TRANSPORT workers protested outside a conference attended by an exploitative port firm yesterday in the South African city of Durban.

Trade unionists turned out in support of the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) campaign against International Container Terminal Services Incorporated (ICTSI) which has been caught paying staff poverty wages.

They braved the rain outside the Terminal Operators’ Conference Africa in Durban, which was also attended by South African President Jacob Zuma.
