The dockworkers union initially sought a 77% pay raise over six years but have tentatively settled for 62% increase over five years on their current base salaries of around $81,000. Compare that to Harold Daggett, president of the ILA, who had vowed to “cripple” the U.S. economy over automation and wage demands. Daggett earns $728,000 annually as union chief, lives on a 10-acre estate in a seventy-one hundred square-foot mansion and drives a Bentley. Nice work if you can get it
