The more of it that you have, the less there is for someone else… or that's the conventional wisdom anyway. Erik Helgeson's experience, however, proves otherwise. Erik, 42, is the vice-chair of the Swedish Dockworkers' Union and he cared deeply for the security of his members – and also for the safety of Gazan civilians, some of whom have been killed by weapons which may have passed through the port of Gothenburg, where he has worked for 20 years.

The Swedish government continues to trade arms with Israel. Exports are relatively small, totaling $4.5 million in 2023, but imports are much more significant: the Swedish defence forces have signed contracts to import more than $200 million in arms from Israel, including from two of Israel’s largest arms companies, Elbit and Rafael—both implicated in supplying weaponry used in Gaza.

Under my [the #Biden] Administration, #unemployment has been the lowest in 50 yrs, a record 19M new businesses have been created, & #inflation & #InterestRates are falling. And we’re seeing the power of #CollectiveBargaining to lift up #workers’ wages—including the progress made by #dockworkers on record #wages w/carriers, & #port operators & the reopening of East Coast & Gulf #ports.

THE #DOCKWORKERS’ FIGHT IS EVERYONE’S FIGHT: If union members can’t stop #automation from taking their #jobs, what chance do the rest of us have?
