I think that is a reasonable direction to explore. Another one would be long term job security for current individuals, but unrestricted headcount. While I think progress is important, I dont think we should repeat what we saw with NAFTA or heavy industry. It simply isnt realistic to expect every 50 year old dock worker to be able and willing to retrain and retool as a software engineer (not that that is a particularly good option right now). I think a reasonable compromise between the unions and ports could be found where they essentially freeze hiring and allow headcount to dwindle as folks age out. perhaps some internal retraining would be possible as well so that people aren't just sitting on their hands.
