SOCIALIST Campaign Group MPs and RMT leader Mick Lynch crowded onto the Port of Liverpool dockers’ picket line in the morning drizzle today.
Mr Lynch said to cheers that struggles like the dockers’ showed “the working class is back” and said Unite’s record of successful strikes was inspiring other unions in struggle.
Liverpool West Derby MP Ian Byrne told the dockers, who have been on pickets since September 20, that they had the “solidarity of the city and the world,” pointing to the stream of cars and lorries honking in support and the banners from dock workers’ unions in other countries.
