Had a argument at work with this person who said Long Shoremans make crappy money. Does anyone in here know how much they make?
How much do Long Shoremans make?

They make ALOT for the time they work. Until you are "in", or should I say... a "made man"... you don't get many hours, hence poor pay. That said, the guys who work gravies make some serious premium cash, for not always doing all that much.
Other guys work their asses off doing good work, for standard pay.
You have to show up at the hall every morning, looking for whatever scraps are thrown your way. If you're high up enough on the union ladder, you get the good jobs...and then it goes down hill from there (hence my first comment).
Once you're in good, it's good money. Plain and simple.

I worked at this fancy hotel years ago and had to fight for left over scraps. That's such a shitty feeling no matter how much the pay is
I don't know about 6 figures, but $50-$75/hr for either working yer ass off or drinking coffee and eating doughnuts.... is a pretty sweet deal considering what I get paid to work my ass off.
money = no life
Yes, you can make 6 figures......but you have to be willing to work 7 days per week. Once you put your time in, you are your own boss...... you make your own hours, to a point. Working afternoon/ graveyard shifts, and weekends amounts to more money, but = no social life.

Plus dont forget they get to take all home all the "spillage" from the containers. I even think that is entrenched in their union contract .
.Hmmmmmn...Would the aforementioned motorcycle lovers join a group that's initials are H and A?
In my line of business, we do get shipments that the longshoremen deal with. You want to know the best way of making sure that your shipment is dealt with quickly and carefully? Buy the operator a case of Kokanee or Budwesier. We have done that before, and guess what? We got our stuff faster, and no damage (compared to when we don't buy beer, its late, and the box is all scuffed and dented. We have had to put in 2 insurance claims for that sort of thing.)
In short, beer makes the world go around!
EDIT: WHOOT!!! 500 posts!!
(just think of all that lost productivity time at work...)
