Dockworkers Worldwide Strike Against Arms Shipments and to Demand Better Working Conditions
Dockworkers in Europe and beyond were striking on Friday as part of an international campaign against arms shipments and for better working conditions, unions said. Unions in France, Italy, Greece, Spain, Türkiye and Morocco issued a joint call for an end to wars in the Middle East, including the war in Gaza, and “an end to the militarization of ports.” “Ports must not be used for the transport of weapons, ammunition, military equipment and troops,” the statement said. “Dockworkers do not work for war!”
