30th July 1996

"Atlantic Conveyor" arrived into the Port of Gothenburg at 10am Monday 29th July. According to our previous decision, there was a 12 hour blockade of the vessel until 10 o'clock in the evening. During this time there was not any work done on the ship. At 10 o'clock in the evening the work started with the evening shift. They worked on the ship until midnight when their shift ended. There was not any man working overtime so at midnight the work was stopped until 7 o'clock in the morning on tuesday 30th July.

WE HOPE THAT DOCK WORKERS IN OTHER COUNTRIES WILL DO THE SAME KIND OF ACTION.

INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY IS THE SOLUTION!
