ITF/ETF dockers take action to back Spanish colleagues

Belgian dockers from the ITF and ETF-affiliated BTB-ABVV, ACV Transcom and ACLVB unions are protesting on the dockside in Antwerp now against the arrival of the world’s second biggest container ship, the Maersk Madrid. They are mobilising in solidarity with their Spanish colleagues in the FSC-CCOO and FESMC-UGT, who are taking action against the country’s so-called port reform, after the ship had diverted from Algeciras and unloaded in Tangier.
