Dock workers at the Port of Liverpool in the UK have secured inflation busting wage increases after nearly eight weeks of strike action, according to their union.
Unite, the dockers’ union, said its members at the port had won pay hikes of “between 14% and 18% plus, according to job grades”.
In a statement Friday, the facility’s owner Peel Ports Group said the proposal offered a basic wage increase of 9%, plus an increase in the allowance for night-shift workers that boosts the package by an extra 0.2%
