Message of Solidarity and Support for Dockers in Grangemouth, Scotland
At the meeting of the International Dockworkers Council in Antwerp on 9th March, Dockworkers from across Europe gathered to discuss the attacks on our brothers in the Port of Grangemouth in Scotland. Despite cowardly threats and intimidation, the Grangemouth Dockers have bravely stood up to their company, and that they have voted to strike back against forced changes to their working practices and attacks upon their pensions. We learn that this company is organizing scab labor and lockouts of the dockworkers.
