Dock Walkout To Continue In Britain Amid Shipping Tie Ups
London dockers voted to keep the six week walkout going to the bitter end after northern port picket lines formed at major piers. The 18,500 worker strike has halted nearly 200 ships and disrupted exports and imports, pitting the National Amalgamated Stevedores and Dockers Union against the TGWU and the TUC. A possible settlement faded as talks stalled. A weekend unofficial seamen’s strike in Liverpool and Southampton ended after 27 days, costing shipping firms over 50 million dollars and delaying more than 15,000 transatlantic passengers.
