Port strike: How much does the union boss leading the charge make?

Harold Daggett is leading the dockworkers' strike, demanding fairer compensation and protection from automation

The outspoken union leader behind gridlock at America's East and Gulf Coast ports took home more than $900,000 last year, between a combined $728,000 salary from the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and another $173,000 from ILA Local 1804-1 in North Bergen, New Jersey, data shows.

ILA President Harold J. Daggett remains at the center of discussion over the port strike that threatens to wound the U.S. economy with shortages and price hikes if not resolved soon.

Gridlocked with the U.S. Maritime Alliance (USMX) after a six-year-long contract expired at midnight Tuesday, the thousands of ILA dockworkers launched the union's first strike in nearly 50 years.

Their terms to reach an agreement are protection from port automation to prevent potential job loss and increased compensation.

Daggett, who was elected president of the ILA in 2011, is now serving his fourth four-year term after working more than 60 years in the industry. 

Speaking to FOX Business' Lydia Hu on Tuesday, he doubled down on his demands on behalf of the laborers he represents.

"It's long overdue," he said of the strike.

"Things were rough back then [in 1977]. We went on strike for $0.80. The companies only made like 5 to $10 million, but since COVID and before COVID 'til now, they're making billions and billions of dollars. It's a whole different story, but they don't want to share it. They'd rather see a fully automated terminal right here on the East Coast so they can make more money. They're money-crazy," he added.

He emphasized the union is fighting for jurisdiction, health, wages and more.

Daggett was also named president emeritus of the ILA Local 1804-1, where he served as president for 14 years before stepping down in 2011, and from which he still receives a salary.

Netflix Cancellations Tripled After CEO Backed Harris

Netflix Cancellations Tripled After CEO Backed Harris

Netflix cancellations in the U.S. almost tripled after the company's CEO and chairman, Reed Hastings, announced he was backing Kamala Harris' bid for president, though most axed their accounts because the streaming giant killed its basic plan, reports Bloomberg.

Customers canceled their subscription at a rate of 2.8% in July — higher than any other month since February.

Hastings endorsed Harris on July 22 after she officially became the Democrat nominee.

"Congrats to Kamala Harris — now it is time to win," Hastings wrote in a post on X.

A day later, he told The Information that he donated $7 million to a pro-Harris super PAC.

Trump supporters quickly urged people to drop the service alongside the hashtag #CancelNetflix. Three days after Hastings' donation was reported Netflix subscriptions dipped dramatically — it was the single worst day for terminations in 2024, per Bloomberg.

Netflix on July 19 said it was removing its cheapest ad-free plan for subscribers in the U.S. and France

Hispanic Voters in 2024: A Transforming Bloc for Trump and the Republicans

Hispanic Voters in 2024: A Transforming Bloc for Trump and the Republicans

Key data on Hispanic voters eligible in 2024 highlights the rapid growth of this electorate. Since the 2020 presidential election, the number of eligible Hispanic voters in the U.S. has increased by nearly 4 million. By 2024, an estimated 36.2 million Hispanics will be eligible to vote, up from 32.3 million in 2020. This accounts for half of the total growth in eligible voters nationwide during this period. Each year, approximately 1.4 million Hispanic Americans turn 18, becoming eligible to vote and significantly boosting the Hispanic voter base.

While Donald Trump saw increased Hispanic support in 2020, a majority (59%) still voted for Joe Biden, according to a Pew Research Center analysis. Historically, Hispanic voter turnout has lagged behind other racial and ethnic groups, but their increasing numbers could shape future elections. Projections from the U.S. Census Bureau show that the Hispanic electorate continues to expand, with demographic data available for in-depth analysis. This growing voting bloc will play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the 2024 election and beyond. A Quinnipiac national poll shows Trump leading among Hispanic voters with 52% compared to his opponent’s 44%.

Hispanics, a key voting demographic in the U.S., have traditionally supported the Democratic Party. 

However, recent elections have seen a shift, with more Hispanics backing Republican candidates, including Trump. Several factors may explain this trend and why it could continue in 2024, potentially aiding Trump’s return to the White House.


Many Hispanic voters list the economy as their top priority, with some believing that Republican policies are better for job creation, tax cuts, and economic stability. During Trump’s presidency, some Hispanics felt they benefited from strong economic growth and low unemployment, which led to increased Republican support.

