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

John, you are a fig and I suspect you are from DU.

This is worse than Hollywood writers striking over expanding use of AI because folks actually NEED the ports to be open in order to survive.

That is false. There are local ILA chapters and each have their own pay scale. The President of ILA970 makes $170k/year. Are you arguing that the field workers are making more than him? Or are you just not aware that the contract you're referring is ONLY for that local ILA chapter and that there actually isn't a "master contract" which blankets the entire East Coast and Gulf states? I'm going for that last part.

Weird because here is the Master Contract

You have posted multiple times on this thread but provided ZERO links to any of your claims. You want to run your mouth and argue with the information others are posting with links though. And then you have the audacity to say:

If you can show me even half of the rest making anything close to that....then I'll conceed.

I don't need to show you shite. I've linked the info I'm referencing. Your source appears to be "Trust me bro." You're spouting off about how there "actually isn't a 'master contract'" when I just linked the master contract. So how about you provide those local ILA chapters' pay scales?

That’s exactly how a DU fig would post. You post pro Trump stuff but your true colors come out over Israel and unions.

I was very specific that I was repeating what Larry Kudlow had just said on FBN.

I just found where you’re getting this number from. That’s how much they make on the west coast. Those ports are still open. Those longshoremen are part of a different Union.

No.
You didn't find where I "got that number from."

I "got that number from" ...

" The WATERFRONT COMMISSION OF NEW YORK HARBOR ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020"

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.

"Our members top out at $39 (per hour). We are looking for a 77%, close to 77% increase over the next seven years. When you look at the cost of inflation that's more than reasonable,"

Each union member should have to disclose who they voted for in 2020.

Cool. Now do the math.

Here's the full 80 page Master Contract that doesn't exist.

The previous link was the 8 page memorandum, this is the whole thing.

Some interesting notes:

The straight time wage is ONLY for work between 8am-noon and 1pm-5pm, Monday through Friday. Any hours worked outside of that are paid at a higher differential.

Container Royalties - a royalty fee per ton processed that is paid out to workers. According to the longshoreman reddit page, they don't talk about this though because of the "public perception."

I am not bitching. I am very happy with my life. I worked 1 year as a ICU Nurse out of school making 60k then started travel Nursing making 120k plus since I was 24 years old. I am almost 40 and could retire tomorrow. Working 36 hours a week feels like part time. That does not mean you let people take advantage of you. That's why we did something about it and unionized. The CEO resigned, got a divorce a year later and left the state. He was a greedy POS. I have no problem with CEOs making money. When you take away a $3.00/hr raise claiming the hospital made no profit and it turns out you lied and gave yourself a million dollar bonus you are a greedy POS
