After a lifetime of ownership of small companies and being a manager at other jobs with Teamster employees under my watch now that I’m retired even though I did fine I could have come out way better as a union member unloading ships in Staten Island at Howland Hook. I could have slept instead of worrying how to get the job done. Being a Union Member must be awesome. When you leave work you don’t have to think about work at all until tomorrow. I rest my case!

Unfortunately the rest of us suffer when they slow down unloading and stores do not get the merchandise they ordered. Not to mention the huge salaries they make get passed on and the rest of us get to pay more for the stuff we buy.
