This is no ‘casual’ matter, keep the committed workforce at Port of
Yarmouth, says Unite
6th July 2009
WHEN: 4:30pm, Thursday, 9th July 2009
WHERE: South Quay, Port offices
Unite members and workers from the Port of Yarmouth will be
joined by dock workers from across the country to protest about the
dismissal of the Yarmouth dockers and the casualisation of the
dock.
Unite members from Felixstowe, Thamesport, Dover, the Humber and
Southampton will be gathering outside the South Quay port offices
in Great Yarmouth. They will be addressed by the union’s
national secretary, Brendan Gold.
Ahead of the protest, Victor Brazkiewicz, Unite regional
industrial organiser, said: “We are delighted with the support we
are receiving from colleagues in other ports as well as the support
received from the local Yarmouth community.
“At Yarmouth the workforce is committed to continuing the
campaign for permanent jobs and they have the total support of the
union in their endeavours.”
This protest is another step in Unite’s campaign against
casualisation at the port.
