from what ive read the eastern longshoremen are notoriously lazy. there have been stories reported from union truckers that say tey dread hauling from those terminals...long delays and useless help. but since there union truckers they have to honor the picket lines.
alot of the longshoremen make between 100-200,000 per year with overtime. the crane operators earn about 300,000 per year.
i was union electrician so im not against union per say, but i think a 77% pay increase is absolutely outrageous. i say bring in automation and quicken things up.
out Costco ran out of TP and paper towels on day 1 of strike. mind you, i didnt go there for paper goods, i was just doing our usual monthly run. we dont need either of these products as my wife keeps a good supply normally.
i saw out gas price at the pump go up $.15 per gallon today opposed from yesterday due to Israel threatening to strike iran oil infrastructure. we DONT import iran oil. the gas in the station was purchased under todays prices, not future price. how can it go up in 1 day. everything is just nuts.
