Longshoremen average pay of $106,883 money.cnn.com excerpt: ILWU members are among the best-paid blue-collar workers in the nation. PMA figures show longshoremen earned an average of $82,895 last year, while clerks earned an average of $118,844 and foremen, who are members of the union, earned an average of $157,352. Almost 30 percent of union members in the longshoremen classification work less than 1,600 hours a year, equivalent to 40 hours a week for 40 weeks. Only a bit more than half work 2,000 or more hours, which is essentially full-time employment across the year. Those working 2,000 or more hours had average pay of $106,883 in 2001, according to PMA.

I've seen the average pay of 100k printed several times in the Bay Area. The thing I haven't seen, is whether it includes benefits. Years ago when I worked for a municipality, our 'salaries' were printed in the local newspaper each year (to show how over-paid we were), but they included benefits which almost doubled my reported income to the general public. It never seemed to make it to my bank account though. Rob
