We need hire Dubai because not enough Americans want the jobs.

Isn't that what we have said everytime we out-source?

1. I believe its more of a management company.

2. Well, then, I guess we all need to go back to school

and learn to become managers.

[KoKo]

3. Yes....we can't find American Companies who want to manage our ports.

I guess that's the problem. :eyes:

5. Obviously it is considering the previous company was British.

9. Ports, like everyone else, subcontract

the Port Authority doesn't actually run all the operations, they hire Stevedores, mechanics, pilots, etc, all from subcontractors, like P&O. Those contracts are open to public bid, like all public contracts. The lowest bidder who can meet the contract (which includes whatever the Authority demands, like the hiring of union labour, or meeting certain environmental targets) wins. None of the actual work is outsourced, only the eventual corporate ownership. The US hasn't had a company seriously involved in global shipping operations for 20 years.

6. port security

Don't laugh. Everyone's been trying to figure out why Bushco would support such a stupid proposition. Maybe it's a way to undermine the unions. Isn't the stevedore's union still pretty powerful?

7. I'm guessing union busting is secondary

to making vast quantities of money.

8. can we outsource the administration? n/t
