Slur Charged at Red Hook Dockworkers in Post Saga
The New York Post article accuses Red Hook longshoremen of graft and threats, while ILA members respond with letters defending the union. Capo cites wages, Waterfront Commission data split by earnings, and a contrast between high earners and many earning below $25,000. An anonymous Local 1814 worker adds the human costs of long shifts and heat.
