The operator of the Port of Liverpool has issued a statement after plans for another walkout by staff were confirmed.
It was confirmed on Thursday that around 600 Liverpool port workers will stage an additional seven days of industrial action next month. Unite the Union said senior control room operators and control room operators will join port operatives and engineer colleagues in a week-long strike from 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. Sharon Graham, Unite general secretary, said its members were not paid to back down in its struggle with port operator Mersey Docks and Harbour Company (MDHC).
