    we won't even bring Chilean to the west coast anymore. 2 week trip turns into 45 days by the time it gets through LA harbor. The new ports in Mexico will be extremely helpful.
    Yeah, I'm not fully tuned in to the supply chain logistics, but I do know there are several buyers who're sweating this labor standoff. No doubt this s up, it what gives the unions leverage.

    As long as it's not imported it'll be relatively "fresh" at HEB. I do a lot of business with HEB. Finally got to go in one when I was in Texas for Thanksgiving. Went to the one in or near dripping springs, that store was awesome. If I had one near me I would walk around, eat food, and get a buzz for free everyday.

    crazy stuff.

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-0...er-talks-break



    Greedy bas s are really abusing those poor employees!
    Somebody's lying here in that report. I know a guy that does this job at here in Portland. Dock workers don't make that much. If for maybe a week, the average dock worker made $147k annualized, in California, then that would be by working maximum overtime. Maybe... before Christmas season...

    With overtime, its uncommon for any to hit $100k. These guys top out at something like $70 k normal salary here in Oregon.

    150k a year plus with great insurance and 80k lifetime pension to drive a forklift isn't anything to sneeze at.
    Is it true because it's on the internet?

    I found a 2012 wage scale for San Francisco. Third shift max experience tops out at $63.17/hr.

    Makes that average $147 k really seem like BS.

    First shift max experience is $39.48/hr.

    Lowest experience is $33.68/hr to 53.89/hr.

    Remember, this is CA. Oregon is a bit less.

    the port problem is mainly quan y vs low resources (ppl, fork lift equipment and containers)

    I know off experience. I transport merchandise through the ports daily. It was bad in the holiday season when the delay was about 3 weeks. getting better. non issue imo

    When I did a search, the dock workers union was asking the port not to strike!

    OWS is involved, but it's the workers, truckers, etc, suffering under Goldman Sacks conditions.

    It seems OWS is why the dock workers aren't working right now, at leasrt by your article.

    Are these union workers part of the 1% you despise?

    "Terminals in Oakland, California; Portland, Oregon, and Seattle were blocked at least part of the day by protesters, angering some of the truck drivers and port workers they professed to support with their demonstrations."

    “I just lost $400 today,” said Mark Hebert, a long-haul trucker for Salt Lake City-based C.R. England Inc., who was stranded in Oakland with 36,000 pounds of Kansas beef bound for Asia. “These people say they represent the 99 percent. They don’t represent me.”

    "Some demonstrations continued into the night. As a result, no longshoremen were dispatched for second shifts in Oakland or Seattle, said Craig Merrilees, a spokesman for the International Longshore and Warehouse Union."

    “The terminals did not order ILWU labor for the three vessels berthed tonight, due to protest activity,” the Port of Oakland said in a statement late yesterday. “Operations at several of the port’s seven terminals experienced disruptions and delays today, and a few chose to close early to avoid further disruption.”

    "About 20 longshoremen in Longview, Washington, were sent home after concerns “for their health and safety” when 50 to 60 protesters blocked the port’s main gate, said Ashley Helenberg, a spokeswoman.

    “They are targeting the wrong people,” Mike Gardner, 42, a crane operator from Portland, said in an interview. “The corporations are still making money today. We are not.”
    In Oakland, Jairo Osorio, 43, an independent contractor for trucker C.R. England, said he would have to sleep in his truck overnight and make his delivery today. "

    “They were successful in shutting down the port. Hurting the company? No. All this stuff is waiting to be unloaded tomorrow,” Osorio said."
