Whatever idiot allowed these morons to get their average salary up to $120k per year ought to be put in jail. There is no way that they are worth that much. None of these guys ought to be making more than $25 an hour. I think we ought to encourage the Mexican government to put up three or four ports down along the west coast of Mexico and divert 80 percent of all US requirement to south of the border. None of their dock workers get more than $6 an hour. For some idiot to claim they deserve $120k a year for unloading a boat....just doesn't pass the judgement test. And then there is the old-boy deal where you get your son or daughter into the same union and they get the same deal. This is what hurts the entire union.

I think what happened was that as technology advanced (like container shipping) the number of jobs declined radically. One compromise worked out was to pay the remaining workers a higher salary. $120k a year is a very good income, however this is the West Coast where a home often costs $300k or more.

A Freeper Challenge!!!

To: Mo1; William McKinley; yall; Grampa Dave

Would one of you gifted people help me out?

I'd like to make a donation challenge for everyone who wants the Tag Line feature re-instated, without e-mail linking, and I will match the total new monies donated to FreeRepublic, up to $500 total to get this done.

Can someone make up what tables or whatever you do, so I can do some thread bombing with this challenge? Thanks a bunch. JL

Lodwick wants people who want the "tagline" back to make a donation! He'll match the first $500 worth of donations made by people who clamor for this functionality to be returned. Make the donation, then come to the Fundraiser thread and reply to lodwick and John Robinson saying "I just donated $xxx and I want the taglines back!"
