    What he wanted to achieve was fairness for all. Fair deal for tax payers ( that's who the council work for, us. ). Fair wages for the workers. Make Southampton a great city. Encourage real lasting jobs.
    What have Labour done since they are back, given their Labour councillors another £40,000 in allowances, that could have funded another caring worker.
    Tories and Liberal Councillors took an allowance cut to help, Labour refused ( the give me give me take, take party ).
    Is that true Labour never took the 5.5% pay cut the others took?

Strike ballot held for Southampton port freight workers

Southampton port freight workers balloted for strike action Southampton port freight workers balloted for strike action

TRANSPORT union members are to be balloted for strike action at Southampton port's main rail freight operator in a year long dispute over rosters and restructuring.

RMT union General Secretary Bob Crow said last night he was confident they would return a “massive yes vote” for industrial action at the depot in the city docks.

The ballot will open May 16 and close on May 30.

Freightliner has an 80 per cent market share of container rail freight at Southampton, transporting more than 1,000 containers out of the docks every day that would otherwise be taken by lorry.
