Probably to keep his status as a part of the longshoreman union. You still have to work the job to be a part, etc...

He's lost everything he cares about, and this is all he knows. In defiance of the inevitable

Maybe he believed what Tolstoy said, that manual labor is the most basic way to rid oneself of the complexities and anxieties of civilized life. I personally also think it was Sobotka's attempt to turn back the hands of time; to go back to his roots and return to a simpler time in his life, before the complications that lead him to the inevitable dead end he finds himself in.

It's been a while, but what I remember thinking is that Frank was doing Pennance. He always had the better interests of his community at heart. Taking that guys union card and working his shift for him was failure and defeat, but it wasn't giving up. Frank was a decent and honest man. For the story Simmons told, guys like that exist only to get ground into the inevitable machine.
And there's a lot of truth in that. Frank tried. It was never that he didn't try.

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I assumed it was to represent the decline in the dock work leading to those guys becoming homeless.
