They will end up pricing themselves out of a job. NPR did a nice story on the Longshore strike out in California. The result of which will ultimately lead to other ports opening in places like Mexico and having the goods delivered from there via rail for significantly cheaper and more reliably.

I'm pretty sure that the river boat pilots in La make a lot more than anywhere else in the country.
It does indeed get very expensive for companies to have to pay and it probably has resulted in us losing businesses to other ports at times.

And yes, Heitmier did get his son hired as a pilot
