Port and Dock workers to go on nationwide strike from July
16

Functioning of
all major ports is likely to be affected from July 16 2008
with the Minister for Shipping, Road Transport and
Highways, Mr T.R. Baalu, declining to accept demands of
port workers in a meeting in New Delhi today.
The Port and Dock Workers Federation has called for a
nationwide indefinite strike from July 16 in support of
their wage demands as per the Bipartite Wage Settlement
Committee recommendations. Major ports are those ports
that are under the Central jurisdiction.
The five recognised federations of port and dock workers
who recently met at Mumbai under the umbrella of All India
Port and Dock Workers Federation (AIPDWF) had decided to
serve the strike notice to all port authorities in the
country in support of their demands.
In view of the above strike it is likely shipment movement
may get hampered and the resultant will be port demurrage
at all terminals.
