    I am sure they will strike. And there is no chance in hell Obama stands up to labor.
    This one will hurt so I am sure Ports America (Or what ever American sounding name they use these days) will concede and pay the thugs.

    There are at least 15 million Mexicans that are supposed to be Bobo's friends that would LOVE to work for a fraction. How many on Florida's unemployment roll? Give work to those that WANT to work.

    Maybe they need a raise. Those dock workers seem like real hard working dudes.

    As The Post reported Monday, a group of longshoreman — including some relatives of mobsters — are being paid to work more than 24 hours a day seven days a week on the waterfront.

    The astronomical salaries are the result of onerous union rules and unwritten special deals agreed to by the container terminals that employ the workers.

    Salgado, who faces 10 to 16 months in prison when sentenced, earned $230,651 last year working the docks, a hefty figure considering his base rate is only $32 an hour.
    Working more than 24 hours a day seven days a week, donating their Christmas bonuses to the local chapter of the Genovese Family Charity and the right wing fascist nut jobs are complaining? You should be ashamed of yourselves.

    Imagine that, unions at their typical fineness.
