Harold Daggett is the union boss who has blatantly threatened to “cripple” the U.S. economy if ports don’t ban automation and raise dockworkers’ wages. Now, however, Daggett’s hypocrisy has been exposed as his own ritzy lifestyle has been revealed.
Just last month, the Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris was demanding that Americans “thank a union member” for a wide variety of privileges that we have. This comes after years of Democrats letting unions get completely out of control, and union leaders refusing to put America first.
This is shown by the lifestyle that Daggett is currently enjoying. Indeed, he is one union member that doesn’t deserve to be thanked for anything.
From The New York Post:
Photos taken by drone on Tuesday show the British luxury car (a Bentley) parked with its top up outside what appears to be a five-car garage that’s connected to his 7,136-square-foot, Tudor-style home by a covered skyway.The hulking, two-story mansion — located on a 10-acre property in Sparta, a leafy enclave 50 miles west of New York City — encircles a spacious backyard patio with an amoeba-shaped pool.
A covered outdoor bar is situated next to what appears to be a massive brick pizza oven. A gate on the far side of the patio opens toward what looks like a free-standing sauna surrounded by a spacious wooden deck. A expansive swath of forest surrounds the property on all sides. The posh compound is nestled in a picturesque section of the Garden State near the Delaware Water Gap, where five-bedroom homes list for as much as $6 million, according to Zillow.
Daggett’s Staggering Hypocrisy
Daggett has been president of the International Longshoremen’s Association since 2011. This gig comes with a salary of $728,000 annually on top of an additional $173,000 from ILA-Local 1804-1.
This comes just one month after Daggett gave a disturbing interview in the wake of it becoming apparent that the union and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX), the group negotiating for the ports, would fail to reach agreement on a new contract.
“They’re gonna be like this,” Daggett said, grabbing his neck in a choking gesture during an interview as it became apparent that the union and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX), the group negotiating for the ports, would fail to reach agreement on a new contract.
“I’ll cripple you. I will cripple you and you have no idea what that means. Nobody does,” he said.
Union leaders like Daggett claim to be out to help the little guy. In reality, they are oftentimes only out to help themselves and fill their own pockets.
The immense wealth that Daggett enjoys could come back to haunt Harris and her fellow pro-union Democrats. Indeed, it exposes their blatant hypocrisy.
After four years of Harris and Joe Biden being in power, the American economy is in shambles. Inflation is skyrocketing, and millions of American workers are struggling just to put food on the table. Meanwhile, union leaders like Daggett are living lives of luxury. While he threatens to “cripple” the U.S. economy even further if his woke demands aren’t met, Daggett gets to live in a multi-million dollar mansion.
The hypocrisy of liberals never ceases to amaze me.
