The number of dockworkers set to go on strike on 30 October is expanding rapidly. Some 50 ports will now be shut down, not only on the Mediterranean, but also in Ireland, India and Mexico.

                  Are Canadian and American ports typically unionized? I know American unions have been pretty thoroughly gutted over the last few decades, not sure about Canada’s. As much as I’d love to see support from both, I do wonder if the workers have the organizational capacity to join in. Without coordination, anyone who tries to participate is just risking their job for little to no impact.

                      In the US at least they’re usually uninionzed but that doesn’t mean much because it’s basically illegal for them to strike if they do anything that threatens the US war machine.

                        Major ports in both Canada and the United States are typically unionized, especially for the core dockworker workforce.

                            Are those compromised unions?

                              US ports are unionized.
