CarrZee: This seems like a substantial win for the union.
Yet much of the workforce might be eliminated by robots before the end of the six years.
So I’m concerned the tentative deal might fall apart by January 15 when negotiations are meant to end.
The figures below suggest $126,000 a year for port workers by about 2030, assuming an 8-hour day and 250 days a year and no overtime.
Nice. If you still have a job.
Might be a clever delay tactic by the employers…removing the strike away from the tense pre-election period.
Fantastic or fantasy?

The statement did not offer terms of the deal but two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters news agency that the agreement is for a wage hike of around 62% over six years.
That would raise average wages to about $63 (€57) an hour from $39 an hour over the life of the contract.
The ILA union had been seeking a 77% raise while the employer group USMX had previously raised its offer to a nearly 50% hike.
