Berthing related issues can also effect the earning capacity of a ship, such as piloting availability, berthing availability, and port labor strikes. For example, in 2015 the west coast faced an extensive port labor strike. Strikes can force a vessel to wait weeks to discharge cargo at the effected port or if and if the situation is critical, the vessel would have to relocate to another port not affected by a labor…

The Gilded Age: a point in history when industries took advantage of their workers and lied to the government about it. Men, women, and children alike were extremely undervalued. Whether it was low pay, long hours, or unsafe work environments people at this time were not being treated as they should have. In theory as years went by things would’ve changed. Eric Schlosser disproves that theory with his book titled Fast Food Nation (2001). About a hundred years after the mistreatment in the Gilded…

Waiting to Start Blood was dripping from his crooked nose. He stumbled through the crowd of detainees towards the guards. His body swayed from side to side like a grandfather clock. As his knees buckled and began falling to the ground, he cried out for help. His body collapsed to the dirt like a rag doll thrown across a room. The riots raged on in the centre of the yard. “Hello Adil, I'm Dr Williams. How are you feeling today?” I looked around the sterile, white room. The television’s signal was…

It was not uncommon for laborers from unrelated fields and companies to be called to boycott and sympathetically strike against their employers in support of fellow union members working for other companies, even other industries. This significantly impacted many morally responsible employers who were undeserving of the aftermath that results from a strike, namely financial.

Case Studies Case 1: During my visit to St. John 's Episcopal Cemetery in Valle Crucis, NC, I came across an interesting example of a laser etched image on Charles Dotson 's gravestone. Etched on Charles 's stone was an image of the USS San Diego along with the inscriptions "WWII," "Bronze Star Recipient," and "Brother Our Hero." Initially, I could figure that Charles was a member of the crew of the USS San Diego during his life, and that time was a defining factor of his personal identity.…

If I worked for the B&O Railroad as a brakeman in 1877, I would have no other choice but to go on strike. The job is a risky one that puts me in danger every day. There was a pay cut 3 years ago that took its toll on all the workers. Adding another 10% reduction in salary, topped with working fewer days in the week, there is no way that a family can be supported properly. This is a job that keeps me away from my family and is incredibly dangerous. I deserve to be paid well enough to support my…
