Press conference Friday: Attacks on Mumbai port drivers

02/12/09

High level ITF and Indian union representatives will speak out on Friday in Mumbai on the intimidation of port drivers that has led them to publicly demand that shipping and port giant Møller-Maersk get rid of the contractor responsible. They will do so at a press conference at 13:00 on Friday, 4th December in the Lotus Room of the Trident Hotel, Nariman Point, Mumbai. (Please see www.tridenthotels.com/mumbai_nariman_point/hotel/location_access.asp for directions). You are invited to attend.

The press conference will be headed by Mahendra Sharma, ITF Asia-Pacific Regional Secretary; Paddy Crumlin, General Secretary of the Maritime Union of Australia, and Chair of the ITF Dockers’ Section; and SR Kulkarni, President of the TDWU (Transport and Dock Workers’ Union).

The speakers will come directly from meetings of ITF-affiliated dockers’ unions where the situation in Mumbai is being reported on, following the Federation’s call last month to Møller-Maersk to finally sever its relations with the contractor, SC Thakur, which it alleges has repeatedly attacked port drivers. Full details of the joint ITF-Indian union action and the reasons for it can be seen at www.itfglobal.org/press-area/index.cfm/pressdetail/3950/region/1/section/0/order/1

ENDS

After the press conference Mahendra Sharma, ITF Asia-Pacific Regional Secretary (telephone: +91 98 110 66 499) will be available to take calls from those unable to attend. Mumbai is 5.5 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. From 9th December Stuart Howard, ITF General Secretary (telephone: +44 (0)7796178114) will also be available.
