Dover Port workers to strike next week

11/15/2008 9:34:32 AM

Hundreds of Unite union members working at the Dover Harbour Board will take part in a rally and demonstration on Saturday November 15th in protest against the outsourcing of their jobs.   Union members will also begin a 48-hour strike at 07h00 on Tuesday, November 18th.   However, Unite says it does not take strike action lightly, and is still prepared to negotiate over the best way of protecting its members' jobs.   From January, many of the port's operations will be opened to commercial contractors, a move that will affect almost 200 jobs.   Eyefortransport
