'Keep going': Jamie Carragher in support as 560 dockers walk out on strike

Jamie Carragher sent a message to striking dockers to "keep going" as hundreds are expected to join picket lines today.

The former Liverpool defender and Sky Sports pundit, sent the message in solidarity with over 560 Port of Liverpool workers who tonight begin a two-week-long strike. The striking dockers - members of the Unite the union - voted in favour of industrial action in response to a pay offer they considered unsatisfactory.

Carragher told those playing to strike to "keep going" and said that he is "fully behind" the strike action. He said the striking dockers "fully deserved everything" they are asking for.
