Petition: Demand Fair Pay for Port Workers While Shipping Giants Soar in Profits

While shipping corporations raked in record-breaking pandemic profits—some surging over 800%—port workers saw none of those gains. Now, 45,000 unionized workers are staging a powerful strike, the first of its kind on the East Coast since 1977. Their demand? Fair wages and dignified working conditions.

These workers are essential to our supply chains and economy. Yet while executives enjoy soaring bonuses, the people moving our goods are underpaid and undervalued. It’s time to stand with them.

President Biden has called for “meaningful increases” in wages, but port operators continue to stall. Shipping companies can afford to pay fairly—they’re choosing not to.

Don’t let corporations silence this movement. Stand for economic justice. Stand for people over profit.

Sign the petition now to demand fair treatment for port workers. Their fight is our fight. Sign the petition now. Share it widely. They need us.
