Date Posted: Saturday, May 10, 11:31:19am In reply to: alf corbyn 's message, "DOCKERS?." on Wednesday, May 07, 01:01:00pm Demarcation and jobs only for relatives killed the industry off AND the DOCKERS. Extra momey for dirty jobs, unusaul cargos, duckegging, getting paid a full shift even if the only worked 45 minutes after midnight. and a whole list of things the DOCKERS got away with, the pendulum swung to far in their favour till it came back to bite them on the ass. The ship owners had to find a way to make the industray more profitable, it was to labour intensive in the early days. This happened to a lot of the powerful TRADES industry in the UK. I'm no management man and always have been a staunch trades unionist and shop steward in my day. But I'm also pragmatic and a realist. Whilst I'm not a Docker, I am Social Convener of Leith Dockers Club and have heard all their stories from them that they though was funny.
