Passats, Ports and Taft & Hartly Act
by mliong on Fri Oct 11 15:39:20 PDT 2002
Are 100% Assembled in Germany (parts are another thing). Two factories produce them: Emden or Desden. VW ships to San Diego as well as East coast - depending on the region it is to be sold. If you ask a dealer, they will tell you that they can pull cars from a Western OR Eastern region - whichever one they belong to. Cheaper to have a ship take the extra distance than to rail it in from the East to West coast I guess... The Taft Hartly act is only good for 80 days from Judicial approval, and can only be enacted by the President if an appointed counsel finds that the work stoppage will harm the economy, among other things. The issue to the current port situation is that of Technology. The port owners (shipping lines) want to modernize the equipment to allow the ports to handle more cargo without an increase in headcount. The Union does not want this, and wants any new technical positions under Union control. Most other ports in the world are faster, and more efficient than the West Coast ports which handles almost all of its transactions via handwritten paperwork - instead of computerized barcodes. E.G. Weighing cargo in a West Coast Port takes 2.5 hours, compared to other ports (like Shanghai) which takes only 30 minutes. The Union is pretty much screwed at this point because if a deal isn't struck by the end of the 80 day waiting period, they are forced by law to accept the last best offer offered to them by the Port Association (under Federal mediation). The last act was invoked by Jimmy Carter in the 1970s, and that was struck down by a Federal Judge. FYI...
