Strike Planned at Key UK Port

摘要

A 12-hour strike by marine pilots at Milford Haven in the UK has been called for Feb. 23 by leading UK labor union Unite, followed by an overtime ban and a work-to-rule. The action will disrupt LNG, crude and oil product tanker deliveries at Wales' largest port - which is home to two large LNG import terminals, a product storage terminal and two refineries that account for a quarter of the UK's refining capacity. The work stoppage was originally planned for Thursday and Friday this week, but Milford Haven Port Authority succeeded Wednesday in getting an injunction from a London high court to prevent the strike.
