ITF and IDC promoting justice for dockers

news

The one-day high level meeting agreed a statement of intent that committed both organisations to ‘find ways of working more closely together with the aim of strengthening solidarity between dockworkers' globally and supporting each other in fighting back against attacks on their working terms and conditions, and job security.’

The statement continued: ‘These common challenges faced by our members are the result of significant changes in maritime transport, and some employers and governments pursuing a neo-liberal agenda characterised by union busting including through automation, the casualisation of jobs and deregulation of labour standards and protections.  Collective agreements are increasingly being violated and we are concerned over health and safety conditions in ports, as well as attempts to limit dockworkers’ ability to exercise their trade union rights.

‘We have established a joint committee to develop a strategy and plan actions urgently to tackle the key challenges and issues faced by dockworkers globally.’

The ITF and IDC also agreed to work together on campaigning and solidarity support to secure and maintain dockworkers' rights internationally, especially in the global terminal operating companies (GNTs), and managing the impact of automation, securing lashing work and respect for dockworkers’ jurisdiction.

ITF president and dockers’ section chair Paddy Crumlin described the meeting as a landmark event. “This meeting was hugely worthwhile,” he said. “It brought together two organisations committed to fighting for dockers. As a result of today we are now best placed to promote the rights and roles of this vital workforce.”

Jordi Aragunde, IDC general coordinator, also welcomed the results of the meeting, saying it was designed to further joint efforts to aid and represent dockers worldwide. He added that it was a pleasure to see it result in such concrete outcomes.

It's really very complex in this active life
to listen news on TV, thus I only use world wide web for that reason, and take the most up-to-date information.

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any
issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My
site has a lot of exclusive content I've either written myself or outsourced but it
appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement.

Do you know any methods to help protect against content from
being ripped off? I'd definitely appreciate it.

Hey fantastic website! Does running a blog similar to this require a
great deal of work? I have very little expertise in computer programming but I had been hoping to start
my own blog in the near future. Anyways, if you have any ideas or tips for new blog owners please share.
I understand this is off topic but I just needed to ask.
Many thanks!

Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be at
the web the easiest factor to keep in mind of.
I say to you, I definitely get annoyed at the same
time as people consider issues that they just don't
understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the entire thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal.

Will likely be again to get more. Thanks
