend the Master Contract until January 15, 2025 to return to the bargaining table to negotiate all other outstanding issues. Effective immediately, all current job actions will cease and all work covered by the Master Contract will resume.”
ILA was demanding a 77% pay increase over the next 6 years, and were protesting against automation taking over members’ work.
President Of ILA Union Leading US Port Strike Receives Papal Blessing From Pope Francis
President Joe Biden said in a statement:
“I want to applaud the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance for coming together to reopen the East Coast and Gulf ports. Today’s tentative agreement on a record wage and an extension of the collective bargaining process represents critical progress towards a strong contract.”
Biden continued, adding, “I congratulate the dockworkers from the ILA, who deserve a strong contract after sacrificing so much to keep our ports open during the pandemic. And I applaud the port operators and carriers who are members of the US Maritime Alliance for working hard and putting a strong offer on the table.”
Kenneth Riley ILA International Vice President, Port of Charleston told Counton News 2’s Jordan Cioppa that “we reached a deal on the two most important things to us in these negotiations.” He added:
“To show you that we are committed to servicing America, we came up with a deal today with the assistance of the Biden Administration, the Assistant Secretary of Labor, Pete Buttigieg, and everybody else who were instrumental in getting all the parties together.
“As soon as we can get those ships in here and we can get orders on board we’ll be back to work as early as tonight or even tomorrow morning.
“We’ve got a deal that’s good for America, so we’re excited to go back to work.
“The strike is officially over…for now. We hope we don’t have to have a strike in January, but at least for now we are done. The parties came together and did the right thing.”
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
And yet the sheeples ran out and were panic-buying, picking shelves clean and scooping up everything they can fit their carts, stuff that would mostly not even be affected by these strikes. But hey, as we all know, when going the gets rough just stock-up on toilet paper to save you!
It is evident, in my opinion, that once again we have another “feeler:” the powers that be wanted to see what the reaction of the masses will be; and it appears they got the data they wanted to collect from this event. Of course, this temporary agreement is kicking the can down the road for a few more months. With this being so close to the election the handlers probably did not want too much ruckus, yet…
Nevertheless, use this as a reason why you still need to stock-up on appropriate items and be prepared the best that you can, because sooner or later some major event will be allowed to occur that will legitimately be stressful and painful…
Proverbs 14:15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
Proverbs 27:12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Its always been so easy to manipulate the masses. Maybe this was another Beta test, which i FIRMLY believe it was
Former SUCKretary of Defense (if you can really all it that) Robert Gates started his own NGO called THE MINERVA INITIATIVE, MInerva is the Greek goddess of wisdom, to enact and study events just such as this for their endless research into manipulating the masses. It looks to me like the experimentation is coming along just fine! Instead of Minerva it should have been called the Satanic Initiative as ALL these NGO’s should be called. There are a TON of them like HIAS and their good buddy. Majerka who runs HSA and the country into the ground. HSA goes back to a Nazi equivalent whose German name was too complicated for me to remember but you can easily look it up.
Why the toilet paper? How much do this people get rid of waste?
They wont even need toilet paper if they eat unhealthily.
Why would they stock up on toilet paper? Are loose bowels becoming contagious or something?
Stock up on food, batteries, ammo, get a weapon…or two, water, water filters, typical things you’d use for hunting or camping, and so on and so forth.
People cannot think for themselves anymore. True science is not prevalent in people’s minds. Took this young man a while before I started to understand the way God made things. Food and water and the important nutrients in it all to sustain life and health.
Sleep, working, money, baking, spiritual truth, VEHICLES (still trying with this), mechanics, technology, cleaning, raiment.
The whole reason I desired to learn this is because of GOD. Take God out of people’s minds they become FOOLISH. They become slothful and rely on other people for help. Doordashing their food instead of making it at home.
Romans 1:31 WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Amen, Issac Nelson!
Back to the Bible or back to the jungle!
All looking a bit ‘theatrical’ . . .
Andrew, – loose bowel comment – LOL
Yes it is theatricals to get the masses in a total state of unease and tension.
Contagious loose bowels ha ha ha! Irritable bowel syndrome must happen when people are tense.
Smelly butts. That’s why people stock up toilet paper since scamdemic.
So another strike possibly in January, whenever the next puppet takes over.
I kind of suspected this would happen, they’d be a show of force for a bit, some panic buying, and then normalcy, if only for a period of time. Can’t say I’m surprised about the toilet paper though.
Setting up everyone for the big one in Jan, panic buying is done now because it’s time to go on spending sprees for Christmas, that’s when it hits the fan and the cards will be maxed. When the food gets low, hope that toddy paper tastes good.
