Liverpool’s Peel Port in the U.K. risks a 500+ employee walkout over wage disputes
🚢 And… strike!
Port workers across the world are threatening walkouts and strikes, leaving the global supply chains under some serious pressure. The U.K. ports seem to be facing the brunt of it - the struggling economy and the surging cost of living in the country have over 500 employees at Liverpool’s Peel Port in Great Britain agreeing to strike. The dockworkers rejected a 7% pay increase and instead demanded that their wages continue to rise with the over 9% inflation rate. The Christmas inventory cycle is expected to cause some disruption during peak season in the U.K.
