THE
International Dockworkers' Council labour union said it will stage a
two-hour strike Thursday June 29 as a show of solidarity with Spanish
dockers on strike against job-killing port reforms.
Spanish
dockers held a 48-hour strike June 14 and 15 following a breakdown in talks on
saving 6,000 jobs to be eliminated in reforms voted on by the Cortes, the
Spanish parliament.
Under
the new rules port loading services are open to competition and companies are
allowed to hire freely.
Future
48-hour strikes in Spain are a strong possibility, the workers have indicated,
reports American Shipper.
The
pan-European strike is set for 10am to noon Thursday June 29 at ports in
Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Greece, Latvia, Malta, Montenegro,
Portugal, the UK, Spain, Slovenia and Sweden, according to the union.
