Book Description
Dockworkers have power. Often missed in commentary on today's globalizing economy, workers in the world's ports can harness their role, at a strategic choke point, to promote their labor rights and social justice causes. Peter Cole brings such overlooked experiences to light in an eye-opening comparative study of Durban, South Africa, and the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Path-breaking research reveals how unions effected lasting change in some of the most far-reaching struggles of modern times. First, dockworkers in each city drew on longstanding radical traditions to promote racial equality. Second, they persevered when a new technology--container ships--sent a shockwave of layoffs through the industry. Finally, their commitment to black internationalism and leftist politics sparked transnational work stoppages to protest apartheid and authoritarianism. Dockworker Power not only brings to light surprising parallels in the experiences of dockers half a world away from each other. It also offers a new perspective on how workers can change their conditions and world.

Here, Berridge examines the ways in which Pretoria has enlisted European shipping companies to service its national interests. His fascinating account of how the South African government manipulated sailing rights and shipping services after World War II in order to draw in friendly countries such as Italy, Spain, and Greece sheds new light on South Africa's overall relationship with Western capitalism and its strategy in preparing for the possibility of economic sanctions.
