I think Andrew now needs to apologize for this round of union bashing, particularly with his figure of union members being paid $200k a year. The actual average pay at the ILWA is $43k a year.
I read the last time ILA went on strike was 50 years ago. Collective bargaining is the power of unions, and I’m glad they fought and got a good deal. The disinformation is continuing by saying there’s a 62% increase in wages! Yes, but over six years. I can spot a non union person at a hundred yards and I’m not surprised by the Bulwark attitude. I am disappointed, though.

Agree, those that make $200k are working 100 hours a week! They start at $20/hour and go up to about $40 after 6 years.
