These guys are making 1% type money for doing nothing. Also they lack diversity seeing how almost all of them are Italian American and are robbing taxpayers blind. This sounds like a perfect target for the OWS crowd to direct their rage.

Nice work if you can get it.
A small band of longshoremen — including relatives of famous mobsters — were paid for working more than 24 hours a day, every day of the week, at the ports of New York and New Jersey, The Post has learned.
And the Port Authority is warning the industry that if it wants public funds for waterfront improvements, it has to stop handing out outrageous perks to favored workers.
Many of the top earners raked in over $400,000 — a seemingly-impossible-to-achieve amount considering most earn around $30 an hour.
Some of those deep-pocketed dock workers — like the nephew of the late crime boss Vincent “The Chin” Gigante — have admitted to actually being at the ports for as little as 30 hours a week.
