[QUOTE="Sissy Brown Short Shorts, post: 5031366, member: 67435"] UPS is already a 24/7 operation. Asking companies to go 24/7 will just increase prices even more because of the extra payroll, overtime and benefits these companies will have to pay off. The supply chain problem is a direct consequence of Biden’s terrible economic policies, such as paying people more to stay home on unemployment then to go get jobs. 10,000,000 open jobs in this country and jobless claims rose again last week and dumping trillions into the economy causing record inflation. Of course like always he blames private companies other than himself. Of the top 500 ports in the world for efficiency the US has NOT ONE port on that list. We’re not automated, not modernized and they don’t run 24/7 most importantly though these docks have to pay absolutely outrageous wages and benefits to union workers. Longshoremen make like 175k a year with a full benefit package and the docks are hindered by contractual obligations that stop them from being the most efficient. Until you fix that working 24/7 won’t do a thing. It’s the same thing that happened to the domestic steel industry in the 70s and 80s, gouged by unions and unable to keep up with competition.
