[CINDERS]

Not trying to fuel a fire there was a book out about the things our wharfies did during the war in some cases deliberately damaging equipment like valves for radios, dropping aircraft when slung up by the stiff legs and other bad things. I will find a copy and get the details up on the site it is a pretty p*ss poor thing they did to hamper the effort it is a wonder the Govt of the day did not line them up against a wall or better still bung them on a boat and send them to New Guinea

It's disgraceful when a Country is on a war footing, with young men and women putting their lives on the line to go on strike and disrupt supplies.

My father told me that during the war the Liverpool dock workers threatened industrial action that amounted to bringing the docks to a halt, they apparently saw sense and backed down when it was plainly "pointed out" to them that their reserve occupation status could be signed away with the wave of a fountain pen and the lot of them placed under direct Admiralty control (and subject to full military discipline) very easily!
