utterly ridiculous.
The majority of these kids are recruited at 18 or 19 years old. they wont see stable work till they are probably 30. That means these kids will be going to the union hall twice a day, every day hoping to get a job for 10+ years before they are able to hold something steady.
Does this sound great to anyone!? no? thats exactly why we are having a labor issue. As much as we want more longshoremen, their own "traditions" and practices are the ones limiting their options. Plus our ports are just not competitive compared to global standards. We do about 20-24gross moves per hour per crane around here.
Asia and Europe does 30-40 GMPH. thats double our productivity per crane. While halving our labor costs.
