    Roger as I understand it the pensions of the workers in the dock dispute are not transferable. I met some of these chaps when they sent the delegation over to meet the Minister a short while ago ( it was arranged by Gwyn) and its true they have a strong case. All are pleasant ordinary individuals who worked hard in the docks all their lives. They are not people given to strike action, thats the tragedy of it.

    Slightly related to the above. I heard a report on the R4 yesterday about all the workers who lost their jobs in Rover last year. Many, yes nearly all, have found re-employment but in jobs that pay less. This is the trend, and probably the fear our port workers have...to be re-employed again on short term contracts and on less wages.
