Rotterdam Dockworkers' Strike Suspended by Court Order
Dockworkers at the Port of Rotterdam have returned to work after a court ordered a temporary end to their strike, which had disrupted cargo operations for nearly a week.
The strike, which began on Wednesday, was called by dockworkers employed by ILS and Matrans, who are seeking a new collective labor agreement. The workers, known as sjorders or lashers, are responsible for fastening and unfastening containers.
- The Rotterdam court ruled that the strike could continue until Monday morning, but must then be paused to allow workers to clear backlogs.
- Talks between the trade union FNV and the two companies are scheduled to resume, with the union demanding a 6.5 percent pay increase, down from an initial demand of 7 percent.
- ILS and Matrans maintain that the revised proposal is still too high.
The court also said the strike may resume on Friday morning if talks fail to produce an agreement.
Author's summary: Dockworkers' strike suspended until Friday.
