In terms of the actual work being done, you could hardly find two occupations more dissimilar than filling prescriptions in a hospital or drug store and stevedoring the huge shipping containers that move through the country’s ports 24 hours a day.
But, ever since last spring, pharmacy workers and longshoremen on the East Coast of the U.S. have shared at least one common trait — their association with organized labor organizations whose objectives and hardball tactics too often have more to do with empowering union leaders than benefiting the rank and file.
Case in point, workers at ports from Maine to Texas staged a three-day strike the first week of October over wages and the threat posed by automation before finally settling for a 62 percent pay raise over six years.

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.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
