Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Is it 50% over 10 years or something like that? Edit: I just looked it up it's over 6 years which is 7% annual raises. This barely catches up to the past 3 years of inflation l not to mention as you work at a place you should be getting better and more useful so should be making more. 50% is a bare minimum offer and sounds like turning it down makes sense.
Over 6 years.
High-end longshoreman wages without overtime are currently around 81k, so that $200k figure is sensationalizing it.
And it shouldn't be necessary for anyone to work overtime just to make ends meet. Hell, it shouldn't be necessary for anyone to work overtime even to have a few nice things. The shipping companies can afford it, and they wouldn't be making billions in the first place if it wasn't for the workers.
Yeah people against unions tend to leave out the important bits. It’s a car salesman trick and clearly it’s not working.
