Port staff not to join strike

KOCHI: Cochin Port Staff Association will stay away from the proposed national strike in ports announced by some of the employee federations in the country from January 7 onwards.

A press release issued by the association said that only 30 per cent and below workers were participating in the strike. It termed the protest ‘politically motivated’ .

P. M. Mohammed Haneef, general secretary of All India Port and Dock Workers Federation, said that they were not against regulating the period of salary revision to 10 years, if the workers get better package than what was offered to the Central government employees.

He said that the aim was to ensure additional financial gain for the workers.
