ITF comment on West Coast agreement

29 julio 2008

ITF Dockers' Section Chair Paddy Crumlin has been contacted by ILWU President Bob McEllrath to say the union had reached a provisional agreement between the negotiating groups.

Paddy Crumlin commented: "The resolution at the negotiating table is a great breakthrough and an historic moment. I have extended the ITF's congratulations to Bob and his team. It is an important development for all dockworkers, maritime workers, and transport workers in general."

Frank Leys, ITF Dockers's Section Secretary, added: "This is a good result gained in difficult times through dedicated negotiation."

He continued: "In London and in ports around the world ITF dockers have been watching and waiting, and standing behind our colleagues in the ILWU as they sought to defend their members' rights at a time of international economic difficulty. Through solidarity and negotiation they and the PMA have pulled off a deal which seeks to protect workers and promote legitimate trade."

ENDS
