Worker docker in le Havre for thirty years, he will soon leave this profession he loves. "When I came in 1970, the day of my eighteen years, I started by unload bales of tobacco." I always knew I was going to be docker, I dragged on the port since I kid. "Like his colleagues, Patrice is son of docker, but also nephew, father and uncle of dockworkers. "At the time the trade was so hard that person not wanted, except those who were born in it."
It is no doubt in this tradition of inheritance of the trade was born esprit de corps of the dockers. "We have known all." These are former forming young people. When I came, my father told me to work well not her shame. I did this with my son.
In addition, the Union, the CGT, to which all belong, even if it is not mandatory. In this trade that has long had a daily and independent worker status, the Union was the place of meeting and cohesion. "Every morning, the dockers were BCMO (central Office of the labour force)." At 7: 15 a.m., hiring was triggered, and it was directed to one of the companies handling with our score card. No delay, otherwise he should return for the afternoon shift.
When there was no work, a daily allowance was paid. The dockers chose their specialty. Patrice, on the advice of his father, spent his heavy weight permit to work on the terminals for containers. Others are from "voltigeurs", so named because on board ships, they jump a container to another. "There is a good spirit of competition." For example, the team ships will work fast to dry up, just to be able to come to stiff in the rail and laugh when the team land haven't been able to follow.
In 1992, the profession has experienced a fracas with the mensualization. Jean-Yves Le Drian, then Secretary of State to the sea, is enact a law to reform the status of the dockers, SEV of intermittent employees. "It was a shock." Suddenly, it became like other employees. "The numbers have been reduced drastically. All have become employees of a handling company, with a minimum wage. "It is earned at the wage level, but it was losing our freedom of organization and usability of the BCMO, a large part of our cohesion."
Handling companies, the transition is also difficult. The Act does not take account downtime and "fire" inherent in the harbour traffic. The CGT is negotiating with companies to introduce flexibility. Business in shortage of labour can now temporarily recruit a docker in period of inactivity in another company. Similarly, the management of overtime is relaxed to paste to the reality of the visits. Patrice does not hide his nostalgia, but it recognizes benefits to the new status. "At the level of safety of work, there has been progress." When I started, there was a death almost every month. It was fatalistic. Now, the dockers were training and safety equipment, there are fewer accidents. .
