\nAs global food prices continue to skyrocket<\/a>, regulations that entrench union special privileges are delaying critical food shipments from reaching their intended destinations. According to the Center for Global Development<\/a> and The Los Angeles Times<\/i><\/a>, union-imposed labor requirements have slowed food shipments because aid agencies are forced to rely on U.S.-flagged ships for transportation:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\u201c . . . US policy compounds the problem by requiring that food aid must be purchased and packaged in the United States and shipped mainly on US-flagged ships. Thus, a good chunk of the US food aid budget gets diverted to higher distribution and transportation costs, which are also going up as a result of oil price hikes and rising freight costs.\u201d\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\nThe Center for Global Development also estimates <\/a>that these regulations increase the cost of foreign assistance by up to 30%, eroding the benefits of aid through massive overhead costs. Union officials support this wasteful policy because it forces ports to rely on a heavily unionized workforce that generates millions of dollars in dues payments each year.\n<\/p>\n

\nThis isn\u2019t a new problem, either. Union-boss-inspired maritime regulations have plagued<\/a> the delivery of foreign aid consignments for over a decade. With food prices soaring throughout the Third World, however, now is an ideal time to jettison these obstructionist compulsory unionism privileges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
