Dock Workers Call Off Strike After Union Boss’s Luxurious Lifestyle Exposed

Dock workers from Maine to Texas have agreed to postpone their strike until January 2025. The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) went on a brief strike this week after failing to negotiate a new contract with port bosses.

Dock workers returned to work on Friday after reaching a temporary agreement on Thursday night.

The massive labor dispute caused havoc as far away as Asia. Long lines formed at grocery stores across the country. Shoppers hoarded essential items such as toilet paper and bottled water.

The strike ended one day after media organizations uncovered union president Harold Daggett’s luxurious lifestyle.

Daggett had vowed to “cripple” the U.S. economy if port bosses didn’t ban automation and raise dock workers’ pay by 75%.

Daggett referred to port bosses as “greedy”, and he said the dock workers were “fighting for our livelihoods.”

But according to reports, Daggett earns an annual salary of over $900,000, drives a Bentley, and lives in a 7,000 sq. ft. mansion with a 5-car garage. The mansion sits on 10 lush acres in an upscale New Jersey enclave.

An X.com user pointed out that Daggett wore a pair of Cartier glasses that retails for $1,245 in an interview with local news media.

Hours after his lifestyle was exposed, Daggett went back to the negotiation table with port bosses.

Daggett was once acquitted of federal racketeering charges in connection with alleged mafia ties.

One of Daggett’s co-defendants, a mob figure named Larry Ricci, was found dead in the trunk of a car during the trial.

Ricci’s attorney, Martin Schmukler, told the court Ricci was either abducted or killed. Ricci was acquitted after his death.

The federal government said Daggett had ties to the Genovese crime family, and the union has been accused of giving jobs to mobsters’ relatives and providing kickbacks.

Daggett denied everything in an interview with The NY Post.
