Nice in theory, but a large number of dockside warehouses are locked into long-term contracts with unions. The longshoreman and unionized trucking lines conspired together to keep out the competition in RICO fashion.

The west coast longshoreman's union are planning another strike after June 30 to enforce their grip on commerce. We've already moved our inbound shipments to the east coast, which is also unionized but nowhere near as thuggish as the west coast.

I’m not just talking about truckers and the port...I’m taking where all this has been going for years now and that’s independent contractors...

From truckers to taxis, to construction workers, and everything else...They’ll eventually put the longshore unions out of biz...

Private sector unions are dying and have been for years. In fact there are now more unionized government employees, than in *all* of private sector America....
