Its great they make that kind of cash, but if you watch the goings on at
Halterm and Ceres you would have heard about the major container lines
pulling out of Halifax, citing costs as the number one concern.  They will
work themselves right out of a job one of these years.
The container traffic and shipping traffic in our port is not the greatest
when you consider the amount of shipping on the east coast.
Its just too spensive to unload your boat here, and, if you are lucky, your
stuff won't get stolen!!

As Lee Iaccoca (sp), ex-president of Chrysler said "I don't mind unions
asking
for a lot - the problem is when management gives it to them, often to avoid
a
strike."
The contracts on the waterfronts or elsewhere were signed by two parties -
employees and employers.
It's like screaming kids in grocery stores - you can let them scream or you
can
pay and pay and pay ...
