You mean and modernizing and automating the loading equipment?
BTW, your suggested link's title is something about "crony capitalism raises its ugly head." Really?
That’s an interesting twist, indeed. It doesn’t alter the fact that the new contractor is union and now they are fighting with each other. Nor, does it alter the kidnapping and terrorizing of private security guards, vandalism and more.
So in your mind EGT is somehow wrong for trying to run it’s business profitably. Did EGT do anything illegal? Did they break any contracts that they’d commited to?
Well cupcake..
The union thugs did do damage, commit violent acts, and break laws. They should go to jail and the union pay restitution.
If you union pinheads do enough damage to the firms you service, eventually they will go out of business or move elsewhere. Then, good luck finding a job - let alone a featherbed overpaid gig aka a union job.
You are all damn fools.... lazy, narrowminded, uneducated, pompous, and braindead fools.
Oh, by the way, after 35 years in engineering management, I have yet to see ANY value in unions... NONE. Basically the incompetent led by the criminal.
They should settle this dispute in court. If the union is correct, they would get the wages as damages they would have otherwise earned without having to lift a finger.
I wonder if the dispute is about the possibility that the trains are unloaded at the port and then loaded onto the ships using some automated system. If a man does not have to actually handle the product, is it longshore work?
