I Wish I Were A Union Longshorman!

[BLAZER PROPHET]

In their current union negotiations they are demanding $64.75/hr. That's $134,680 per year, excluding overtime.

Seems like a lot of money.

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I make $495 an hour. But then again, I only work 2 hours per year.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

yeah, but these guys always make this much. pretty crazy.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

And it seems like they're always on strike!!

If the American Public had any idea how much money they make, and how they have so much impact on consumer pricing.... It's ridiculous. These guys have America by the balls.

Everyone rips on lawyers and public employees. Fuck man, the longshoremen should be the butt of jokes.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I know what the fuck is up with these strikes. SPORTSTWO.COM CHEATS THE COMMUNITY. ON STRIKE! :MARIS61:

If they're so unhappy with their high compensation that they can afford to strike in these current economic times....... fire their asses and give the jobs to those in need (and who would likely work for far less).

My supervisor was showing me his property tax statement. 18% is added to all property taxes to go directly to PERS retirement program. It's the single largest expenditure of property taxes towards any single entity.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

its a ticking time bomb.

Here ya go, Zags. Right up your alley.....

Their OT rate is up there with lawyers' hourly rates.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Wow, that's ridiculous! I'll work for half that!!!

 

[THE HCP]

What is a longshoreman exactly?

They work at the loading docks at the harbors.

Last I heard, not a single one of them was arrested when they stormed the port in Tacoma during a strike a year ago.

It's crazy that they can get away with that kind of crud.

If you belong to a union in a liberal area, you are nearly bulletproof.

Fuggin unions!

Proving only that lawyers are ridiculously overpaid.

A good way to go bankrupt.
