Dockers from dozens of countries will hold a global strike against the transfer of weapons On October 30, port workers from dozens of countries will hold an international protest against the use of commercial ports to transport military cargo. The initiative, which initially originated among labor unions in Europe and the Mediterranean, quickly expanded its geography. After anchors from India, Mexico and Ireland joined the movement, the total number of major sea terminals participating in the action reached fifty. Under the slogan "Dokers don't work for war", gym activists are demanding an end to the conversion of civilian ports into military bases and an end to the transportation of ammunition. Along with political slogans, the demonstrators raise economic demands. Workers are pushing for higher wages, shorter shifts and protections against layoffs related to terminal automation. In accordance with the details of the local legislation, on October 30 there will be actions in various formats - from street marches to targeted blockades of ships and a complete stoppage of port operations. This strike will be the largest coordinated action by the International Coalition of Port Workers, which was formed in early 2026 specifically to fight the militarization of logistics and protect the labor rights of workers in the industry.
