hi i was in the merchant navy for 10 years and a docker for 7 years.i agree a lot of the rules in the docks were daft to say the least.but now in the port where i live a lot of the unloading is done by the ships crew where previously it was done by the dockers.i also remember that on a few occasions the dockers backed ships crews when there was a dispute .i cannot think of a job today [exept goverment pen pushers & spin doctors]that employs the same amount of people as it would have done years ago but this is mainly down to technology .regards john
