    The ILA is arguably the worst union in the country and calling it a union is a stretch. This isn’t a factory worker union fighting for safety rights and higher fair pay. The ILA chair makes $1M/yr and the avg longshoreman makes $200k+ on top of $50k/yr benefits, which is subsidized by tax money. Almost all union leadership was involved in a high level RICO case with the Genovese family. They are asking the government to restrict automation and to artificially prop up high paying jobs using taxpayer money - I am not joking, their demands are something like $300k/yr. The longshoreman union is unlike any other in the country and they’ve faced constant actual legal challenges from civilian law groups of which they’ve responded by using mob connections to kill civil lawyers

    Ok this season 2 of the wire

    The jersey and NY docks (especially on the jersey side) being run by the mob has been an open secret for decades. Thats where the tv shows/movies get it from, it's not just made up. Same with waste management being a large mob operation.

    Imagine arguing you need to be paid more than 200k a year. Our country is a joke.

    I’m 90% sure 70% of the workers are getting around 60-90k based on tenure and experience.

    That’s the going rate for the dock workers in my area

    They are just asking for robots to take over their nice six-figure jobs. It was going to happen anyway but this strike will force them to start implementing this technology faster

    this is a interesting opinion perspective for sure lol
