Global disruption in ports: Anchormen from dozens of countries will hold an international strike on October 30. The largest marine terminals on the planet may partially or completely suspend operations. Port workers from dozens of countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and America are preparing a coordinated protest against the passage of military cargo through civilian ports. Under the slogan "Dockers do not work for war", unions in more than 50 major ports (including Italy, France, Greece, Turkey and Morocco) are demanding an end to the militarization of logistics. What are the protesters trying to achieve? Political demands: a complete ban on the transfer of weapons and ammunition, as well as the cessation of turning commercial ports into military bases. Socio-economic barrier: Workers demand higher wages, shorter shifts and protection against layoffs caused by robotization and terminal automation. The nature of the operations will vary depending on the country - from local pickets and targeted blockades of military vessels to the complete shutdown of ports for 24 hours (the worst attacks are expected in Italy and Greece). Businesses and logistics companies are already preparing for disruptions in the international supply chain.
