While your statement is true about unionism trends, your statement does not address the gist of my argument. The longshoremen’s union and other unions have a tight grip on west coast shipping. A few years ago they had a very damaging strike. The west coast ports and union monopoly need competition. If you have facts to dispute the impact of the union monopoly on west coast ports, please present them.
So you want to bust down American workers with Mexican competition. Right?
That's like you going to Home Depot and getting some illegal alien Mexican day laborers to do some work on your house instead of hiring Americans
I have even a better idea. Lets get some Mexican business professors and get them on a fast track to accreditation to teach in American universities, I think business professors are paid too much and the Mexicans do better at one third the pay
Any sane economist (not saying you are one) will say to himself--> When a nation is running an 850 billion dollar trade deficit that's a sign that tariffs and/or other measures are needed. Not new ports in Mexico for even more Chinese/Asian .imports.
