Abstract
Industrial conflict on the docks was for many years attributed to casual forms of employment. Consequently, the instigation of a more permanent employment relationship in 1967 was expected to bring industrial peace on the waterfront. However, empirical investigation reveals that ‘permanent’ employment has had little, if any, effect on strike activity.Keywords
