Abstract: | Although strikes on the waterfront are now rare, the Liverpool dock dispute is indicative of how deregulation of the dockland labour market has compelled operators to cut ever more deeply into labour costs, and casualise the employment relationship. This has had an adverse effect on port performance and undermines the ability of employers to compete effectively. |
