This is a great book! I started reading this book because I realized how much shipping has changed the things that one has access to, it was also part of the book recommendations on one of the Ezra Klein Show podcast episodes. I don't remember who recommended this book anymore or in what context, though! I am glad I read it nonetheless.
First, a brief word about the good stuff. This is a comprehensive and very very detailed account of how containers started, who started using them, how they came to be standardized and why they make sense beyond a given scale. It refers to a lot of incidents that proved to be rather important for the adoption of containers: the aftermath of the second World War, the Vietnam war, dockworkers unions across the world, shipping companies, freight forwarders, railroad operators, trucking companies. It's hard to think of anyone from the factory right up to the end consumer that this book doesn't touch or talk about.
Perhaps the most stunning thing throughout the book is the consistent resistance that container shipping had from every single person involved in the old process: unions didn't like container shipping, ports didn't like containers, governments weren't really convinced and were far too slow to adopt or create the specifications for standardized containers. Undoubtedly, a significant percentage of the time, most of the resistance ends in a placid acceptance and a sudden interest in getting deeply involved in the process of container shipping (in the form of huge government investment in modernising ports, subsidising the building of containes and container ships, negotiating contracts with shipping carriers that promise them space and cargo at ports)
There is one caveat though: The book is long, and it's not very coherent, the author chose to tell the story of how containers took over global shipping not as a timeline starting from non-container shipping (break-bulk) to container shipping, and rather, as a story of incidents which overlap in time, but are mostly independent in place and time of occurence. That makes the book confusing to read because there are several references to what happened in 1967 and it gets harder and harder to understand in the first half of the book until it all comes together in the second half of the book. That is my only gripe with the book.
Each year, approximately 1,500 transportation incidents occur when undeclared hazardous materials are shipped. To reduce the number of new incidents, PHMSA launched the Check the Box initiative, an educational campaign promoting public awareness of the need for safer shipping of hazardous materials.
Food/beverage will be available onsite. Guests are encouraged to bring low-back chairs and/or blankets, and to dress warmly. For the Friday and Saturday evening performances, it would be a good idea to bring a flashlight to find your way back to your car after the performance. Sorry, but pets are not allowed.
The intent of this ordinance is to increase fairness in hiring for individuals with criminal histories and to allow the opportunity to first compete and be considered for a job position based on their abilities and qualifications, without the inclusion of information regarding their criminal record.
Any alleged violation of the Ordinance will be referred to and investigated by the Civil Rights Enforcement Agency for the City of St. Louis. Violations can then be recommended to the Office of the License Collector for employer compliance.
If an employer is found in violation, penalties may consist of warnings, orders of compliance and civil penalties for initial violations with potential revocation of your business operating license for subsequent violations. Anyone aggrieved by a violation of the Ordinance may submit a complaint to the Civil Rights Enforcement Agency, who will investigate the claim.
Employers may inquire about criminal history only after determining that the applicant is otherwise qualified for the position, and only after the applicant has been interviewed for the position, and criminal history inquiry must also be made of all applicants in the final selection pool from which the job would be filled.
Certain provisions of the ordinance do not apply to job positions where federal or state law and regulations, or City ordinance prohibits employers from employing individuals with certain criminal histories. The ordinance does not cover employers with less than ten employees.
Individuals aggrieved by a violation of the ordinance may submit complaints to the Civil Rights Enforcement Agency (CREA) for investigation. CREA will then recommend complaints to have been determined with merit to the Office of the License Collector for employer compliance.
