I don't know. A 80% raise seems excessive for basically any job.

From the post:

>US ports from Maine to Texas could shut down Monday night if a union representing about 45,000 dockworkers carries through with a threatened strike. A lengthy shutdown of 36 ports - which handle half of America's cargo from ships - could raise cause shortages and price increases at big and small retailers alike as the holiday shopping season approaches. Walmart, Home Depot, Ikea and Amazon - who import tens of thousands of containers a year through ports on the east coast - would be worst hit. Empty shelves have not been seen in the US since the post-pandemic supply chain crush in 2021.

"They also want a total ban on the automation of cranes, gates and container-moving trucks that are used in the loading or unloading of freight at 36 US ports. " Here is the real reason they denied it. All/most of those workers can be replaced by automation.

Demanding an 80% increase in pay is a great way to be replaced by automation.

Well, let’s see. How much have prices on food and items for the average man risen in the last few years? How long has it been since these workers had a raise? If it’s been more than a couple of years I’d say they (and everyone else) are due for a good raise. Maybe I’m off base, but it’s plausible.
