No one is bringing anyone in to "run" the ports. This is a canard. DPW is a paycheck writer in this deal. They would have contracts at 29 out of more than 800 terminals to load/unload cargo. In other words, they underwrite the paychecks going to the Longshoreman's union who are ultimately responsible for hiring the people doing the work. The ports remain under the authority of their State Ports Authorties and individual terminals within the various ports are either state run or privately run.
Well, you get millions and millions and millions of guys with boxcutters!
