When an upper-class whiteboi from London goes to hang out in the dark streets of Whitechapel with Caribbean dockworkers from the port during the Victorian era. They need to be very discreet.

From wage theft on container ships to geopolitical strife, global shipping props up inequality worldwide. Yet, in the face of it all, this dialogue argues that dockworkers hold immense, untapped power to disrupt this machinery and rewrite the rules.

Around the world, dockworkers have slowed or stopped weapons shipments bound for Israel. But in the US, a divided labor movement and opaque weapons logistics reveal the limits — and possibilities — of this strategy.

we did it a second time with the same result – we even put the least-arrestable people (leaders of the dockworkers union) up the front and they all got immediately arrested. both times, so much energy that could have been spent fighting for palestine instead had to be spent on arrest/court support.

Don't be ridiculous, Harry! Why, my twin brother Edgar and I are as different as two people could possibly be! The people have a right to elect whoever they want, don't you agree? It's not our fault we're just both so popular. How could you possibly say the elections are rigged, and we're corrupt?

Oh by the way, it can't be Saturday because I'm going on a hike and then a party on

So I guess we get drinks on the Lord's day like Irish dockworkers.

So just like Italian dockworkers refuse to load ships with weapons destined for Israel, Berlin workers will at 18:00 on a Friday evening refuse to, what? Refuse to go home quite yet? 🤔

lately when i watch youtube, I get ads from the port of vancouver, and while I appreciate dockworkers, I am not looking to move a lot of cargo. why does a port need to advertise at all?
