UPDATE: Vice President Harris has seemingly endorsed the strike. In a statement on Twitter, she wrote that the “strike is about fairness” and that those striking “deserve a fair share of these record profits.” You can read her full statement below:

UPDATE: As the strike continues, some are panic-buying goods such as toilet paper, fearing shortages similar to those in the pandemic. While toilet paper, a non-perishable good, won’t be an issue, perishable goods such as food may become more scarce. Intercessors should take necessary precautions and pray for a swift end to this strike!
Thousands of dock workers have gone on strike, bringing trade on the eastern and gulf coasts to a halt. How will this affect us?
From The Daily Wire. Tens of thousands of dock workers at ports along the East and Gulf coasts walked off the job at midnight on Tuesday, a massive strike that brings billions of dollars in trade to a screeching halt.
Have you taken your place on the wall?
The International Longshoremen’s Association launched the strike after port ownership failed to meet its demands for higher wages and address the union’s objections to port automation. …
About 45,000 workers will refuse to work during the strike, which will snarl supply chains and choke off nearly 50% of U.S. imports. A total of 14 ports are affected including the Port Authority in New Jersey and the ports in Boston, Philadelphia, Wilmington, North Carolina, Baltimore, Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami, New Orleans, Mobile, and Houston.
Overnight workers quickly began to picket, and pictures of the striking workers popped up on social media almost immediately. …
BREAKING – Over 45k union dockworkers with ILA are officially on strike, shutting down all East and Gulf coast ports, from New York to Miami to Houston. They’re standing to protect their future against the shipping companies forcing automation on the docks. pic.twitter.com/BnRqZzkHqT

Depending on how long the strike lasts, Americans could see shortages and delays past the election and into the holiday season.
Bananas, coffee, cocoa, pharmaceuticals, clothing, furniture, vehicles, and even Christmas decorations are among the products that will be affected. As far as American exports, beef, poultry, pork, eggs, and cotton will be impacted as well. …
The Biden-Harris administration had the ability to stop the strike, but has opted not to invoke the Taft-Hartley Act, which gives the president the power to keep workers on the job. …

