Not sure what any of that means, Matt. What's real? What is "shelving?" Who is "they?"
Sure, I know what longshoremen make. Many of them subcontract their jobs. That's right, they "own" the jobs and get paid silly money while subcontracting with someone else who actually goes to work for them and does the job.
I also know there is HUGE money in shipping and there have been some very big conflicts "On The Waterfront" in many places throughout the world. The site of the nation's only general strike was Seattle and it started on the waterfront, in 1919. Whoever controls the waterfront wins bigtime. And the shipping companies win that tussle. But the longshoremen score some points of their own. It's a game of muscle, and longshoremen have some of that. Either you believe in market forces or not.
