Somali pirates cut ransoms to clear hijacked ships | Reuters

Quote:
Abdullahi, another pirate, said any decrease in ransom would be calculated by the ship's value, its cargo and the length of time it had been held.

"We have changed our previous strategies. We have altered our operations and ransom deals with modern business deals," he said from the port town of Haradhere.

"We want to free ships within a short period of time instead of keeping them for a long time and incurring more expenses in guarding them. We have to free them at a lower ransom so that we can hijack more ships."

Sounds like the union trash in WI aren't the only ones who want to use collective bargaining to get what they want.
