Overview: Melbourne's waterfront, 'the most notorious port in the world', was for a long time infamous for its high rate of crime, its inefficient, unjust management, and its employees' uncivilised, insanitary and dangerous working conditions.When General MacArthur's US forces arrived in Melbourne in 1942 they were astounded at the disorder they found: waterfront foremen who demanded bribes for jobs; a pecking order for labour engagement which operated along the lines of a caste system; and shipowners who flagrantly violated health laws by providing grossly inadequate facilities for their employees - one shower per thousand workers, and one toilet per one hundred and fifty men. With massive war cargoes to unload, it wasn't long before the US command, having assessed the situation, threatened to order American soldiers to take over stevedoring unless Melbourne waterfront cleaned up its operations. Why did it take US military intervention to bring about a fairer system of labour rostering and a healthier and safer working environment?Rupert Lockwood has answered many questions about the pitiless resistance to waterfront reform - a resistance offered by employers, governments and the media. He examines the powers and interests that lay behind the campaigns against union claims for much needed and long overdue reform and restructuring.
