the point I'm making is that the people on the ground making these places operate are the people that should have that power, and the idea that the government - supposedly the collective of all people in a country - would stand in the way of that for the sake of some capital holders is bizarre

People should have rights sure, but letting unions run ports to the contrary interests of everyone else is not that. I don’t want longshoremen unions telling me what I can buy and not buy.

So you should force them to work for the interestbof everyone else. That's called slavery.

No. I would force competition though. Longshore men don’t want to unload a ship? Fine, they don’t have to work that day. Just hire people from the hall that will? No one wants to unload the ship? Ok, just let the robots do it.

And when you get sympathy strikes? That's how it works in Sweden and what Tesla is facing. First the harbors, then electricians and it'll eventually be the entire country if the don't sign. That's how our system works: solidarity.

Everyone has the right to strike. They don’t have a right to a monopoly in labor however.

Sure, capitalists are welcome to work too ;)

You can buy whatever you want, nobody is stopping you. It would be you telling them what work they must and must not do.

People (government folk) have the power to decide who gets to operate there. It’s a circle of trust called society.
