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?

"DEEP SEA LONGSHORE WORKERS – EARNINGS
During FY 2019-2020, deep-sea longshore workers (including checkers and special craft) were
paid $621,858,750.79, including regular overtime wages, vacation and holiday benefits. The chart
below reflects the earnings ranges of those longshore workers who perform work involving the
discharge or loading of general cargo vessels, and who comprise the “deep-sea register.” These
earnings, which are reported by the New York Shipping Association, Inc., do not include
additional container royalty payments.

EARNINGS RANGE # OF WORKERS

$400,000 to $450,000 41
$350,000 to $400,000 82

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?

I can climb up a ladder and operate a joystick. Are their DEI goals in place or close to being met yet?

How are the health benefits and paid maternity leaves? How many months of vacation a year?

They turned down a 50 percent raise. They are demanding a 77 percent raise and no automation ever. And they will both destroy the economy and ensure a Trump victory unless their demands are met.

Biden should use his authority to fire them all and fast-track a modern automated port system like those used in Europe and Asia. The fact that a cabal of morons can stop nearly all trade in the US is a systemic failure that needs to be corrected. And Democrats need to stop pandering to unions. They're all Trumpers anyway.

$39/hour for a max salary is chicken scratch for what those people have to endure. That’s around $75,000-$80,000 a year for back breaking work where you always the risk of having your skull, legs, or back caved in by a shipping container. Shame on you for thinking they’re being greedy in their demands.

This thread really brings to light how phony these supposed “Democrats” are on this board. These “Democrats” on here are mostly neoconservative Republicans who have libertarian social and cultural views. Not Democrats in my book at all.
