I do understand that what they do can be difficult work, but that is such as any job and I don't believe that the union should be able to strike over something like wages when they get paid substantially more than a lot of the lower class citizens. I personally know people whose businesses have had products and merchandise stuck at the docks for nearly a month now due to their strike, and it's beginning to take their toll on the businesses. I hope the negotiations get us somewhere, but if they don't I think the union's power needs to be limited somewhat, although I don't believe it should be outright disbanded. The careful balance between workers' rights and government intervention is still obviously a prevalent problem that has yet to have a solid solution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
