Gawd. Hope that's not carrying something of mine

Thanks for the info Dave . I haven't received any email yet .

IMO the ILWU is causing more harm (to others) than good.

Big picture, guys...

Seems typical today. Agree to a job and a wage and then whine it's not fair. Unions and liberals are destroying a once great nation.

People fighting for fair wages is more important than my toy statue.

Here is an article detailing the wages for a longshoreman: The Average Wage for a Longshoreman | Chron.com

A quote from the article: "The paper reports that experienced union members can make from $100,000 to $120,000 a year in combined salary and benefits."

Pardon me if I feel more concerned for my "toy statues" than their "fair" wages.

Is HT Captain America Stealth/STRIKE Suit with the same issue? or those delays are because of HT production?

Agreed and its total b.s. that they can hold people's goods hostage, to use as a bargaining tool. This is why people hate unions.

Poison Ivy green version is in those containers, that's what SS told me in an email.

Unions (both public and private) need to be abolished. I've been in 3 different unions in my lifetime, and all they do is take your money. They don't REALLY give a **** about you as a person or an employee, all they care about are the dues you pay in, that's why the force companies to hire 6 times as many employees as necessary, and you can't get rid of the useless ones. Not to mention they have WAY too much say in politics, and get socialist scumbags elected in this country (... Cough, the White House... cough). I hope every one of these a-holes loses their job. There are good, hard-working people, currently unemployed, who'd be happy to have their job.

Oh goodie, I was looking for political opinions from doll collectors.

 

[Collectorcol]

Did some here really think that picture of the stricken ship was causing the issue at the port?

They are already getting paid more than fair wages. The strike does not pertain to that issue at all.

The average hourly rate is $41 or $160 000 a year. Whereas outsourcing the work would yield more savings for the companies.

I thought the picture was funny.

So far we know:
Capt. Rex
Poison Ivy PF (green)
Superman 1:6
Keaton Batman PF
Snake Plissken 1:6

anything else?

Just because we collect dolls, doesn't relegate us to to simple-minded. Some of us have high I.Q.s, and are savvy to how economics and politics work.

 

[JacktheRipper]

Picture is hilarious.

Isn't R2 in there as well? He's probably in that top container.

they also allow ppl with seniority to get away with tons of crap, which means ppl at the bottom of the ladder in business never get to move up. I will never join a union again, **** them.
