docker
Cargo handling laborer
A docker is a dockworker—someone who loads and unloads cargo from ships at a port.
The term is more common in British English than American, where longshoreman or stevedore are preferred: The dockers went on strike over wages. (Capitalized Docker is containerization software.)
