Well I’d love to see a 10% increase every year for the next 6 years. Just plain greed by holding the nation for their extreme gains.

I PICK THINGS UP AND I PUT THEM DOWN.

Well shipping companies profits quadrupled during the pandemic, so... (and the FTC is worried about the extra $1 or $2 grocery stores temporarily captured during the pandemic).

The latest offer would raise the base hourly rate for ILA port workers to $63 from $39 over six years, the people familiar with the matter said. One of the people said the offer is being made on the condition that dockworkers go back to work and agree to efficiency gains.

The offer is less than the union demand for an increase of 77% over the term of the contract but a far larger increase than most major labor contracts, including a contract reached last year covering the separate union representing West Coast longshore workers. Many U.S. dockworkers currently earn more than a $100,000 a year, with baseline hourly wages boosted by work rules and overtime requirements.

The strike has been suspended for now. Workers got a 62% pay raise.

This piece notes that starting pay is around $20/hr. Top pay is about $81,000 although 1/3 of workers around New York make $200K in part because they work around 100 hours/wk.

Not sure the banana hoarding works so well, but your wine comment makes me think I should go stock up for the holidays.
