You mean like the same way American truckers complain about Mexican truckers coming into the U.S. and doing the work of Americans. I guess they didn’t teach you anything about the living conditions of the American seaman before unions, If you don;t know, I’ll tell you. They were only slightly above slavery. But I guess they never taught you that at CMA.

Well, in part due to the unions, we barely have any American seamen and thus they don't have any living conditions at all.

Excuse me, but what does that have to do with the fact that the primary intent of the Jones Act was to protect unions?
