[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm with the strikers even though I'm a white collar professional making $150k.  I totally get it.

I also agree that white collar professions are highly prejudiced v blue collar workers thinking they are somehow less important, intelligent, worthy of x salary.

I actually encourage my kids to go into a trade.  Blue collar very much about physical expertise.  I don't agree that white collar professions are any better or harder than blue collar jobs and depending on the type of job it is I actually think you come out ahead in the trades.  And intelligence and. Common sense are applicable to individuals not what they do for a living.

That all being said, I do think the dock workers have a real concern over the physical labor they do being taken over by machines.  It's not a career choice that makes much sense.  [/quote]
Wake up. This isn’t fixing a toilet washer.

Shipping crane operates make $200-300k a year union job only protections and have for decades. It’s a highly trained job with high insurance costs too.  They don’t need to be striking but doing it now with weak Biden is Nothing to lose, everything to gain. And BS.[/quote]
