Stevedores hold out for strike on April 8

Algeciras container port
ALGECIRAS (Agencies) Union representatives at the stevedoring company in the port have decided to call a 24 hour strike on April 8, in protest against the new custom of contracting outside workers instead of those from the company itself. This strike is in addition to tose 2-hour ones called for on April 7 and 14 by various unions "so that the national port authority pronounces itself on the conflict, and gives clear instructions on current law in the matter." The latter strikes will affect all ports in Spain, while the former applies only to Algeciras.
