UNITE campaigners are set to target the annual general meeting of Port of Felixstowe-owners CK Hutchison in Hong Kong tomorrow following the “unfair sacking of the Felixstowe Four.”

It is also seeking meetings with the wealthy multinational’s key investors, including Allianz, Barclays, Blackrock, Goldman Sachs and HSBC.
