WHY IS SUCH A PROFITABLE PORT SACKING ITS 500 DOCKERS?
WHY DOES SUCH A PROFITABLE PORT WANT TO USE CASUAL LABOUR?
The company used 7 per cent of the government's shareholding to buy the port of Medway.
ON WHOSE AUTHORITY?
Privatisation of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board meant that the shareholders in the new company now have vast property rights on both sides of the Mersey, worth billions of pounds.
HOW COULD PRIVATE SHAREHOLDERS ``INHERIT'' THIS LAND AND PROPERTY?
The company has received over £ 312 million from the government in waived debts and grants to force dockers out of their jobs. It was awarded £ 690 million in European grants and has also received City Challenge grants.
HOW CAN SUCH HUGE SUMS BE HANDED TO A COMPANY FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF ITS DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS, WHILE DOCKERS ARE SACKED AND THE PEOPLE OF LIVERPOOL ARE DEPRIVED OF SOCIAL AND PUBLIC SERVICES?
