How many years did it take this guy to screw things up that bad? And where was the board of directors? These guys are costing us $2billion A DAY by shutting down the ports. And that number is expected to accelerate if the shutdown last more than a couple of weeks as various manufacturing industries SHUT DOWN because there's no where for their product to go. No matter how you slice it unions in general, and this union in particular SUCK ASS and a re killing this country. The sooner we wake up and put unions on the ashheap of history where they belong the better.

Do the math again, regarding the 10,500 times say $125,000 average per worker, I get less than 1.4 billion a year. Why are the owners of the shipping yards crippling the economy when they could satisfy the unions with less than one days' loss to pay all of the workers for the entire year?