Social issues, including religion, abortion, and family values, significantly influence the political views of many Hispanics. With a large portion of the Hispanic population identifying as Catholic or Evangelical Christian, these voters often align with the conservative positions of the Republican Party, especially as the Democratic Party adopts more progressive stances.

Some Hispanics feel alienated from the Democratic Party, viewing it as overly focused on issues like climate change or identity politics, which don’t resonate with their everyday concerns. Others feel that the Democratic Party has taken their support for granted without delivering on key issues such as immigration reform.

Trump’s appeal to working-class voters, including many Hispanics, stems from his outsider status and willingness to challenge the political establishment. His populist rhetoric, emphasis on economic nationalism, and firm stance on border security resonate with Hispanic voters who prioritize law and order or feel left behind by globalization.

'He impregnated his kid's nanny': Psaki ripped after claiming Emhoff 'reshaped' masculinity Doug Emhoff publicly admitted last month to having an affair during his first marriage

'He impregnated his kid's nanny': Psaki ripped after claiming Emhoff 'reshaped' masculinity

Doug Emhoff publicly admitted last month to having an affair during his first marriage

 

MSNBC host Jen Psaki asked Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff about redefining the view of masculinity by openly supporting his wife Vice President Kamala Harris.

Social media critics are dragging second gentleman Doug Emhoff for his previously admitted affair with his family’s nanny after he joined MSNBC host Jen Psaki for an interview where he was lauded for reshaping "the perception of masculinity."

"​​Psaki to Doug Emhoff: ‘You reshaped the perception of masculinity’ PS: He impregnated his kid's nanny," popular conservative X account End Wokeness posted Sunday

The account was reacting to a snippet from Emhoff’s interview with Psaki, who previously served as President Biden’s White House press secretary before joining MSNBC, where Psaki heaped praise on Emhoff for reshaping masculinity.

"There is also an important, interesting part about how people have talked about your role is how your role has reshaped the perception of masculinity," Psaki said. "I’m not sure you planned on that, but you are an incredibly supportive spouse. Has that been an evolution for you? Do you think that’s part of the role you might play as first gentleman?"

"It’s funny. I’ve started to think a lot about this. I’ve always been like this. My dad’s always been like this. To me, it’s the right thing to do, support women. It is mutual with Kamala and I. We support each other, we have each other’s back," Emhoff responded. 

He added, "I’ve said many times when we lift up women, we support women, whether it’s pay equity, child care, family leave, and all of these issues in this post-Dobbs hellscape. Women should not be less than. Women should not have less rights and be treated differently. That’s not the American way."

Clips of the exchange spread like wildfire on social media as critics cited that just last month, Emhoff admitted to having an affair with his family’s nanny during his first marriage years ago. The nanny’s close friend claimed to the media that the nanny became pregnant during the affair with Emhoff, but did not keep the baby. 

Critics also slammed Psaki for the "softball interiew."

"Emhoff also once impregnated his child's nanny. Jen still says she's a journalist," Fox News contributor Joe Concha posted on X in reaction to the clip. 

Psaki continued in the interview that aired Sunday by asking Emhoff if he's familiar with "a pop-culture phrase, ‘wife guy,’ which you’ve kind of been known as."

"I have heard about it," Emhoff said.

"A ‘wife guy,’ a ‘proud wife guy.’ How do you feel about it?" she asked.

Emhoff joked, "If I do something annoying to Kamala, and she gets upset, I’ll just show her that article."

Emhoff admitted to having an affair with his family's nanny shortly after the Daily Mail published a report in August that he got his daughter's nanny pregnant. The nanny's close friend told the outlet that she did not keep the baby, but did not elaborate further. 

The affair with a nanny occurred before Emhoff's relationship with and eventual marriage to Harris. 

"During my first marriage, Kerstin and I went through some tough times on account of my actions. I took responsibility, and in the years since, we worked through things as a family and have come out stronger on the other side," Emhoff said over the summer, acknowledging the affair, but not naming the nanny.

Emhoff and his first wife, Kerstin Emhoff, were married from 1992 to 2008 and share two adult children. Harris married Emhoff in 2014, and helped co-parent his children, who call their stepmom "mommala." 

The divorce cited "irreconcilable differences" as the motivation behind parting ways, the New York Post reported.

Harris knew about the affair before they married, and the Biden 2020 campaign knew about it when it was vetting her for Biden's vice presidential pick.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign for comment on the interview and social media reactions as well as for comment on the affair itself, but did not immediately receive a response.
