Our Bureau

Kochi, Aug 12

The intervention of the State Labour Minister has averted yet another strike at Kochi Port by container trailer workers following a conciliatory meeting held with Trade Union Co-ordination Committee (container trailer section) here on Tuesday evening.

The Committee had decided to go in for an indefinite strike from Wednesday demanding revision in pay and service conditions. The Minister assured the trade union leaders that fair wages for workers would be implemented shortly. A committee has also been constituted to study and submit a report on this in three months.

A committee has been constituted comprising port officials, DP World officials, trailer owners and trade unions to suggest ways for the smooth movement of trailers.
