International Longshoremen’s Association President Harold Daggett pushed back against concerns on the impacts his labor union’s port strike could have on the U.S. economy, claiming people “never gave a s*** about us” until the strike started.

Nicholas Wealth Management CEO David Nicholas explains how the port strike could affect the stock market and overall economy on 'Varney & Co.'

Time is running out to avoid a work stoppage at ports along the entire East and Gulf Coasts in what could become the most disruptive strike to the US economy in decades. Members of the International Longshoremen’s Association are set to go on strike at 12:01 am ET Tuesday at three dozen facilities spread across 14 port authorities.
