They're not Federal workers. How do you plan to force them to do their jobs?

  This is the clear result of an overbearingly powerful entrenched union allowing absurd inefficiency. Tough to imagine a legal recourse. Ideally you allow local ports to outlaw the unions, but that would be a legal nightmare and be extraordinarily difficult to pull off, since the entire port's unionized staff would likely quit.

    You could simply allow non-union workers, or allow other unions to bid the job. Just some modicum of competition. But right now it is them or no-one.

      > simply allow non-union workers I have a hunch that if it was "simple" the port owners would have done that a long time ago.

        The government would have to allow that, not the port owners.
