Abstract

Britain's exports are threatened by another London dock strike. Dockers who last stopped work in April are angered by what they regard as further delay in legislative plans to give them the right to pack and unpack containers, and their former leader, Jack Dash, steps out of retirement to deliver the warning: “This time, the issue will be settled once and for all.” In this background account of the dispute, Derek Coomber — Editor of Freighting World — tells of labour‐management intransigence and Government inertia.
