But I do find this interesting:
The clerical union handles documentation and paperwork for the shipping containers moving in and out of the two ports, which receive about 40% of the nation's imported goods. On average, clerks earn $96,000 a year, with vacation, sick leave and healthcare benefits.These are clerks. Can you imagine what the heavy lifters get? What a great country!
Elsewhere in the news: while these clowns are striking for better pay and benefits, six (6) US soldiers killed in one day in Afghanistan.
Physicians in the US military serving in Iraq and Afghanistan earn less than $96,000. Physicians are among the highest paid in the US military. I assume the average salary of those killed yesterday in Afghanistan was about $30,000. Yeah, what a great country. Clerks earning more than $120,000 in pay and benefits are striking for a better contract and the media does not call them out for that. We've come a long way since Jean Valjean.
this is very sad,, they talk about alcholics,drug addicts,, but not money addicts
