Callao dockers strike continues as APM accused of using crew to unload cargo

ニュース

ITF-affiliate SUTRAMPORCPC has accused APM of intransigence in refusing to negotiate over workers’ demands for fair pay and of acting illegally, as in Peru crew from vessels are not authorised to undertake unloading in port, given their lack of expertise.  It has suspended talks until the company shows genuine interest in ending the dispute.

Five members and leaders of SUTRAMPORPC, including the secretary general, were arbitrarily arrested by state intelligence officers on the first day of the strike on 13 May.
The ITF immediately wrote to president Humala to demand their release and the union denounced the arrests to Callao’s judge and ombudsman’s office, stating that they violated the freedom of the individual and the freedom of association, on which the ILO’s Committee on Freedom of Association had already issued an opinion. The men were released without charge several hours later.

Geraldo Honores, SUTRAMPORPC secretary general, said: “Despite our best efforts there is no solution in sight. APM Terminals prefers to sustain losses before granting port workers fair wage increases.

"As the strike continues, the violations of union rights have worsened. APM Terminals is now reported to also be using Peruvian navy personnel to carry our dockers’ work.
 
“While workers are organising food points for the dockers during the strike, APM is advertising internationally for a human resources post in Callao port, claiming it to be a good working environment. This is a mockery of the real situation there, as hundreds of workers remain paralysed by the labour dispute.”
 
Last week, the ITF dockers’ section called on APMT to engage in proper negotiations with SUTRAMPORPC, end its discrimination against dockers and agree wage increases in line with company profit – read more at http://goo.gl/8chxmB.
