The Docks are vital to everything we make, eat and sell. Yet even before the recent strike and the Jones-Aldington Report, Britain's docks were in serious trouble. Now there is no doubt that this vital part of the economy cannot survive in its present form. In Liverpool for Money at Work, David Taylor has been talking to those parties with the greatest interest in the problem - The Mersey Docks' and Harbour Company, the unions, the employers, the unofficial shop stewards and not least the dockers themselves.
Must the pursuit of efficiency always cost men their jobs? Is nationalisation unavoidable? What future has Dockland?
