6,000 European dockers disembark in Strasbourg on 16 January
On 16 January, 6,000 dockers from 16 European Countries will demonstrate in Strasbourg to ask for the rejection of the proposal for a directive on liberalisation of port services. The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) supports this demonstration organised by the European Transport Workers’ Federation.
After last November’s successful demonstration in Brussels, the European Transport Workers’ Federation, representing 2.5 million transport workers in 39 European countries, is calling for a massive demonstration to be held in Strasbourg on Monday 16 January from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm.
Some 6,000 dockers from Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, France, UK, Germany, Italy, Finland, Greece, Spain, Cyprus, Malta, Sweden, Poland, Portugal and Norway will support Members of the European Parliament who decided to oppose this unnecessary, provocative and unbalanced proposal which was presented less than one year after the historical vote of the European Parliament rejecting the first proposal.
