Job loss plans at the Port of Liverpool have been slammed by a union boss.
Peel Ports bosses have decided to restructure the company's containers division, and will next week start a redundancy consultation process following a decline in the volume of containers handled by the port.
The announcement comes as some 600 employees of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company, which Peel Ports oversees, plan a second round of strike action over an 8.3% pay offer and an alleged failure to deliver agreed improvements to shift rotas.
