President of the ILA, Harold Daggett is a real piece of work. He owns two, million dollar+ homes, just sold a 75-foot yacht, was prosecuted and acquitted on RICO charges in 2005, and is reputed to work for the Genovese crime family. Oh, and he met with Trump in July:

"We had a wonderful, productive 90-minute meeting where I expressed to President Trump the threat of automation to American workers," Daggett said. "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." usatoday.com/story/news…

Dagget must have left out the part where he guaranteed Trump an October surprise, I mean strike.
