Climate activists join striking dock workers on port picket line

Striking dock workers at the Port of Liverpool were joined by environmental activists four days into their fight for better wages and working conditions.

Campaigners from the Liverpool City Region Climate Justice Coalition, Friends of the Earth, Extinction Rebellion Wirral, Save Rimrose Valley, Green New Deal Rising, and Axe Drax joined port operatives and engineers outside the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company (MDHC) today, September 23.

The picket line could continue until October 3 as the dock workers continue to strike over a 8.3% pay rise offer, which they say amounts to a pay cut as it is not in line with the current rate of inflation.
