Liverpool Dockers: A History of Rebellion and Betrayal

Carden Press, 2022. Softcover. Fine Condition. 9781739656300 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, clean bright covers, very small nick to top of spine. See my images for book's contents. In an inspirational struggle that began in September 1995 and lasted for two years and four months, 500 Liverpool dockers fought for their jobs after being sacked for refusing to cross a picket line. Liverpool Dockers: A history of rebellion and betrayal charts the background to the dispute, the Liverpool dockers' epic struggle, and the legacy of their fight for justice. Mike Carden, a former shop steward and one of the leaders of the sacked Liverpool Dockers, compiled this important labour history from original documents such as diaries, audio recordings, meeting minutes, and documentary film. It is a meticulously referenced work that tells the story of the Liverpool Dockers' 1995 dispute and offers a sophisticated analysis of the underlying reasons for the dispute - with contemporary relevance for the labour movement today. 741 pages.
