"On
Tuesday a one-hour strike in solidarity with the Portuguese dockers
brought all production in the port of Gothenburg to a standstill.
Solidarity strikes between 8.00 and 9.00 AM were held all over Sweden
and in seven other European countries to support the striking dockers in
Portugal. Today's international industrial action, coordinated by the
International Dockworkers' Council, coincided with
the opening of the EU-commission's meeting in Brussels concerning the future of the port industry.
From Gothenburg and other Swedish ports, the message was clear: We stand with our Portuguese collegues in their important struggle for decent working conditions and respect for health and safety."
