For 2 days, Bob Nois sat in his truck, "I got here yesterday about 10 o'clock. load candy, load heart ship going to south Korea." That's 33,000 lbs of chocolate in the back of his truck. "Maybe it's called today taken back to Herchy."
The reason these Pennsylvania made chocolates did not leave for South Korea on Wednesday is because of a longshoremen strike. (All in despair to unity 1.) The strike by those who load and unload the ships ended late Wednesday afternoon. But for 2 days, all cargo 2 traffic at the port of New York and New Jersey 3, the largest port on the east coast was shut down.
This longshoreman who would only give his first name Bill says he was striking over the hiring of non-union workers which he says puts his job at risk. "For our jobs, our livelihood 4, our homes, security for our families. You have got a point, a major cargo out of a LA facility to a non-union facility for what is basically working poor wages. "
The judge has ordered the longshoremen back to work after a law suit by the New York shipping 5 association. As for Bob Nois, the man with the truckload of chocolates, he'd already left by the time the strike ended. "They don't wanna work, somebody else will, afforded amounts." He says her ship was finding another route for the candy. "I'll go somewhere to get them on, get them headed over there. I've loaded them at an airport, I go to an airport, I've got 10 up so far "
The New York association says longshoremen will work through the weekend to clear the backlog 6. And labor 7 talks are scheduled for next week.
