Trump Supports Dockworkers in Automation Dispute

President-elect Donald Trump expressed support for the dockworkers union as their contract nears expiration, opposing further port automation which he argues harms American workers. The International Longshoremen’s Association is negotiating with the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which advocates for automation to improve efficiency and safety. Trump frames the issue as a conflict between U.S. workers and foreign companies, emphasizing the need to prioritize American jobs over technological advancements that could lead to job losses.
