A docker is someone whose job is loading and ships: boxes, bags, and now big metal containers. It is especially a British word. In American English people more often say , or the older . The work is heavy, outdoor, and tied to the port; it used to be one of the classic union jobs in cities like London and Liverpool. Though actually, if you see Docker with a capital D on a computer, that is a different thing entirely — a software name that only shares the spelling. This docker is a person on the quay, not a program.
