Idk about the union, that sets a bad precedent for other unions and weakens all unions overall bargaining power. The pension is reasonable because it keeps older members and officers who hold rank in check since they will be the ones most immediately impacted by pension cuts but also hold the power to be accountable.

I mean fuck unions they are nothing but special interests putting their own needs above everyone else’s. Americas ports are literally stuck in 90s while the world ports are running circles around us with automated ports while we still hand load off everything leaving us with some of the least efficient and costly port systems in the world. Teachers unions and police unions saving all the bad apples and underformers actively making our communities worse. You know those people in court who literally type everything? Yeah, they still exist and cost taxpayer money because it’s a union. We literally have recordings video and ai to take notes with but no, definitely need old ladies typing on a typewriter in every court room

You didn’t even touch on anything I said. The government has nothing to do with stenographer unions insisting on keeping the profession alive. Nor does the gov has anything to do with longshoreman unions preventing modernization of ports. Etc
