Welcome to The Dockast! In our first episode, Viri and Nick are joined by Brian Skiffington, a third generation ‘longshoreman’ (docker) working in the Port of Tacoma in Washington State, USA.
Brian is a young activist in his union - ILWU Local 23. He talks to our hosts about how Covid has changed how young dockers like him do work during the experience of the pandemic, and how our unions are adapting to the realities of organising during the Covid era.
