The east coast strike is over, with the shipping companies agreeing to a 62% pay increase over 6 years. Might sound like a high number until you consider the fact that us employees doing the same exact labor for the same exact companies on the west coast are already paid that. We all knew it would be a very short strike but the media prefers fearmongering so they can present the appearance that the White House had any say in the matter and tell you the vegetable made a phone call blah blah blah.
