SWEDISH dockers took a day of action today against the sacking of a leading trade unionist by Gothenburg RoRo Terminal.
Swedish Dockworkers’ Union (SDU) deputy chairman Erik Helgeson was fired in “a blatant act of retaliation for the union’s legally sanctioned boycott of military cargo to and from Israel,” the Workers in Palestine solidarity network said.
The action included a mass call-in to the company’s headquarters to demand it reinstate Mr Helgeson, and the leafleting of ports to the same effect.
