Many, many Scotches
It's finding scabs who have the requisite experience and tickets for operating the specialised cranes and loaders used in the docks. Not to mention them also having a valid MSIC (Maritime Security) card.In this employment market? DP World will have scabs lined up around the block for the chance to enter the Thunderdome and fight to the death for a chance to do the job for half the pay. And then the government will send out the army to protect the work zone from the picketing wharfies.
That said, the MUA have vastly misjudged this. There are essential medical supplies in those containers (and hot pants!) and people aren't going to look kindly on them getting their knickers in a twist when we have thousands of people working round the clock in supermarkets and home-delivery, putting themselves at far greater risk to ensure we are all fed and looked after.
Not to mention that stevedores have bugger all hands-on interaction with the goods these days - except for when they're flogging shit from the containers.
