Good grief, if you haven't figured out that the reason all the jobs are leaving this country is because of the unions greed then what's it going to take for you to figure it out? $80 to $120 grand a year not enough for unskilled labor?
Could it be possible that CEO's taking salaries one thousand times these levels may be the reason the economy is in the tank?
Are you aware that the average CEO salary in this country is about $100,000 a year. Do you realize that is LESS than what a dockworker makes? Those multi-million dollar salaries that you see probably affect maybe 500 to 1,000 corporations.
Are you aware that by striking like they are, they are putting thousands of people out of work? Are you aware of how many farmers could lose everything because their crops are rotting on the wharfs? Oh well, what do you care, the little guy will go under and the big corporate farms will be the only ones left. If shipping becomes too expensive, then what industry is left in this country will move to where they don't have to worry about shipping strikes.
The only thing that surprises me more then the greed of the labor unions is the total stupidity of those who belong to unions. Talk about paying through the nose to get scr#wed.
