And a long stretched out negotiations with partial shutdowns resulting from the
early negotiations. I suppose better than not having them, but last time they got us a lot of grief, let’s see if this is different.
And by the way, can you talk about productivity levels while you are talking? Can we start moving toward 40 moves per hour
per crane and get into at least the 1990’s. Absurd that the highest paid long shore people in the world are well below world
