To all you employers out there thinking about out sourcing / having casual labour within your Port. This is what skilled Dockers deal with every day somewhere in the world.
We all believe that it will never happen to
us!!!!! this is dock work, it does and it will happen.
The majority of Dockers around the world are paid a good wage, the above pictures are one of the many factors for that good wage to be paid.
There is a reason, why we are proffesionals, there is a reason why we don't get killed every day... The reason is we KNOW what we are dealing with here...
So EU Troika and employers WHO think selfservicing and casual untrained Labour is the way forward, forget it.
WE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO KILL LABOUR, AND WE WILL NOT LET YOU KILL OUR JOBS, NEVER SURRENDER ! - John Harrison

Get agency workers in. Speed the job up.
ReplyDeleteyou would say... speed up agency accidents and lawsuits !!!! that's why there are unions old robots don't work...period
Deletewhy isn't this all automated by robots, why are we still putting humans at risk?
ReplyDeleteHumans are at risk daily...Robots do not need to earn a living...neither can they be poor or homeless. A robot can not be taxed to help infrastructure or be a cog in the mechanics of our economy. You eliminate the livelyhoods of thousands of workers for no reason. Robots will slow down the processing of product flow as they can not adapt real time. Look to replace yourself before you talk out of your ass about replacing humans with robots. Maybe you dont need your job. But everyone else does.
ReplyDeleteLast picture isn't best example. It is showing port after tsunami, not result after employing agency workers.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should strike one day everyone on the same day alover the world it starts in Australie when the day start there and goes than around the world.So we show them that dockers are one united team.If they share there company's around the world we as dockers should do the same.
