Employment regulation, state intervention and the economic performance of European ports
Article Abstract:
The ports in the UK has historically been poorly managed and privatization has not succeeded in the deregulation of the industry. State intervention has been necessary especially during the postwar period to settle labor disputes due to excess capacity and intense competition. Inneficiency in the industry has been of long-standing primarily because dock workers, who are highly skilled, perceive state intervention as anti-labor.
