<<I have kept my commentary about the longshoremen situation to a minimum for a reason. I have a very strong bias against unions, not only philosophically but also from experience>> the longshoremen are not what they used to be.
It is all hi-tech, these fellows are highly trained; no way you have people walk in from the street to replace these people.
Also i will give you the FLIP side of your experience.
I worked at a class 7 level Steel Union job during the summers when going to college in the very early 60s and guess what i got paid for one brutal and dangerous job(this specific job i had was listed in the top 5 hardest jobs in the world at that time) as a Lidsman on an old Bee-Hive Coke Furnace. I got paid 2.75 an hour.So you bloody well know what i think of your views. Max p.s. JB, if curious, it was the Alan Wood Steel Mill in West Conshocken, Pennsylvania--long since closed down.
