Original Note:
Under the ILA's now-expired contract, starting pay was $21/hr ($44k/yr). This rate increased with each year of experience, up to $39/hr ($81k/yr) at six years. However, a "longshoreman's salary can exceed $100,000, but not without logging substantial overtime hours." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-much-do-dock-workers-make-longshoreman-salary/ https://apnews.com/article/longshoremen-strike-pay-automation-ports-jobs-consumers-3aa66e0a05db25a49645fad404a5f000
