The first file on the dock worker guarantee began with hiring slips, guarantee payments and the quay contract. The city then checked the source, heard affected residents and sent a second office to repeat the count.
The current Year third, market fall window 1 file records 38 workers paid the minimum turn after a canceled load; the previous window records 43. The longer sequence makes the change visible, while each count remains tied to its own dates.
A turning point was the observation that the contract defines a canceled load but not a late gate closure. It narrowed the discussion from a general claim to a question about how the rule works at the site.
Contractors count only loads withdrawn by a shipper. Workers say a closed gate removes the same shift from their day. The shared record is larger than it was at the start, although the parties still assign it different weight.
The council records a decision for this window and gives its written reason. The board recorded the outcome that it closed the request after an independent count confirmed the current measure.
