  • Côte ouest: les dockers pourraient freiner la reprise de l’activité portuaire
    Le travail a donc repris dans les 29 ports américains de la côte ouest américaine placés sous le régime de réquisition que permet la loi Taft-Hartley. Nombreux sont les milieux d’affaires de cette partie des USA qui s’interrogent sur l’efficacité du travail portuaire au cours des prochaines semaines. Assez paradoxalement, la loi en question est destinée à remettre au travail des dockers en grève. Or, ils ne l’étaient pas officiellement. Le syndicat ILWU, pour imposer ses exigences, avait préféré opter pour la tactique du travail au ralenti, ce qui avait amené les exploitants de terminaux à instaurer le lock-out. Les deux parties sont donc réquisitionnées. Toutefois, les propos tenus par la haute direction de l’ILWU ne sont pas passés inaperçus: “Le syndicat se réjouit du retour au travail, mais nous ne sommes pas heureux de l’intervention présidentielle. Les dockers suivront strictement le contrat et les règles de sécurité...” En d’autres termes, les dockers se contenteront de faire le strict nécessaire.
  • ABX: l’UPTR veut que le gouvernement respecte sa parole
    L’Union Professionnelle du Transport Routier (UPTR) se déclare “très préoccupée par l’évolution d’ABX et des décisions qui pourraient êtres prises par la SNCB”. Cette déclaration, écrit l’UPTR dans un communiqué, est soutenue par le groupe Ziegler et la Confédération des Expéditeurs de Belgique (CEB). Cette inquiétude est motivée “par les derniers résultats d’ABX, fin août 2002, qui font apparaître une perte nette de 42 mio d’EUR, ce qui se situe bien en deçà du budget 2002”, dit le communiqué. Et d’avertir que si jamais la SNCB devait décider d’une nouvelle injection d’argent frais - sous quelque forme que ce soit - dans sa division logistique, l’UPTR devra durcir sa position.
