Hundreds of dock workers at the Port of Liverpool will take part in another week of strike action after their demands for better wages and working conditions were not met.
Almost 600 Mersey Docks and Harbour Company employees will return to the picket line outside the port in Seaforth tomorrow. Around 40 control room operators will join the 560 port operatives and engineers who took action last month over MDHC’s 8.3% pay offer, which they say amounts to a pay cut as it is not in-line with the rate of inflation.
They also objected to what they say is MDHC’s failure to honour a 2021 pay agreement, which includes the company not undertaking a promised pay review (which last happened in 1995) and failing to deliver agreed improvements to shift rotas.
