Daggett is a critic of the Joe Biden administration, and in 2024 he threatened to “cripple” the American economy before the November election via an ILA strike at ports on the Atlantic seaboard and Gulf Coasts.[6][10] Daggett was a lead figure in the strike, which began on October 1, 2024.[4] It was the first port strike on the East Coast since 1977.[11] The ILA demanded a pay raise and a freeze to automation at East Coast and Gulf Coast ports. Longshoremen earned a top wage of $39 per hour (average American hourly wage was $28.34 at the time) and under Daggett’s proposed contract, that top wage would have been moved to $69 per hour with a roughly 60% increase in pay over 6 years.[12][13] The ILA also demanded a 77% increase in wages over a six-year contract.[11]

The Justice Department has lost two cases against Daggett, in which he was accused of being an associate of the Genovese crime family.[9]
