Thousands of dockworkers at key ports along the East and Gulf coasts are preparing to strike early next week, potentially shutting down major trade hubs that handle roughly half of the container goods moving in and out of the U.S. Talks between the dockworkers’ union and a shipping industry group representing terminal operators and ocean carriers have been at a standstill for months, with both sides releasing conflicting statements this week about their readiness to negotiate.
According to CBS News, the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) filed an unfair labor practice complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, seeking “immediate injunctive relief” to compel the union to return to the bargaining table, the alliance announced on Thursday.

The charge will be posted on the agency’s website in the coming days, after which an investigation will be initiated.
Top Biden administration officials, including Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, intervened with USMX members on Friday, pressing them to negotiate before the contract expires.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
