Around 600 Liverpool port workers will stage an additional seven days of industrial action next month.
Unite the Union confirmed that senior control room operators and control room operators at the Port of Liverpool will join port operatives and engineer colleagues in a week-long strike on October 11. In addition, the port’s dock masters, shift managers and vessel traffic services officers are also preparing to be balloted for strike action.
More than 500 workers have already staged a walkout in the past two weeks over pay and conditions. The new action has been prompted by anger at a pay offer of around 8.3%, by Mersey Docks and Harbour Company (MDHC), deemed a pay cut by union officials.
