Gee. Does this sound familiar.
Meet Harold J. Daggett. Daggett is the President of the International Longshorman’s Association (ILA). The is the wharfies union in the US.
Daggett reportedly earns US$900,000 per annum.
He drives a nice Bentley convertible. This is a photo of his multimillion house. Replete with pizza oven and outdoor sauna.
This was his yacht until recently sold. The comment from Musk is telling..
His union is threatening to shut down US ports because a 77% pay rise in not enough. Oh and to eliminate and ban all automation on the docks.
Some wharfies in his union earn over US$400,000 per annum when their overtime is counted.
Lots of organised crime links exist with this union.
Gee. Does this sound familiar.
There is probably a lot of pilfering going on in Australia's ports as well. Our wharfies learn from other ports around the world.
