Guess they can name their price then?
Those same businesses would also most likely go out of business if port fees skyrocket
More than me, but probably less than some people might think.Just for giggles I'd like to know what those port guys are making.
Not necessarily. I usually fall on the side of the worker, not the multi-billion dollar greed machine they work for but I think fair negotiations would be logical.
Possibly, its a double edge sword I'm hoping they walk carefully.

Three times the average national wage at just under 100,000 per year, plus a $50,000 benefits package on top of that.

The short version:
If no Labor contract is struck by July 1st the entire West coast port would shutdown. This would mean an increase in airfreight from Asia and a rerouting of sea freight to Canada and the East coast. The Increase in Airfreight would clog airline routes and the rerouting of Sea shipments would clog the other ports basically delaying all freight shipments for the entire country until the ports are reopen.
So if it happens it'll be near catastrophic for any industry that counts on imports.
....I don't think I get it.
The fat cats will have to do all their own paddling?
No shipping notice yet for me either..... What are sending these out 5 at a time!
Have you checked your account online? Mine shipped yesterday, but I got no notice...but the tracking number was listed on my order.
I've checked mine a few times and still not shipped. Kind of ticked since the rep assured me Monday that it would ship either yesterday or today, and when I emailed today they said could be later in the week. What I don't get is if they charged me on Friday so they could ship it on Friday, and they finally got these in to ship yesterday, why would it take more than a day to ship?
