ITF leadership was in Liverpool this week to meet the 560 Unite the union Liverpool dockers who are striking for pay justice. The port's owner made £141 million in profit last year - more than its entire wage bill. 73% more than pre-pandemic. Yet the company is telling these workers to take a real-terms pay cut. This is as UK inflation could hit 20% by January. ITF Dockers' Section coordinator Enrico Tortolano was clear: "You've got the support of the global dockers community. We stand together, and I'm with you right until victory." The ITF and our 700 affiliates will stand with the Liverpool dockers until they get a fair day's pay for a fair day's work.
