Företaget i Storbritannien sparkade via Zoom digitalt möte (!) 800 st sjömän i Storbritannien. RMT facket som organiserar både sjömän, järnvägsarbetare och tunnelbanepersonal protesterar mot detta. Alla sjömän är kvar på sina poster och vägrar lämna båtarna.

Seko Tunnelbanan, Klubb 111 skickade idag ett solidaritetsuttalande till våra kamrater i Storbritannien

Här nedan är uttalandet.

”Seko Klubb 111, the union who organises all workers in Stockholm´s underground in Sweden, expresses its solidarity with the seafarers of P&O Ferries and the RMT Union in their fight against the multinational shipping company P&O that fired 800 seafarers on Thursday 17 March through a ZOOM call (!) of the employer, which aims to replace the seafarers from contractors with lower salaries, even through the transfer of employees from other countries. 

According to the RMT union, there were cases where security forces were used and even handcuffed the workers to take them away from their posts.

We also notice that this kind of attacks from various governments and companies are taking place in many countries to undermine workers’ rights to decent wages, with rights and Collective Bargaining Agreements.

Seko Klubb 111 expresses its support to the mobilizations of the RMT Union and P&O seafarers in Liverpool, Dover and Hull on Friday. We are on your side and we support your fair fight for the cancelation of the dismissals.”

With comrade greetings
