Fuck yeah! UNION STRONG!
Looking up the pay rates of these dock workers and they get paid less than I do as a Teamster.
All the bullshit I overhear says they are all millionaires lmao. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Pay for longshoremen is based on their years of experience. Under the ILA’s former contract with USMX, which expired on Monday, starting pay for dockworkers was $20 per hour. That rose to $24.75 per hour after two years on the job and to $31.90 after three years, topping out at $39 for workers with at least six years of service.

This is really interesting. I had always been told Longshoreman make $50 an hour average…
Maybe that’s with overtime or something. ILA top out at $39/hour.
The contract they want would be $69/hour after three years. That’s about $144,000/year.
I clearly should not have gone to college.
Well, that’s something. I resent having to vote for her to prevent him. But I’ll take what I can get. Support unions!
If you can hold the entire economy hostage, you’re not getting paid enough.
Yeah people really quick to blame essential workers.
100k a year? What a joke. Unless you already bought, you are never gonna get a house near a major docks with that salary.
We’re out here with the highest wealth inequality ever seen and you’re mad that a few folks actually have enough power to demand their fair share? Fuck off you 0.1% apologist.
A 77% increase over 6 years is 9.15% per year, which is quite good, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable.
You think thats bad, wait until you hear about the shareholders. They dont even have to pretend to work and they’ll be paid far more for their lack of trouble. The shareholders have had well in excess of a 77% pay rise and, despite that, want even more.
Crazy right? I bet that’s got you really annoyed, considering those are worse than the exact thing you were complaining about above…
Right?
Really interesting to see all the experts on TV. Just look them up… usually billionaire business owners. Very concerned with the impact on the small business and the average Americans… Uh-huh.
Oh yay. She’s not snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, that’s better than I expect from democrats
