Striking #Liverpool dockers are getting strung up in the press-simply for asking for an RPI-matching pay rise so they can survive
But the #MSM never mention this ๐๐ผ @PeelPorts isnโt calling for wage restraint for their leadership teams!
Get this RTd & break the corporate spin๐๐ผ
Today I stood on the picket line with workers at #LiverpoolDocks. MDHC is controlled by a tax-exiled billionaire & can well afford to pay these workers a proper pay rise. @unitetheunion will not tolerate attacks on their living standards while the company gets richer and richer.
MDHC dock workers in Liverpool began strike action today in their fight for better pay, terms and conditions.
Their message is clear, they are prepared to fight for what they deserve. Time for MDHC to get back to negotiations and make a fair offer.

โThis strikes fair as weโre talking about an employer here who is awash with money, yet when you get back around the negotiating table they donโt want to share the proceeds. These workers deserve a fair slice of the pie that they helped to bake.โ Steve Gerrard, Unite.
