Lifter’s Mooring
In 4715 AR, several dock workers refused to continue working at Ogrekin Hall after scaffolding collapsed and crushed the legs of dock worker Guyton Grerton. Ptarnex Dexarion, the owner of Ogrekin Hall and Absalom’s unofficial Second Harbormaster, refused to pay any sort of compensation to the worker. He claimed that manual labor was dangerous, and it was a risk Guyton took. Once word of this mistreatment spread, dock workers from every shipping and warehousing business in the Docks also refused to work and pooled their meager savings to purchase magical healing for Guyton. After literally getting back on his feet, Guyton started Lifter’s Mooring to organize the dock workers and ensure they were well taken care of.
Lifter’s Mooring has unionized almost all of the dock and warehouse workers in the district and is looking to expand into other parts of Absalom. Since forming Lifter’s Mooring, incidents of accidents and worker mistreatment have greatly diminished. As a result, Guyton recently obtained a seat on the Dock Council.
