Well, if the OP is true...big if... then he doesn't understand the problem. The problem is people. There are not enough people to move the cargo 24/7 at a high rate. There are not enough truckers to drive the loads away. The fact that the union has set us up to fail just aggravates the situation; no one by union people can move cargo off a ship, no one but union people can truck cargo out of a shipyard (even if they drop off the trailers at a third party site for non-union truckers to take the load), no union people can be made to work extra hours if necessary. So let's add a few (penalty) to the cost of doing business. That will only be added to the price of the contents for the consumer to pay in the end. The company suffers not a whit.

LOL, I have to laugh, but really cry that anyone thinks the Biden/Harris proposal will do anything except create more chaos.
It does nothing to address the real problem, government over regulation by idiots that don't have a clue how to do anything.

This beginning phrase contains two insurmountable tasks ...

#1: "... have to explain ..."
#2: "... unnecessary bureaucracy somehow helps..."
The OP ignores the realities of Virginia et al ... and day dreams about a Socialistic Fantasy World to which he aspires.
What he hasn't figured out yet, and won't ever, those illegally invading our Southern Border are FLEEING A "Socialistic Fantasy World"
.... IN WHICH THEY WERE BORN .... AND COMING FOR THEIR $450,000 US bribe to infest this country.

SA - vm did not bother to post any reference for teh nonsense communist propaganda he posted
It is nonsense - kalifornia law (AB5) and union resistance to modernization and refusal to work are a major part of teh Port issues. The Feds - per teh constitution - control Interstate Commerce - and should take control of teh port and force modernization and efficiency.
https://www.politifact.com/factcheck...have-had-impa/
Fuck teh Unions - they are all about high pay for no work.
Fiden won't do that due to kalifornia socilaist state being a major supporter - along with nazi pelosi and her San Fran shit hole.
Perhaps someday - a democraticommunist will figure how to reference a post.
I am not optimistic

Good grief ! This has nothing to do with unions. You don't know there are trade publications and magazines ? Building trades, entertainment trade, trucking industry - the list goes on and on.
This is a fact sheet, not an opinion piece. It states what the West Coast Container Excess Dwell Fee initiative is.
It can be seen in the trade publication worldcargonews.com.......grain net.com. Also portoflosangeles.org...and many others.
And yet another member here who replied:
"Fuck teh Unions - they are all about high pay for no work."
Good grief !

address the root cause = hysterical "Pandemic" restrictions on ALL businesses. THAT is the reason we have had freighters moored in the gulf of every port city since 2020 and also why the American economy has been in a nose dive

Quote:
The more I argued with them, the better I came to know their dialectic.
First they counted on the stupidity of their adversary, and then, when there was no other way out, they themselves simply played stupid.
If all this didn't help, they pretended not to understand, or, if challenged, they changed the subject in a hurry, quoted platitudes which, if you accepted them, they immediately related to entirely different matters, and then, if again attacked, gave ground and pretended not to know exactly what you were talking about.
Whenever you tried to attack one of these apostles, your hand closed on a jelly-like slime which divided up and poured through your fingers, but in the next moment collected again. But if you really struck one of these fellows so telling a blow that, observed by the audience, he couldn't help but agree, and if you believed that this had taken you at least one step forward, your amazement was great the next day.
The liberal had not the slightest recollection of the day before, he rattled off his same old nonsense as though nothing at all had happened, and, if indignantly challenged, affected amazement; he couldn't remember a thing, except that he had proved the correctness of his assertions the previous day. Sometimes I stood there thunderstruck.
I didn't know what to be more amazed at: the agility of their tongues or their virtuosity at lying.
Gradually I began to hate them.

You didn't read or don't understand the new fee structure. The new fee structure did not exist before. Demurrage has existed with different dates and rates from the ocean carriers.
You didn't pay attention to the new jobs report and the all time record highs in the stock market. A nosedive ?
You don't provide an alternative solution.

Couldn't be further from the truth. Port congestion has been getting worse for years.
