I'm all for unions, but we have a problem with this guy and the dockworkers strike with 45,000 longshoremen striking from Maine to Texas, don't we?
This is our “October Surprise.”
"ILA President Daggett enjoys a long relationship with Donald Trump going back decades in New York City. Both Trump and Daggett are the same age and were both from Queens, New York.
In late November 2023, former President Trump invited the ILA president to meet with him in Florida at Mar-a-Lago,
'We had a wonderful, productive 90-minute meeting where I expressed to President Trump the threat of automation to American workers, said ILA President Harold Daggett.
'President Trump promised to support the ILA in its opposition to automated terminals in the U.S. Mr. Trump also listened to my concerns about Federal 'Right To Work' laws which undermines unions and their ability to represent and fight for its membership.'"
This was written on the ILA's website from an article in July when he told people to pray for Donald after his assassination attempt.
Notice how he called him "President Trump."
Daggett also turned down President Biden's offer to help mediate the dispute, "We will not be interested in Biden sending us a mediator if negotiations are not going well.”
(Side note, look at the picture of Donald and Kim Jong Un at Mar-a-Lago. Weird).

If you don’t understand how the ILA longshoreman #portstrike from Harold Daggett will impact the average person, businesses, and the economy, then watch this video:
But of course Sean O’Brien, the head of the Teamsters who “refused to endorse” a presidential candidate while being buddy buddy with Donald Trump, is throwing in his support with ILA head Harold Daggett and the longshoremen in their port strike:
“The U.S. government should stay the f**k out of this fight and allow union workers to withhold their labor for the wages and benefits they have earned. Any workers—on the road, in the ports, in the air-should be able to fight for a better life free of government interference. Corporations for too long have been able to rely on political puppets to help them strip working people of their inherent leverage.”
This was designed to harm President Biden’s reputation as being pro-union if he intervenes with the imposing an 80-day cooling-off period under the federal Taft-Hartley Act, which forces workers back on the job while negotiations continue.
But they’re still going through with it thinking they can pin it on VP Kamala Harris.

Here's president of The International Longshoremen’s Association (the ILA), Harold Daggett, criticizing President Biden and threatening to shut down the economy and other unions with the #PortStrike:
"I'll shut them down throughout the world."
He later went on to say "I'll cripple you. I will cripple you and you have no idea what that means.”

It is widely known that Roy Cohn used to be Donald Trump’s attorney and also a fixer for the mafia and the Genovese crime family.
Donald Trump bought concrete from Genovese crime boss head Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno and Paul Castellano, head of the Gambino family, to the tune of an $8 million contract for concrete at Trump Plaza.
Trump didn’t merely do business with mobbed-up concrete companies…he also allegedly MET with Fat Tony Salerno at the townhouse of Roy Cohn, in a meeting corroborated with one of Cohn’s staffers who said she was present.
It’s important to note that “this came at a time when other developers in New York were pleading with the FBI to free them of mob control of the concrete business.” Donald was allegedly willingly walking straight into bed with them.
After a federal investigation, which also concluded that the construction industry was inundated with the mafia members strategically placed throughout the business, that Donald’s Trump Plaza most likely benefited from connections to organized crime and racketeering.
The federal indictment of Fat Tony Salerno said that Donald Trump was repeatedly paying inflated prices for the concrete to S & A Concrete, a firm Salerno and Paul Castellano owned through multiple fronts, and potentially to other mafia-controlled organizations.
Donald allegedly paid the premium in exchange for peace with the unions, meaning that he never having costly construction or delivery delays on the Trump Plaza project.

When you watch the videos of Harold Daggett, you immediately think he's acting like mob boss, don't you?
So let's move on to Harold Daggett and HIS mafia ties to the same crime family…
Daggett was indicted back in 2005 for multiple crimes of extortion and fraud, but later found not guilty, in a major RICO case in New York City.
It was alleged that John Bowers, the president of the International Longshoremen’s Association at the time, went to meet a local union official for dinner in Miami Beach.
Once inside, Bowers found George Barone instead of the official. Barone was a Genovese crime family member who had once controlled ILA locals in New Jersey and Miami as the vice president.
By his own count, Barone had also killed at least 10 or 12 people, working as a mob enforcer for the family.
In a sworn deposition, ILA head Bowers said that Barone told him: ‘‘You’re doing a wonderful job. We hope you stay forever. But if you ever leave, I would like to see Harold Daggett become president.’’
Barone said that he had been delegated to tell ILA President Bowers that the Genovese family wanted to see the Assistant General Organizer, Harold Daggett, become president of the ILA when Bowers retired and said “we are in control because we have our man as president.”
The indictment read that Daggett and his co-defendants ‘‘did what they were told,’’ which included things like securing jobs for organized crime at the New Jersey docks.
These charges followed a July 2004 indictment of the ILA vice-president, Louis Saccenti, a Gambino organized crime family associate, for perjury.
Interesting to note that one of Daggett's co-defendents who allegedly ran rackets on the waterfront, Lawrence Ricci, was found dead in a trunk in New Jersey in November of 2005 after he failed to show up to court on October 7th. It was speculated at the time that he was murdered because he wasn't going to plead guilty.
Seems kinda convenient that both Donald Trump and Harold Daggett go way back in New York City and have the same allegations of mafia ties to the very same crime family, doesn’t it?
🤷♀️

It was widely known that there has been criminal activity and mafia influence on the docks for a very long time.
The Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor (WCNYH) was a regulatory agency in the Port of New York and New Jersey that was founded in 1953 by an authorized compact between New York and New Jersey "for the purpose of eliminating various evils on the waterfront in the Port of New York Harbor" from Congress.
Under its statutory mandate, the mission of the Waterfront Commission was to investigate, deter, combat and remedy criminal activity and influence in the port district and also ensures fair hiring and employment practices.
From 2018 to 2023, New Jersey attempted to withdraw from the pact.
In 2023, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that it could do so, and the commission was dissolved.
Methinks that might not have been the best thing considering what's happening right now...

When I say that this longshoreman ILA strike has been planned for a while, this is why:
Here's Harold Daggett saying OVER A YEAR AGO in July of 2023, after he met with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago saying "mark my words, there's going to be an explosion," and that the ILA is going to "light the fuse" (essentially tank the economy) while spewing America First propaganda.

It is insane to me that this one man, Harold Daggett, not the vote of the entire union, has this much control over our economy.
Especially when the man made $728,000 last year from the ILA, plus another $173,000 as president emeritus of a local union branch.
Most every dockworker puts in overtime which means that they earn over $150,000 a year.
Harold has been asking for a 77% raise for workers.
Last night, it was reported that he rejected an increase of 50%.
It's also being reported that he turned down between 2x-3x the contribution to their retirement funds.
And NO automation of any kind for the next 6 years.
Mental.

Another interesting thing was that of Pasquale D'Amuro, the former Assistant Director of the NYC FBI who was overseeing the failed RICO case against Harold Daggett...
D'Amuro went to work for Rudy Giuliani not long after he was accused of taking "souvenirs" from the Twin Towers after 9/11.
He cited "personal reasons" for stepping down from his role at the FBI to become the CEO of Giuliani Security & Safety.
Coincidence?
