Clerical workers are on strike at the Port of Los Angeles. They aren’t striking over pay or benefits, but this claim still made me sit up a little straighter over my morning corn flakes:
Stephen Berry, lead negotiator for the shipping lines and cargo terminals, said the clerical workers have been offered a deal that includes “absolute job security,” a raise that would take average annual pay to $195,000 from $165,000, 11 weeks’ paid vacation and a generous pension increase.
Wow.
