I’m a longshoreman for 5 years but just joined the union a month ago and I just feel sad when people say longshoremen are over paid labourers and make to much money!! Tell that to my fellow union member that ran his own brother over in a top lift and killed him!! This job is very dangerous and with the high turnover rate of new workers as not everyone can lift a 15ft 50lb bar 80 times or more a shift. Safety has come a long way but production is still king in the industry. LSPU Ila global power
