Does the union boss keep getting his $901, 000 a year paycheck while his members are not getting a paycheck? His kid is a VP. Family business on the skim?

How is it allowed for one union to control so many ports? I thought monopolies are illegal.

Geez, stop one upping each other! Our economy can't handle it. Our country can't handle it.

[anand]

Instead of saying both, when I guess is giving details of one side, and you want to make it neutral, provide facts for the other side, instead of just being argumentative for the sake of it.

[LeoY-sc]

Very threatening, sounded just like a terrorist.

[rickhayes-ohzm]

Inflation is long term Gary. Don't lie. It is not worth it.

[jamesbond]
