Economics > And Some People Say Unions are Corrupt
MassBackwards reports from the unfree state of Massachusetts:
Massport's union longshoremen have been placing kids as young as 2 years old on the payroll in a long-running scheme to give them bogus seniority that fattens the wages they fetch as adult dock-workers years later, investigators contend.
Amazingly, the story quotes a dockworked who defends the practice. From one of the commentors:
In Mass. it's not what you know it's who you know. Thank God I live in the U.S. now. I encourage everyone who's functional to move out of Mass and into the US. It kicks ass.
