Nowak’s appeal is for the Tories to reinstate the role of the union bureaucracy in suppressing the working class through a tripartite arrangement with employers and the government.
Unite is preventing another key section of port workers from joining the struggle at Felixstowe. On August 15, around 500 workers at Liverpool docks voted by 99 percent on an 88 percent turnout for strike action, rejecting a 7 percent “final offer” from Mersey Docks and Harbour Company (MDHC).
