| 摘要： | Longshore employment is often used an example of one of the few remaining avenues for blue-collar workers to earn high incomes. Indeed, longshore jobs are the few in the contry where an individual without a college degree can earn annual income over $90,000. Much like other blue collar occupations, technology has largely transformed the nature of work in the industry, however the power of the union, particulary on the West Coast, has resulted in technology phase-ins that displace as few workers as possible and keep wages high. Longshore workers have also benefited from the movement of manufacturing overseas, which has increased trade volumes at the ports, resulting in substantial hiring of new longshoremen at California ports over the last year. |
