@James_West_PhD@ThomasHoufek No one gets paid to sit at home. If they are home they don’t have work for the day, it’s not that complicated. Oh but the news said so! They’ll give a PhD to anyone these days huh?
@scottlincicome This article is comical. This job is a shape job. Everyone doesn’t go to work everyday. Some people who are a longshoremen stay home for months without work. Container royalties are distributed once a year and for the first 10 years it’s capped. It’s not a lot of money…
@mdahl007 @Arkypatriot@JesseKellyDC 7% of ports are automated. The men are faster than automation. It’s the infrastructure of the old ports and getting the truckers out of the terminals into the warehouses that are the problem…
But that’s what the news told you 🤡
@MariaOmeara13 The president of 85,000 workers made under a million dollars a year. I think he is underpaid.
Why is this an issue??
A backup kicker in the NFL makes millions and no one gives a shit
@Zankokuna333@TooMuchSassForX@elonmusk@tomselliott We’re not asking for a million dollars. Most longshoremen make 60-80k particularly the southern states. HCOL port areas is where you are seeing the 100k+ salaries
@RagingGreek2 Well then they would need a decades long infrastructure wipe out and rebuild to improve the efficiency at my area.
The real winners will be these foreign shipping lines making 90 billions dollars a year
Maybe your taxes can increase and help pay for the foreigners project
@RagingGreek2 Fully automated terminals still have 1000s of employees. Hopefully yours doesn’t get replaced by AI & automation. Weird thing to support. Is it envy? Jealousy?
