Hong Kong dockworkers have been on strike since March 28. They are on strike over pay and conditions. Maritime transport and logistics is a global industry dominated by global companies. Working conditions at one port affect workers at other ports, with shipping rates and container turn around times benchmarked internationally. To win the current Hong Kong dispute we need to target these global companies around the world in coordinated industrial action. We can take actions against the main Hong Kong Port companies of HIT, Hutchinson and Cosco in the other countries where they operate. We can also take action at other regional ports, like Shenzen, Singapore and Shanghai, where Hong Kong cargo is being redirected.
