> Dockers at the port of Amsterdam will strike and demonstrate tomorrow
> against the use of casual labour. About 150 registered dockworkers are
> to lose their jobs in a fortnight's time whilst employers are
> extending the use of casual labour.
>
> In a message to LabourNet the Amsterdam dockers union described their
> fight as "exactly the same" as that of the dockers of Liverpool and
> Santos and say they will be publicising both of these disputes during
> their own actions.
>
> Dockers from around the world will be able to discuss these common
> problems at the International Dockworkers' Conference in Montreal, May
> 25th-30th. The worldwide action in support of Liverpool on January
> 20th showed the real possibilities for developing international action
> against casualisation.
