Hundreds of dockworkers at the port of Liverpool have launched a two-week strike due to a dispute over pay, the Unite trade union said on Tuesday.
More than 560 port operatives and maintenance engineers employed by Mersey Docks and Harbour Company (MDHC) are striking over a pay offer equating to about 8.3 percent.
Peel Ports Group, which owns MDHC, said that all other Liverpool operations are unaffected by the strike.
