With the support of Trump, dockworkers & longshoremen get a 62% raise. Wages will rise to $63/hr + overtime, will let them easily earn >$200k/yr.
It bars employers from adopting autonomous machinery (which we have and it works).

$63 x 40 hours =$2,520.00 per week
$2520 x 52 weeks = $131,040
That means $69K of untaxed overtime…

Yeah, when we talked about this earlier, the union chief was complaining that his workers were overworked. Too much work for them to do.
But, then they reject automation that would decrease the workload on teh people. 555

DeSantis should really push Canaveral to automate the cargo capacity as much as possible. Charleston and Portland should follow suit. They may not have the size of Jersey and Baltimore, but if they made their ports more efficient, they can make up for the size, and put a stress on the other east coast ports.
