Don’t Panic Just Yet About The Dock Strike. But Be Ready Anyway.
5 min readOct 2, 2024
I grew up in a family where my father was very pro-union. I am still very supportive of unions and worker rights. He worked for General Electric in the 1980’s, which was a dying industry.
I remember when he was on strike he didn’t get a paycheck and we had to get food from my grandparents to make ends meet. It was a really tough, stressful time.
I did not know a lot about this dock strike until an article about Costco stocking up ahead of time, like months ago, caught my attention.
And now, it’s Oct.1 and the strike is in force.
