Landing a Bromma overheight frame from nearly 185 feet up is no easy task. No flippers — just eyesight, experience, and help from the crew below. Put a little too much weight on one side and things can go bad fast. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. 🏗️

A new union container terminal could reshape the East Coast. Thousands of ILA jobs are on the line—but a lawsuit is trying to stop it before construction even begins. Whose side are you on? #ILA #Longshoremen #Ports #UnionStrong #Shipping
A routine container lift turned into a terrifying near miss when an RTG crane got hung up on a moving train. Thankfully, no one was hurt—but this is why communication and situational awareness matter every day. #RTGCrane #SafetyFirst #RailYard #Longshoremen #CraneDaddy
Charleston’s Leatherman Terminal is shutting down August 1st. SC Ports says it’s temporary—but what does that really mean for waterfront jobs? #ILWU #Longshoremen #CharlestonPort #ShippingNews #PaceOfTheWaterfront
Baltimore’s waterfront is getting a massive upgrade. A $1.2B terminal at Sparrows Point is expected to create 1,100+ ILA jobs and boost container capacity by about 70%. Is this the future of American ports? ⚓️ #ILA #Longshoremen #Baltimore #Ports #MSC
One second changed everything. A mechanic riding a fully extended boom lift was struck by a passing truck at LBCT and somehow survived by hanging on. Why wasn’t there a spotter? The dangers on the docks are real.

Workers lose their lives in accidents like this when safety takes a back seat. A hatch cover slid off a tilted ship—one wrong step and it’s fatal. Safety should never be optional. #CraneDaddy #PortSafety #DockLife #MaritimeAccident #SafetyFirst #Longshoremen

Longshoremen，「技術」工人工會、通馬桶工會⋯⋯⋯封建行會
名字是工人基層利益捍衛者，如今已經是碼頭工會主席#Harold Daggett一類的黑社會以和為貴壟斷集團、寄生份子。

19C以來means of production技術創新變革大大超過property laws修正，手握生產工具的人全成為既得利益者、轉而反對財產權利變革。冇錯Piketty一早講左，封建行會工會如同德國社會民主黨變成既得利益集團。#封建行會
And another dock joins in the boycott of loading munitions for Israel. ✊✊✊

Do not overlook this new, historic U.S. labor/management deal:
#Longshoremen and ports/shippers have just reached a tentative agreement avoiding a crippling national shutdown of US ports.
“Agreement to protect jobs, also modernize ports.”

Qube workers strike at 10 ports for better pay and conditions
Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) members from ten bulk-handling facilities of Qube Ports around Australia stopped work on Monday in an International Day of Action against Qube’s refusal to hold genuine wage negotiations. The MUA has been trying to renegotiate 19 enterprise agreements covering 21 port facilities and over 1,000 workers since October 2023. The union accuses Qube of ignoring serious safety, fatigue and work-life balance concerns during negotiations.
Along with higher pay, the workers want earlier notification of shift start times, a 10-hour break between shifts and 48 hours off after maximum consecutive shifts. Workers complained that they are regularly required to work within 8 hours of the conclusion of their last shift, leaving them exhausted on the job as they get thrown from evening shifts to day shifts and back again at the whim of roster managers. Workers are told at 4 p.m. each day if they’re required to work the next day and face the prospect of up to 20 different shift start times each day on shifts between 7 and 12 hours.
MUA members rejected Qube’s pay rise offer of 5 percent over each of the first two years of a new agreement, and 4 percent in each of the two subsequent years, as well as back pay for agreements concluded by September 30. The union says its members’ wages have declined by 14 percent in real terms while Qube profits have risen by 148 percent since the last agreement.
The industrial action at Qube’s bulk facilities includes bans on night shifts, shift extensions, work on ships for the first 8 hours in port, shifts longer than 8 hours, and start times for all shifts apart from 7 a.m., 3 p.m. and 11 p.m. Workers are also holding one-hour daily work stoppages at 5:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
The MUA is escalating industrial action and scheduled 24-hour rolling stoppages between December 23 and January 12 at Port Kembla, Brisbane, Fremantle and Darwin. The union claims Qube has cancelled bargaining meetings because junior managers wanted to go on leave around Christmas.

"The ILA’s support for Trump shows the bureaucracy is on the side of management. Bureaucrats across the country are flocking to Trump, pledging to work with him on his xenophobic policies aimed at falsely blaming foreigners for job losses carried out by US capitalists, with the support of the trade unions."

Trump promotes “America First” nationalism to head off potential second strike on US East Coast docks

... Trump expressed his real attitude to the working class at Economic Club of Chicago two months ago, when he compared autoworkers to children. Elon Musk, whom Trump appointed as head of the so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” only days before denounced dockworkers for their opposition to automation.
Wall Street, which knows they stand to reap massive profits under these policies, has responded to Trump’s election with a massive stock market surge. Jeff Bezos, founder and chairman of Amazon which has spearheaded automation in its warehouses, donated a million dollars to the Trump inauguration and praised him in a recent media appearance.
What Trump’s “America First” policies really mean is to first crush domestic opposition within the United States to prepare for conflict with China and other rivals of US capitalism.
A real fight for jobs requires workers prepare a struggle first of all against the oligarchs in the United States, as part of a global movement of the working class. Workers are united by their common interests, but the ruling elite tries to pit workers against each other by promoting nationalism and racism. Their watchword must be not “America First,” but “workers of the world unite!”
The ILA’s support for Trump shows the bureaucracy is on the side of management. Bureaucrats across the country are flocking to Trump, pledging to work with him on his xenophobic policies aimed at falsely blaming foreigners for job losses carried out by US capitalists, with the support of the trade unions.
