The international Workers’ body has vowed to stay with the Liverpool dockers until they get a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work.
“ITF leadership was in Liverpool this week to meet the 560 Unite the union Liverpool dockers who are striking for pay justice.

“You’ve got the support of the global dockers community. We stand together, and I’m with you right until victory.”
