Liverpool Port Strike

Dockworkers at the UK’s port of Liverpool have voted to strike over wages, threatening to slow trade flows and inflict more pain on a British economy already facing labor and logistics strains.

Liverpool, owned by Peel Ports, is Britain’s fourth-largest gateway for seaborne trade and a vital stop for transatlantic commerce. No timetable was specified, but any work stoppage will add to disruptions that are expected from an eight-day strike planned later this month at Felixstowe, the country’s busiest container terminal.
