80% of US Shipping Ports are foreign-owned...

...so BEFORE YOU GET MAD AT THE UNION AND THE STRIKERS, just know that even with their 6-figure salaries, the foreign companies make billions.

A lot of people have criticized the strike and even used it as an incentive to go full automation. Sure, make the foreign companies more rich. Meanwhile, laying off a bunch of US workers - put them on unemployment, uninsured, etc. etc. so we can put more strain on our already burdened system.

My very first grown-up job was at a shipping corporation where I was responsible for moving containers on the west coast. Levi's and Toshiba were two of my many clients. I'd have to arrange pickup from the ports and move them to distribution centers. I also scheduled many containers to go on the trains.

Hopefully this strike doesn't go longer than two weeks because it will start to trickle down and impact other companies. People only think about the consumer end while forgetting all the people in between.
