Sweden: Solidarity strike for dockworkers in Spain
Sveriges Television, 06 Mar 2017, online:-
The Swedish Dockworkers' Union (Svenska Hamnarbetarförbundet) has given notice to major Swedish ports about a strike on 10 March. It concerns a solidarity strike for dockworkers in Spain which are at risk of losing their jobs. This follows a ruling in the EU Court of Justice in which the Spanish and Belgian pool systems for dockworkers were rejected. Eskil Rönnér, Chairman at the Swedish Dockworkers Union, says that he is hopeful that the strike will be effective in Spain, and argues that solidarity strikes have previously influenced major votes for example in the European Parliament.
