India Port Strike Could Impact on Fashion Supply Chain in December

The National Coordination Committee of the Major Port Workers Federation, during its 23 November meeting in Goa, criticized the Indian Port Association (IPA) for delays in implementing a wage settlement agreed upon with port authorities. Protests at major ports are scheduled for 5 December, followed by mass demonstrations on 10 December by port pensioners. The unions have expressed strong opposition to what they call anti-labour attitudes and the non-implementation of statutory settlements mandated by law.
