Nearly 600 Liverpool port workers are taking two more weeks of strike action over pay and jobs from 24 October to 7 November.

See socialistparty.org.uk ‘Liverpool dockers speak to the Socialist’ for an interview with Unite stewards about their action.

The workers have been subject to job threats, despite plans to expand the port. Unite has exposed that, despite the bosses’ statements, the workers are being offered 10.2%, the real offer is around 8.2%, a real-terms pay cut.
