[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is about unions trying to sabotage the economy in order to throw the election to trump. That’s ALL this is.

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.
