re: After finding out the longshoremen make 200k with overtime...and their mob boss 1 million+

I always love uneducated post like these. Over the last 20 years CEO pay has went from 1 million a year to 30 million plus a year.

Let’s say you are correct and CEO’s are getting over paid. That would be wrong. Why would it be good to enact a second wrong by overpaying the workers also.

...and that they want a 70% pay hike and zero progress toward automation like other countries have now...

I AM 100% FOR AUTOMATION...
These mob assholes are gonna hold this country hostage and laugh about it, and Biden as said he will not stop them, simply to get union votes....I hope they automate EVERYTHING and fire them all.

In every single blue collar work environment, they always hit you with the baseline entry level pay. They dont mention all the hours of OT or the hours logged that they didnt work that the boss let slide etc.

This is the same for the plant guys etc.

The funny thing is when you hang out with these fellas, they start with the 200K year a salary in a public environment.

Liars, greedy, living above means.

Not an opinion.

I'm for these guys making good money. 60% increase over 10yrs seems like a lot. Crane operators I think should make some coin, but if run of the mill drivers at the port and such are making that much money....that's crazy.

I don't like automating all this stuff. I'd rather people and families make a living instead of a machine taking people's jobs.

Longshoreman better learn how to code with demands like that

They top out at $39 after 6 years

if a longshoreman is making $200,000 a year he is working ridiculous overtime and has no life outside work.

1/3 make $200K or more. That $200K will jump to $354K per year in salary alone if they get the raise they're bleating for.

give them their raise, then automate them out of their jobs, that way the people will not be harmed

---

Part of their request is no automation. You think they wont just go back on strike if any progress is made towards automation?

They're asking for a 77% increase over 7 years.

One of the problems with unions (I have been on both sides of the union/management situation, luckily in a right to work state.) is that there is little incentive to move up or excel at your job. You could work twice as hard as the guy next to you and not benefit from it at all. Also the pay gap between the wore skilled positions is usually not enough to attract talented people to fill those positions. The crane operator should make close to double what the lower level workers do, but in reality it's probably more like 30%.

I don't like forcing businesses to not innovate their companies while our competitors overseas are lightyears ahead of us in technology and efficiency. There are hundreds of thousands of unfilled skilled labor jobs in America. There is no reason to hold back innovation to protect workers.

They played themselves. We need automation now more than ever.

Bring on the robots.

I didn't know automation was an issue for these fricking people until this strike and the ridiculous amount of money they're asking for, but I know now. They should've kept that part quiet. No one gives a shite about these frickers now.

Automate these shitbirds out of existence.
