Hard for me to feel too bad for the workers, especially after a multi-month intentional work slow down.

"Unionized dockworkers are among the nation's best-paid blue-collar workers. The union has successively negotiated pay increases for its members over the years that compensate for vastly increased productivity, made possible through containerization of freight, that has dramatically reduced the number of workers needed to load and unload ships. As a result, the association said the average longshoreman union member earns $147,000 a year."
