Dockers Rebellion and Betrayal, The Lessons For Today of the Liverpool Dockers Strike

July 25, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm PDT

Free
(10:00 am PDT/6:00 pm UK)
This panel discussion will center on the historic, international struggle of the Liverpool, England dockers (1995-1998). 
A new book,Liverpool Dockers: A History of Rebellion and Betrayal written by Mike Carden, a former steward of the Transport and General Workers Union and one of the dockers’ leaders, was posthumously published recently. 
Carden, a militant syndicalist, has written a sharp critique of the TGWU leadership, the Trade Union Congress and the British Labour Party for not supporting the Liverpool dockers. The book offers seminal lessons for today’s union activists and organizers.
PANELISTS will include:
Greg Dropkin, webmaster for the locked out dockers, who will lead with a brief review of Carden’s book.
Doreen McNally, firebrand head of the Women of the Waterfront
John Carden, the son of Mike Carden
Kevin Robinson, sacked proud Liverpool dockers shop steward
Jack Heyman, representative of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) during much of the 2 1/2 year dispute.
