The Striking Longshoremen Turned Down a 50% Pay +More Benefits. And Now They Double Down on “Crushing the People of the USA”

stock here: A real President would act. The lowest registered Longshoremen make around $81,000 base salary. Many with more seniority and speciality skills, with overtime, make in excess of $200,000. This is not particularly hard nor complex work, obviously crane or boom operators need to operate within their training and not eff it up. Important job, but they want to entry level base pay to be $143,000 a year. Hmmmm….. Sorry, but I don’t feel sorry for them even at their current rate.

This is another direct impact of the intentional destruction of the strength of the US dollar. At the bottom of the video is a Union leader matter of factly stating how he and his men will cripple the whole country.

The current pay scale for longshoremen striking under the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) varies depending on the role and overtime. The base salary for registered longshoremen is around $81,000 per year. However, some members can earn significantly more through overtime, with many foremen and specialized workers bringing in over $200,000 annually in high-demand positions​(

).

Demands and Negotiations:
The ILA is currently demanding a 77% increase in wages over a six-year period, citing inflation and the need to recover from years of modest raises. In contrast, the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which represents port operators, has offered a 50% wage increase over six years, along with enhanced contributions to employee retirement plans and health care options​(

).

The wage increase negotiations are just one aspect of the strike. Another major issue is the automation of port operations, with the union pushing for restrictions on automated cranes, gates, and container-moving trucks to protect jobs.

This strike, which affects 36 U.S. ports from Maine to Texas, has significant implications for the U.S. supply chain, handling approximately half of the nation’s cargo​(
