This is not even kinda true, I work on the docks and have been sitting in on the negations. Our docks are some of the best in the world from a production stand point. Turn off CNN. Very true we fighting against automation. lol I wish they offered a 300% increase in our retirement.The dock workers turned down an offer to increase wages by 50% and a tripling of employer contributions to their retirement plans yesterday. Our docks are deemed the least efficient in the world, but the union is fighting automation of any processes. Who knows how long this will drag on, and the citizens, once again, will suffer the consequences.
Thanks for weighing in. I grew up as a typical conservative and anti-union guy. But recently my views have changed, at least in some instances. The recent railway strike was one - I had no idea of the difficulties in taking sick days, as an example.This is not even kinda true, I work on the docks and have been sitting in on the negations.
