STORY: Over 1,900 workers at Britain’s largest container port continued their strike on Monday. The British dockworkers have announced that they will stop working for a total of eight days. This is likely to bring a large part of the import and export business to a standstill. The workers at the port of Felixstowe on the east coast of England are demanding higher wages, especially given the sharp increase in the cost of living. According to the union, around 48% of all containers brought into the UK pass through the Port of Felixstowe, making it a major import hub for the UK. The Unite union, which mainly represents dockers, called the strike after a failed agreement with the employer, the Felixstowe Dock and Railway Company. The offer of a seven percent wage increase was not high enough for the union in view of skyrocketing consumer prices. Inflation climbed to over 10 percent in the UK in July.
