      Maybe Biden can stop it the way he did the railroad workers'
      strike.

      How dare these peasants get above their station.

        The strike by tens of thousands of dockworkers on the East and Gulf coasts has been called off, after the International Longshoremen's Association and the U.S. Maritime Alliance, representing ocean carriers and port operators, reached a tentative agreement on wages.

        The two sides also agreed to extend the existing contract until Jan. 15, 2025. In the meantime, they will return to the bargaining table to negotiate all other outstanding issues, including the union's demand on a ban on all automation at the ports.

          ...or the way Trudeau stopped the truckers' strike.
