Amsterdam dockers condemn T&GWU position

5 June 1997

Brothers and sisters,

We all know that our brothers in Liverpool are in trouble, but now they are under attack again.

In Montreal we voted unanimously for the resolution to open the way to Miami for them, so they have the opportunity to tell their story.

But the I.T.F. and the T&G make it impossible for them to go. They simply refuse to invite them.

I have sent a fax to T&G and conveyed my indignation, of course with a copy to the I.T.F.

We made promises, so let us help them together.

We said:

When they injure one, they injure all of us.

On behalf of the Dutch delegation,
yours fraternally,

Ron Wiechels
Secretary of Amsterdam dockers' Abeidspool


T&GWU
