👉 In the context of labor, a dockworker is a person employed by a shipyard or port to perform manual labor on the ships or vessels that are being constructed. They typically work in a dock or other maritime facility and are responsible for cleaning, painting, and maintaining the boats, berths, and other structures on which they are working. The term "dockworker" is often used colloquially as a pejorative to describe someone who is not skilled or competent at performing manual labor.
