Almost 2,000 workers at the U.K.’s biggest container port will launch an eight-day strike on Sunday over a pay dispute, the latest industrial action to hit a growing number of sectors of the economy.
Empty platforms at Wandsworth Common Station in south London, Saturday Aug. 12, 2022. Rail services are set to be severely disrupted as members of the Transport Salaried Staffs Association and the Rail, Maritime and Transport union strike in a continuing row over pay, jobs and conditions.
The strike comes as people across the U.K. faced travel disruptions Saturday for the third day this week as thousands of rail workers continued a summer of strikes to seek better pay and job security amid soaring food and energy price hikes. Port authorities, for their part, said they were “disappointed” that Unite did not “come to the table for constructive discussions to find a resolution.”
