[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love the union leaders Bentley. Keep paying those 10% of paycheck dues folks! $39/hr to be an 18 yo dockworker. Nice![/quote]

Again $39 is the top wage. No one under 40 is making that. Several cites to this above. Speaking of which, where are the cites to the average longshoremen making $300k a year? Someone keeps insisting this is so. The math just isn’t there. Even at the top rate of $39 a hour with a ton of overtime they aren’t going much above 6 figures. Where did this myth begin?[/quote]

Awesome

Not a lot of workers

How do I get in to this line of work? What do I need to study or what physical things do I need to pass?

who can I do informational with or talk to about training or hiring cycles?

Do I need to bribe some long term shipyard owners or union workers? How much money? [/quote]
