letter from Jim Nolan to supporters
At a mass meeting today, the Liverpool Dockers decided to call an end to their long running dispute on a recommendation from their shop stewards.
The decision to end the dispute was taken after hearing about a number of very important and significant developments which made it more or less impossible to continue.
We ask the comrades to appreciate the difficulty that confronts us at
this stage and understand that all the relevant details of the final settlement
will follow in due course.
Thanks for all your magnificent and wonderful support.
Yours in Solidarity,
Jim Nolan
Merseyside Port Shop Stewards Committee
LabourNet salutes the courage, tenacity, and imagination of the Liverpool Dockers and Women of the Waterfront, whose 28 month fight against lockout by Mersey Docks and Harbour Company and in defense of the right to refuse to cross a picket line, has now ended.
