A fittinv comeback from your dumbass. And who's Octavian? (It's rhetorical, meaning nobody knows or cares, so no response necessary new fish) lurke a little, get a feel for the place, then respond with something educated, clever, witty or humorous. Something Ex has yet to do in his 3 months here. Dont go down his path, you might last a few weeks longer.2001400ex said:

Let it flow, try and communicate on your own. Investopedia wont always be there to hold your hand -

Well, down here in Portland Hanjin has just pulled out. Word is they finally got tired of all the work slow downs and other bullshit the union and its $90,000/year workers were orchestrating. No worries though, Portland, Hanjin is only 70% of the port's business. I'm sure that business can be replaced pretty easily,puppylove_sugarsteel said:Lets all get behind these guys. A 5-mile backup of container trucks isnt long enough. Id like to see a 15-mile backup. That'll get the message across.
Toppy, still think unions are irrelevant and don't matter anymore? Seems to me this is becoming a serious economic issue, on a worldwide stage. All from an irrelevant little union. -

Yup, hanjin just gonna go down the street and find another port, and a non-union one at that. Are you fucking retarded? Better yet, they're going to pull up on the shores of tillimook bay, rent a crane and unload their own containers.RaccoonHarry said:

Unions r u n all the ports for that very reason. -

Yes they do, and ONLY because they are unionized. Who said unions are worthless? They make 90k and another 25k in benefits and retirement stack. Go get a degree, work non union jobs and make less in salary than union workers do in benefits. Who said unions are good for nothing?Fire_Marshall_Bill said:Longshoremen already make plenty Pups
Where does all that money in wages go ? Back into the economy instead of a worthless savings acct. where non union workers put their extra $2500/year in discretionary income.
