Mob rules...Bob fiore looking good brother...Dagget its the workers union not yours you where put there dont forget that big shot... But you are doing a good thing. Don't let the big business make the money. Take care of your Union workers. I was there on the docks in Miami Fort Pierce back in the 80s and I was making $17 an hour in 1985. Now I see you guys are making $20 an hour average 30 40 40 years later. Missed the old days. Unions do take care of their people even though some kickbacks are here and there.L o l gotta do what you gotta do 1922-1 checkers union..wow things change unreal

Compensation for a job well done. The top of any organization always makes a lot of money. That’s the whole point.

So now unloading boats makes you a hero! Someone thinks too highly of himself! Automation of the entire industry is coming and they know it!

EXACTLY! They, like all unions, only exist to extort money from the people who actually come up with ideas to better the lives of others.

It would result in cheaper goods for Americans and also won’t remove all jobs from the dock workers. It would increase efficiency and speed up workflow as well increasing safety for the workers.

@@chexcollects Yes, even if a company fully automates and eliminates its human workforce, it would still be required to pay taxes. The taxes a company pays aren’t solely dependent on having employees. Here are some of the taxes that companies are generally required to pay, regardless of whether they have workers: Corporate Income Tax: Companies pay taxes on their profits. Property Tax: If the company owns property, it will still pay property taxes. Sales Tax: Depending on the industry, companies may be responsible for collecting and remitting sales tax on goods and services sold. Business License Fees and Taxes: Companies often pay fees or taxes based on the nature of their business. Payroll Taxes: While they wouldn’t pay payroll taxes if they no longer have workers, if automation leads to independent contractors or specialized workers handling certain tasks, taxes might still apply in some form. The lack of employees might reduce specific taxes (payroll taxes), but it wouldn’t exempt the company from paying taxes altogether….

@@chexcollects Even if a company uses automation, it is still required to pay taxes. Taxes for businesses generally fall into several categories, such as corporate income tax, property tax, sales tax. However, if a company relies heavily on automation and has fewer employees, it may pay less in payroll taxes (which are based on the number of workers) but still owes other forms of taxes. So, automation might reduce a company’s labor costs, but it doesn’t exempt them from tax obligations.
