Dock Act review

MORE provisions of the Dock Work Regulation Act come into effect on December 1 to provide for a review of work currently regarded as dock work.
The new provisions are part of the watered-down act that resulted from a long and bitter fight over who-does-what within the dock areas and waterway corridors.
Under the Act the National Dock Labour Board will be looking at all work regarded as dock work under the provisions of the Dock Workers' Employment Scheme, 1967, in each port where the scheme is being used.
Secretary of State for Employment Albert Booth has told the Board that he wants a report on the situation by May and that report will include recommendations on whether work should be classified as Dock Work or not.
The Act originally gave dockers the right to all freight work that did not actually mean driving vehicles away from depots within a five-mile corridor of all navigable waterways.
After an outcry over the provisions of the Act the whole piece of legislation was watered down to allow for reviews and reclassification of work such as is being done now.
