The Spin

Narrative A

The US dockworkers' strike exposed the ugly underbelly of union monopolies. It threatened to paralyze trade and harm countless lower-paid workers across industries, demonstrating how unchecked union power can lead to extortion-like tactics, ultimately hurting the very workers that the unions claim to protect.

Wall Street Journal

Narrative B

Don't let Thursday's tentative agreement lull you into believing US port problems are solved. The issue at the heart of the dispute, automation, remains heavily salient. It is an existential threat to well-paid workers and the strike was merely the opening salvo — this agreement merely bought the country some time.
