The average dock worker earns $300,000/yr!!! I have an advanced degree and work in public service and I don’t earn that much! These are basically knuckleheads with no education who operate equipment, they’re overpaid as it is.

This is political interference. The DoJ needs to look into this immediately.

Boo Hoo. Hard physical work that provides the commodities and manufactured products necessary for civilization makes more money than your non-essential, sap sucking, parasitic, sloppy, slovenly “work” probably remotely performed in your PJs.

The AVERAGE worker? Bullshit they do. I say this coming from an east coast multi generation longshoreman family (uncles, parent, grandparents, etc).

When I was a little girl my friends father was crushed at work on the docks by a container that fell on him. It wasn’t an isolated event; it happened multiple times I remember from my childhood. My uncle worked as a lasher for 20 years. He has back, shoulder and neck problems from the difficult highly repetitive dangerous work he did. Yes he made a good living and has a pension but it wasn’t $300k even with bonuses (more like $150k MAX and that includes bonuses). But he’s got chronic pain and has had five surgeries since retirement 10 years ago.

Would you give up the ability to walk for $150k a year? To drive, and swim, and hunt?

Your whole posts tells me you don’t have any working class ppl in your family. Maybe don’t participate in the discussion if you don’t have the facts.

10000%

This makes a really good case for automation.

The same people who think coal is coming back and vote for Trump based on that, is why the US will go to sh*t. You keep talking about "migrants" destroying America? It seems the "real Americans" are the ones with an archaic mentality from infrastructure, to education, to climate, to women's rights. People who bleat about "western values" appear to be the ones who can't see that a lot of those Eastern values are applied towards building up their countries to compete in a global economy while you sit there obsessing over immigrants eating pets.

Yes repeal Jones act or instigate Taft Hartley today and this all goes away. They keep their high comp and benies from last year’s extortion.

I'll go slower: The very people who whine about immigration, are the same people who are the reason for America's demise. The types of people who are regressive in their stances. Trump tells low-skill "real Americans" that coal is coming back. They voted against their own interests. Obama had earmarked millions to retrain coal miners so that they could actually compete in a world leaving them behind. They rejected his offer. Same situation with these dock workers and others who stupidly support policies against their own interests. Automation is coming whether they like it or not, so if you're getting offered retraining at some point and you'd rather listen to an orange pos liar tell you he's fighting for you rather than the CEOs looking to screw you over, then don't whine about being poor.

I'm writing in English. The fact that you mock me by saying what you did, only further confirms how the average American tends to be so darned proud of being less educated. They think multilingualism is a bad thing.

The irony is that automation will make the port safer for workers.
