Date: October 1st, 2024 5:35 PM Author: Curious brindle main people Running container gantry cranes and yard hustlers is not something you learn overnight, neither is running cranes to handle dry bulk cargo whether it be grain or rolled steel or scrap. Let’s not even get into liquid bulk and then hazmat. Facility to facility may have different employee pools to choose from and not all will be non-union up and down the coast but I imagine the heat will be on those folks once this kicks off.
And for the record, as a former Port of NY/NJ vessel agent, all those docks are 100% tied up in some shady business on the office side. The rank and file are just part and parcel to it by choice or otherwise, but when I had to call out crews to depart a vessel and the highest paid and least-worked men on the shore were the linemen who consistently showed up 40mins late in high class cars wearing zero safety gear to pull a line off the bollard and then sped off, it didn’t take much to see who was on the take. |
