KernowDamo: Dockworkers are limbering up for a showdown with the arms trade on 30 October, apparently determined to throw a spanner in the works of Israel’s weapons supply line. The Italian union USB is boasting that more than 100 ports across 17 countries are on board, which is either a logistical miracle or a PR man’s nightmare. Previous chaos for ZIM shipping proved that when workers get stroppy, business-as-usual can quickly turn into business-as-unusual, with a side order of corporate headaches. So what’s actually on the cards this time? Will cargo grind to a halt, or will it be just another day of waving placards for Gaza while the ships sail on? Let’s dig into the numbers, the history, and see where the pressure might actually leave a mark.
