Tilbury Dockers Dispute Update


The latest news from the SCA terminal in Tilbury is that management have announced that if new terms and conditions are not accepted within one month then SCA will begin to make Dockers redundant and replace them with agency workers. Industrial action at the terminal is inevitable as these Dockers defend their livelihoods against SCA's attacks

exact same thing happened here in Dublin in 2009, it did not end well for us! Too many dockers lost their jobs to scabs 

 That makes me so so angry . Support from Zeebrugge,

agency workers is something God made in anger, to destroy the normal work ethic.

and what are we doing about the agency, undermining, all our conditions then? which one is it?

 i think it reflects on the agresive behavior, of industry in this country! no longer do they respect the value we add, to there buisness. i wish them well. and if i can support in any way just shout!

where does the international transport federation stand on this?


We're having increasing problems with management at the SCA terminals in Sundsvall and Holmsund in the north of Sweden. The company is threatening to lay off a number of dockers while the use of overtime and casuals nis still on a very high level. 
The membership have voted in favour of indsutrial action which may be put into play shortly. The Swedish dockers are awaiting a request for solidarity action from our Tilbury comrades. Your fight is out fight.
