According to our latest information: Felixstowe, the largest container port in the United Kingdom, announced on its official website:
It has received notice from Unite, the trade union, of further strike action between 07:00 on 27 September and 06:59 on 5 October, which is also expected to last eight days.
It was the second general strike in less than half a month at the port of Felixstowe after an initial eight-day strike in August.
The company has received notice from Unite the union of further strike action from 07:00 on 27 September to 06:59 on 5 October.
We are very disappointed that Unite has announced this further strike action at this time. The collective bargaining process has been exhausted and there is no prospect of agreement being reached with the union.
The port is in the process of implementing the 2022 pay award of 7% plus £500 which is backdated to 1 January 2022.
