VERBATIM: Mr. Trump posted on social media that he met with union leaders and that any further “automation” of the ports would harm workers. He wrote that the “amount of money saved is nowhere near the distress, hurt, and harm it causes for American Workers.” The International Longshoremen’s Association has until January 15 to negotiate a new contract with the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which represents ports and shipping companies.
