More than 7,000 B.C. port workers now on strike
- Thread starter TK4
- Start date
The port workers voted and rejected the settlement. 19.2% raise over 4 years. Median wage for longshoreman would have gone up to 162k from 136. Holy crap, fire them all and start again.

Not any more.
And the new port in Tallahassee will likely be Work To Rule, so the rates will be much cheaper.

Let's face it, that may be the standard when you're the only game in town. The trouble is that at some cost point the employer spends the capital to move. Once that's done there's no going back.
How does any employer move an ocean port ? In Van you can’t go down , that’s America, cant go up , no highways . Can’t move backwards to the Island , since your still not on a place where trucking works later .

They can't relocate the port but I think there is lots of room to fire them all and hire a more competent workforce for substantially less money.

That's called union busting and strike breaking - good luck with that.
Easier said than done if I understand the rules. Something like the site being union.Close business and reopen under different name and board.

I'd be more worried about HA than the union. If Vancouver Port Co closes and BC Port Co takes over the site and begins hiring, obviously the union (and HA) will have a huge push to get back in but they may not be there for the first little while.
