Dublin Dockworkers Dispute
There is no translation available, please select a different language.
Dublin Dockers sixteen
week long strike against their employer, Peel Ports Marine Terminals Ltd had ended
in a victory on October 20. Unfortunately, one can read the following dismaying
notice on the Dockers web site:
“It has been over 4 weeks since
the strikers stood down their picket yet, despite numerous
meetings between SIPTU officials and company management, not 1
man or woman who walked that picket line for 16 weeks has been allowed
back to work.”
After the 24-hour strike on November 6, French Ports continue taking industrial action.
From November 16 all ports will have either an overtime ban or will cancel 2 night shifts per week.
Industrial actions will escalate unless the government is ready to offer quick and satisfactory answers to all the demands from the Fédération des Ports et Docks CGT.
