Solidarity from an Aussie PPTEU brother

We send full support to your struggle! We are also on strike in South Africa; the cranes in every port are up. As in Liverpool we are struggling for an increase greater than inflation, but our bosses are refusing an increase even at inflation. As with you we will struggle until we succeed! We look forward to building solidarity internationally; supporting each other in struggle. We need united action in resisting privatization as well as in fighting for higher wages. United we stand strong!

Sending all my solidarity to the Liverpool dockers!! You are leading the way for the working class in this country by fighting for the wages and working conditions you deserve. You make every penny of profit at the Liverpool docks and deserve a pay packet that allows you to support you families. Keep the faith!

Solidarity with the Liverpool Dock workers who deserve a fair wage for a fair days work instead of profits for bosses. Proud that you're fighting for what's right and helping lay decent wage foundations for all British workers experiencing the same level of disrespect and under value.

Good morning and thank you to all those who are out on strike, making a huge sacrifice to challenge the ugly, greedy system which is terrorising the vulnerable and the poor.
Anon

God bless the dock workers for setting and example to us all, to show that getting up off our knees is the only way to find our dignity. Long live trade unions and all who fight for justice, fair pay and human rights.

Solidarity from Andy Coles in Manchester (UCU retired). Came to your picket a few years back. Best wishes.
Andy ✊🏼

Support to striking workers at Liverpool docks, total respect for taking this brave decision to stand up for your rights and a company that puts profit before people. I am a retired teacher who as a member of the then NUT striked and went on a picket line in the 'stand up for Education' campaign. As a socialist I am dismayed at the now Labour Party and rather than it being infiltrated by the left it has been and is infiltrated by the right. I think action outside parliament is the only answer and am proud to support all the current initiatives, enough is enough, insulate, stop oil, we won't pay and striking workers. We are many ✊
Julie

Solidarity to the striking Liverpool dockers standing up for pay justice from Chesterfield and District Trades Union Council. We will be marching this Saturday in solidarity with you and all other workers taking action at our SOLIDARITY WITH THE STRIKERS: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH march and rally.

Solidarity to striking workers - all power to you! Thank you for taking action and fighting for a better more just world where workers labour is properly paid.
Lena

Especially backing you after my first visit to Liverpool (17-20 Sept), went with friends as my birthday was on that weekend and only happened to find something online by chance that you were striking after I got home. Unfortunately we returned on morning of the 20th, had we stayed longer and I'd known beforehand I might have tried to join you to support in person. As it is, I've been supporting some local actions and happened to keep a placard on my backpack even while travelling encouraging people to join a union (I saw no reason to stop spreading the message). I support all workers standing for their rights and really hope you folks win a righteous victory soon.
Solidarity from Yeovil, Somerset.

Solidarity from me in the West Country to the dockers in Liverpool!✊🚩. MDHC should stop being stubborn and pay the dockers a decent wage, they have no excuses! Keep fighting!
Paul


It was great to be able to bring a bit of support from Manchester TUC to the picket this afternoon. I've posted a little update and some pics to spread the word: here.  If any of the strikers would like to visit Manchester to raise some solidarity we would be happy to help arrange that.
Solidarity!

Paul

Solidarity with the Liverpool Dockers strike for a fair psy rise. Stay firm.
Peter

I'm on your side! It sickens me to see these huge profits being made and not going to the people who did all the work. Every day during lockdown I used to think of how you were all going to work to make sure that the food and goods continued to come into the country and our exporters continued to be able to export. You are all heroes.
Diana

Love and solidarity from Liverpool John Moores UCU branch. It's time we showed where the power in this country really lies with us, the people who do the work, whether on the docks or in schools, universities or offices. We're just at the beginning of term but will come down with our banner to show solidarity later this week. Together we are stronger than any government

Keep on with your fight, I strongly believe that ALL unions in this country should come out on strike TOGETHER in our fight for a fairer deal and conditions with our employers but also after the latest budget to take on this vicious right wing government and bring the bastard's down. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Solidarity with all fellow workers ✊✊✊.

Wages have been stifled for many years now. So the Dockers need a fair wage out of the huge profits.
