Curious why you dug up a 5 year old article? Anyway, I'm surprised my profession (ATC) didn't make the cut. Afterall, Bush&Co decided we were overpaid, and cut new-hire pay by 30%, as well as robbing me from yearly raises THAT MANAGEMENT STILL RECEIVES! That translates into thousands of less dollars towards and in, retirement.

They mention Longshoremen as overpaid. Sorry, but after watching a show on Discovery, those guys earn it. Sit in a crane all day and move tens of millions of dollars worth of merchandise, into and out of ships that are mammoth in size and cost. Nothing more than a case of sour grapes, from an "underpaid" reporter...
