Let's not bring in more goods through Mexico, let's allow 750 clerks to shut down 40% of our cargo traffic.

NAFTA superhighway, now!

Look for the Union Label ping!

Under their most recent contract, full-time, port clerical workers earned about $37.50 an hour, or $78,000 a year. They also receive a pension, health care benefits free of premiums, and 20 paid holidays a year.

No doubt dragnet2 thinks these workers could be earning more working on a manufacturing assembly line. After all, services just don't pay.

WTF!!! Fire every last one of the idiots. Making 78K a year with all of those other perks...for clerical work...and that's not enough for them?

Offer them $100.00 per hour with stipulating at the end of the contract they must cut 50 % of their work force and modernize.

After 10 years it will be worth it.

Plus, the union thugs would sell their "union brothers" out in heartbeat.

Less traffic on the 710 freeway!

Just close the damn port and send all those containers back where they came from, problem(s) solved.

I could be mistaken, but I believe there are lots of Angelinos, willing to do the Jobs these Americans won’t do.

For a ton less money.
