WE'LL MAKE DOCK STRIKE GO GLOBAL

World workers 'to black port's ships'

- BEN TURNER

UNIONS are threatening to cripple Britain's largest port with the help of dockers around the globe.

Felixstowe is already reeling from a week-long strike with 1,900 workers demanding a 12% rise.

But now a union national officer claims workers in the US, Europe, and Australia are set to help the strikers by refusing to load and unload ships from the Suffolk port if its owners do not agree to wage demands by Tuesday.

And it could mean Felixstowe's losses in trade could top £1billion after a week of walkouts that have already cost around £680million.
