Tensions are mounting between Port of Liverpool bosses and dock workers as the ongoing row over pay and working conditions reaches a stalemate.
Peel Ports has called on striking dock workers to "call off this self-defeating industrial action" after accusing the union of “significantly misrepresenting” their final pay offer, which they say accurately reflects inflation rates and the mounting cost of living crisis.
But Unite the Union, which represents the dockers, accused the company of "fudging the numbers," as the company's claim of a 10.2% increase was "based on the maximum someone could earn if they work overtime on top of their weekly contracted hours".
