Uhhh....Valid reasons? You do read the ALPA E-mails? Go to your union meetings, stay informed, participate in the process? Your career, job, QOL, not to mention the devastation of an entire job category? Fear mongering? You betcha.

Chinese labor at $10/hr is just a start. You think future conditions and contracts will be anything like today if this passes? Talking about facts at this point is useless as there are no facts, just speculation. Get your head out of the hole in the sand, and take a look around.

All you have to do is look at he maritime industry to have a pretty good idea on what the facts might be.
