Gothenburg Dockworkers Union Explanation: Hamnfyran is the bane of employers in the Gothenburg maritime industry. It is a highly militant and virtually autonomous branch of the National Dockworkers Union - which itself is not a member of the Trades Union Council (LO). An option is "the Dockworkers Union Gothenburg branch" Ref 2 uses "Swedish Dockworkers Union Section 4" but I think it is important to use Gothenburg, as this branch/section is so distinctive compared to other ports. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2018-01-17 09:25:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) in the USA and British Columbia uses the word 'local' instead of branch or section.
