The port workers of Felixstowe will go on strike again
The salary agreement proposed unilaterally by the Felixstowe Dock and Railway Co. of the CK Hutchison group was rejected
September 13, 2022
The union complained that the company had stopped unilaterally the negotiations on salary renewal after refused to improve its offer, communicating instead the imposition of a +7% increase in wages, increase - has underlined Unite - which actually represents a considerable cut in pay in view of the current rate of real inflation which is +12.3%. The union has specified that 82% of workers voted to reject the offer.
Hence the decision to proclaim a new strike that will take place from 26 to 5 October. "The last round of strikes - highlighted Bobby Morton, head of Unite for the port sector - it is fully chargeable to Felixtowe, a company that, rather than trying to negotiate an agreement to resolve the dispute, he tried instead to impose a pay agreement. Further initiatives of strike will inevitably cause delays and interruptions in the UK supply chain, but that's entirely attributable to the holding'.
