If you thought the threat of a port strike was over, think again.
Michelle Malkin has the details:
The very latest from the East Coast/Gulf Coast port strike scene is that the International Longshoremen’s Association has walked out of federal mediation talks. According to Joe Bonney of the Journal of Commerce, “ILA walked out of NY-NJ local contract talks today, objecting to proposed changes. Coastwide bargaining session still on for next week.”
In case you need a refresher, Big Labor is throwing a hissy fit over modernization efforts by industry to reform archaic work practices, corrupt waterfront rackets, and container fees — a 60s-era relic.
While many observers breathed a sigh of relief at the temporary “reprieve” from a crippling strike before the end of 2012, it was nothing more than a p.r move by the union.
The president approved of their past “Days of Rage” protests and violence. He approves of network racketeering. He amended NAFTA so container shipping, Boeing 747s, and tractor trailers wouldn’t be searched.

…another reason, if you live in a city, to stock up on a year’s worth of food and necessities. Things may become scarce and unpredictable this year due to things like this…you can’t depend on Albertson’s if they can’t get their product….as long as unions get what they want, they don’t care what happens to anyone else. Be prepared.
