*Date:*  Oct 31 2016
*Summary: *David Bensman, a professor at the Rutgers School of Management:
“If the companies had to pay their employees by the hour, they would have
an incentive to reduce the amount of time drivers were waiting at the
port,” he said. Instead, he said, “they are shifting the costs to the truck
drivers by making sure their pay is low.”
