The union said its members would agree to an extension only if the Maritime Alliance dropped a proposal to freeze the royalties workers get for every container they unload. The Alliance has argued that the longshoremen, who it said earn an average $124,138 per year in wages and benefits, are compensated well enough already.

...(from an insider)..the bonuses (royalties) range from $20,000 to $40,000.....here's where it gets interesting, each member is allowed to contribute up to $3,000 per year to a political party. Many union members also register their 3 or 4 year old sons and daughters as union members....two kids, another $6,000 goes to a political party. One family donates $9,000, so now it's important for Odungo to settle this....just another rat slush fund....so they take half of your so-called bonus, when you make 120,000 to 200,000 per year who wants to stir the s*** pot?...or go home with broken legs, if you make it that far. DOJ Holder should do something about this scam..???????..*smacking head**....sorry, I was thinking like an American

That's a triple dip for the Democrat slush fund. Also, I wonder if the kiddie registration gives them a leg up on future membership, making the union a hereditary political caste.
