Demanding a 77% wage increase is a little ridiculous. I understand the fear of automation too, but that’s also unrealistic. As a guy who spent a fair bit of time working in the ports I say F’em. They are the most entitled time wasting pricks I have dealt with.
RockinChair, Gearjammin' Penguin, Rideandrepair and 5 others Thank this. -
The only thing I potentially see good coming from this is overall America is about to get real close look at how important the supply chain is in this country as they just seem to think things magically appear on their store shelves and truckers are just out there to get in their way on the roads. Maybe it’ll lead to a little more basic respect out there.
Rideandrepair and Deere hunter Thank this. -
No love for the Container drivers.
They in trouble.
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
Rideandrepair Thanks this.

How many of the companies hauling containers are unionized? A non-union employee “striking” for higher pay just means they’ll be replaced. Non-union company owners can’t just get together and decide to walk away from their contracts. I mean, they can, I’d hate to see the legal bill associated with that move though.
Rideandrepair and Deere hunter Thank this. -
Rideandrepair, Deere hunter and blairandgretchen Thank this.
