A watershed on the Australian waterfront? The 1998 stevedoring dispute

Richard Morris

Maritime Policy & Management, 2000, vol. 27, issue 2, 107-120

Abstract: This paper attempts to analyse the origins of the 1998 lockout and strike in Australian stevedoring which brought to an end a period of industrial peace and relative labour stability on the island continent's docks. The causes of the dispute along with the denouement are examined. The author also sets the dispute in the context of the pro-active multinational management of human resources in the global economy and the implications of such trends for Australia.
