4. Aches and pains
5. Short term memory loss
6. Social Security at age 62 to 67

Our (USA) Ports are, from multiple sources, arguably the most inefficient in the world. We don't work 24/7 and we don't employ as much automation as other countries.
The strike is on the basis of stopping any more automation (we already employ less than other countries), among other things.
The union leader has said "I will cripple you." Same union leader makes $1 million annually. Has alleged ties to mafia. Makes massive donations to Democrats.
Hard to root for the unions here.

You seem angry. Why, I don't know as I never said what you apparently think I said.

Higher wages are one of the factors that drive inflation. It's simply a fact. What we do with that knowledge, if anything, is a whole other discussion.....but it's a fact.

Not angry, and I understand inflation, I just disagree with many on here that working class Americans and the longshoremen in particular are “greedy” because they want a good living in exchange for their time and labor. That’s all

Truck drivers do quite a bit better than avg associates. Mgrs can make more depending on the store and their abilities. I've had opportunity at union trucking jobs but just can't bring myself to screw the rest of society by driving up the cost of goods and services to benefit myself. Sounds too much like government fiscal policy.

I'm quite aware of what all hourly Walmart associates are and can be paid. And if I don't know I can walk into the living room and ask her. She's friends will all of the people leads in IN and OH.

Screwing the rest of society lol
Now that's funny.
The Jealous Haters here are gonna hate.
