>> Uh.....the average west coast dockworker makes 100K; not 170K The Pacific Maritime Association, manager of the ports, says an average full-time worker makes $147,000 a year, with very generous benefits (24%, according to the union) on top of that. So somewhere in the area of 170-180 sounds right for the typical worker. The union, of course, disagrees. But they'd say anything to further their cause. Given they are anti-labor, and certainly aren't trying to get new union members, their figures are solely for negotiating purposes. >> And here's what mgmt. makes... Management. Highly skilled. Longshoremen: Union laborers without meaningful skills. Really, it is a stupid argument. These are people who wouldn't be making this kind of money were it not for unions. That is pretty much case closed. If you need union thugs to get the pay rates up, they're overpaid.
