Re: "Big difference between minimum wage and what some of the dockworkers make."

That's my point.

Issue here isn't about wages, it's about the longshoremen combatting the odious corporate practice of weakening unions through job reclassifications and the like. UAW and the automakers have been fighting this fight for many years. Other sectors, too.

Wouldn't you agree with me that America is stronger if 50 people each make $40,000 a year as opposed to two people earning $760,000 a year and the other 48 earning 10 grand annually?