Let not this be a political stunt by Ms. Harris. The lives of many people are being effected. God make a way where there is now way. In Jesus’ name. We need heavenly support.
To add to this conversation the termination of the contracts were on the horizon for months. Why did Maritime wait until the last minute to decide what to do about renewing them??
Thank you El Shaddai for IFA intervention ( as I believe is what prompted this pay resolution) and all the saints, through prayer. May you bless and protect them. Jehovah Jirea I ask You to be involved in the future negotiations regarding the automation aspect of the deal because You see the future and what it should look like, by not taking away jobs from Americans – in every mountain. May the sprit of fear and repentance be poured out over all involved in the shipping industry. Open their eyes to see you. Humble the CEO’s to see their need for YOU and Your involvement of what just happened. Be glorified through this Elohim. Thank You for all you do for us unknowingly.
MY. FAMILY WERE UNION ORGANIZERS DURING THE 30’S.GRANDPA WAS A WOBBLY. TAT MEANS THAT WHEN THE BOSSESS FOUND OUT HE WAS ORGANIZING A UNION THEY’D SEND THUGS TO BEAT HIM UP AND HE’D WOBBLE HOME. DROVE GRANDMA CRAZY. BUT UNIONS TODAY ARE CORPORATIONS TIED AT THE HIP WITH ALL CORPORATIONS AT THE BANK ACCOUNT. NO LONGER DOING WHAT THEY WERE, CLASICALLY, CREATED TO DO!
That is so true. Wake up the people Lord.
I believe this should be another Ronald Reagan moment when dealing with the air traffic controllers. These dock workers want 77% raise with the promise of no automated features being added to the docks. You can’t hold America hostage while destroying further the economy. If you don’t want to work, then you’re fired. There are plenty of non union workers who would be grateful for the job.
How despicable this current regime is. As usual they do nothing good for American citizens.
Yes, the workers deserve a fair share. However, instead of focusing on our “getting what we need”, have faith that basics will be provided (manna in the desert) and as far as panic buying – focus on relying on non imported goods and growing at least some of one’s own food. Toilet paper? There is always the option of washing oneself using a small spouted watering can. Let’s quit sounding like the inhabitants of Panem in “Hunger Games” and start by looking at the broader situation and also by doing more to provide for ourselves using the resources that God gives, such as (not limited to) the natural world He has created.
I disagree that automation is good to implement. There are too many jobs at stake and from what I understand it is more expensive than the companies’ hiring laborers. Think of the jobs that will be lost and the impact on the families. Look what happened to towns in VA. The people were forced to depend on the government, and many are dependent on drugs as well. Automation will cause more dependency on the government and that is what they want. I feel food is the god of this nation today as well. Americans are so overweight and materialistic we are ridiculed by people over in Europe. Maybe we need to take a close look at our values during this time. I know this will not strike a pleasant chord in a lot of people and talk about only a couple of aspics of this topic/strike.
If we are to unearth the connections between the Biden administration and the union leadership of the dockworkers, you would (or wouldn’t) be surprised at the hidden agreements between the two. Pray for exposure and the truth to come forth.
Odd that this happening just before the election and post Hurricane Helene. Our government currently does nothing but harm the middle class of this country.
I understand that they want to have a raise just like everyone else would because of the economy. But instead of fighting against automation, just like most other countries have. Perhaps they should ask for training on running the automated machinery. Our country and its residents and economy are more important. Look at the families devastated by the hurricane. Sometimes others needs become more important
LORD, thank You for being our provider. There is NO lack of any good thing in Your hand. Rest and trust in You is paramount!
Abba Father, these folks want more pay and benefits. Help them to realize that You are their source. In meantime, we petition You to shut down the money we so foolishly send to the nations such as Ukraine and the Gazans as well as other nations who continue to scorn us and misappropriate those monies for evil purposes. Unless there is a great outpouring of Your Spirit on these people they they will never understand wholesome stewardship. You have paid the price for their needs to be met. Bring them into marvelous encounters with You for Your Glory we request with Grateful hearts. Amen!
I believe the workers demands are obnoxious. Some of the unions ways are helping push companies to go automated. 77% pay raise that is quite prideful. I worked 43 years and 3% was customary. Automation is affecting a lot of people. Besides that raise is so far past the cost of living increases, they need to learn to adjust their lives like the rest of us. Besides that 77% will be passed down the line adding even more to our cost of products. Unions should be there to protect workers from unfare treatments not blackmailing for more pay.
David Nason, you are spot on. The only benefit of the strike is to delay import of that Chinese made garbage that has resulted in high unemployment of American workers over the past 30 years or so. The biggest destroyer of US industry has been the EPA which hopefully Mr. Trump will cut down to size so that products for Americans will be made in Americans on US soil. Greed has been addressed throughout history and in the Bible. Jezebel, Marie Antionette, P. Diddy, the Helmsleys of NY, just a few examples..
Dearest Heavenly Father: I thank you for your word. As I started to write a prayer to you and was feeling overwhelmed by this situation, your Holy Spirit reminded me that all I really need to pray about is that YOUR WILL BE DONE. Just like every other situation that presents itself to your followers, we KNOW we can and should STAND ON YOUR WORD. Some that come to mind are: Fear thou not for I am with you, be not dismayed for I am thy God. Yea, I will strengthen thee, I will help thee, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness (Isaiah 41:10) In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (Romans 8:37) Now unto him is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we think or ask according to the power that worketh within us (which is his HOLY SPIRIT) (Ephesians 3:20) Father help us to remember that you are a provider and that you alone are who we should be relying on. Help us to return to our knees in prayer and your word for direction. Let us all remember Psalms 56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. We give you all Glory, Honor, Power and Praise for you ALONE are Worthy to be praised. We pray this prayer in the Mighty Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Our Lord, Savior, Healer, Protector, Provider, Best Friend Ever — Our Everything! Amen
James 5:16. – the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous avails much! We as intercessors, must continue to stay on the wall, especially after President Trump is back in office. We must keep him, VP Vance, their families and our nation covered in prayer. We must continue to bind the spirits of darkness! In JESUS mighty name! The devil don’t win! “ IT’S A FIXED FIGHT!” ! JESUS has already won! Hallelujah! However, we must continue to do our part which is to wreak havoc against the darkness, by warring in the spirit! Take heart my brothers and sisters! We are more than conquerors through CHRIST JESUS our LORD! Thank you JESUS!! Hallelujah to the LAMB!
Lord
17¶Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls,
18yet I will rejoice in the LORD;
I will take joy in the God of my salvation. Habakkuk 3:17
Yes and Amen! 🙏,🇺🇸🙏
I’m not worried God takes care of and we will be able to get meat etc other needs I’m praying but I think the news media and Democrats is just stoking fear and news media and Democrats overreacting and God is in control and Trump will be President next year starting in January no matter what the news media does and democrats do it will fail and God always wins as for port workers I do not support there strike
Back at end of June 2024, God gave me the scripture to stand on ‘NO weapon formed against Donald Trump will be able to prosper’ (Is. 54:17) and also declaring and decreeing this OVER AMERICA and our 2024 ELECTION! God is greater than any plan of the enemy to destroy our nation, our economy, our free and fair election in November! We say to this ‘mountain’ concerning the port workers – be removed and cast into the sea in Jesus’ name. We declare the wisdom of God to enter into this battle and the power of the blood of Jesus over and upon the port workers’ strike, the Western North Carolina, etc. devastation, the chemical plant in GA that blew up, the U.S. Post Office’s decision to not deliver mail to many counties in the 3 states impacted by Hurricane Helene for many days (which would indicate ‘after’ the election on Nov. 5), and any and every other ‘destructive’ event or situation that is to come and declare a miraculous breakthrough in JESUS’ NAME. We also block/ do not permit evil to overtake America, but boldly declare that America shall be saved by the grace of God, by the blood of the LAMB!!!!
First we pray for a president whose self interest damages the very infrastructure cure of this count r y.
I can hustle to but the babies needing formula and those needing meds we lift up.
The Father has already said this is going to be a difficult, different kind of Christmas.
Workers will be impacted by coming hurricanes.
We Stand
We can certainly pray for this to not keep Americans from getting what they need, but we a intercessors, need to break all demonic assignments and come against what the enemy is doing in this strike.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before you and praise your name for being the one true God, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! We stand in the name and authority of Jesus and we Bind up all spirits of greed and anything else operating in this strike and commend them to stand down. We can’t sell their assignments in Jesus’s name and we release the power of the Holy Spirit and gods holy angels over this situation now.
Father, we praise you as we enter your new year today. We praise you for all you have done and all you will be doing to restore America back to you. Because we know you have a plan! We pray for unity and harmony between the dock workers and their employers. We pray for President Biden to do whatever you lead him to do.
We pray for peace in Jesus name, amen.
Democrats have orchestrated this strike to keep Donald Trump from winning this election. Quote ” anything and everything to keep Trump from taking office “
And Democrats will fail Trump will be our next President next year starting in January of next year
Trump will take office in January next year and Trump will be sworn in office as President January of next year 2025
I don’t understand this message.
