The Dockers Union was formed in 1889, following the London Dock Strike, with Tom Mann as President and Ben Tillett as General Secretary. 30,000 members were enrolled into the new union and this had risen to 57,000 in 1890. Thereafter, a downturn in trade, coupled with a fierce employer offensive caused a membership decline. By the end of 1894, the membership of the union across the country was 10,600. In 1922, the Union was amalgamated into the Transport and General Workers Union.
