Shippers on the Ports Dispute

A very interesting interview on Morning Report with the shippers'  organisation. They want the ports dispute settled, and now. Reading between the lines, ongoing disputation, followed possibly by lengthy court action, picketing etc (in the case of contracting out) and the very real threat of international boycotts is not an acceptable outcome. I read the interview as a shot across Mr Gibson's (and the POAL board's) bow - a warning that he has to get real and settle a new CEA. I also read the Council's thinking to be the same.

I see that the ITF and the IUF are already building international campaigns on the ports issue, and the CTU is putting serious resources into the campaign. I'm beginning to wonder if Mr Gibson will be in post in a year's time.
