Dockers at the new Rotterdam Gateway (RWG) terminal initiated a protest over the lack of a collective bargaining agreement. Unlike other companies at the port, RWG refuses to negotiate a collective agreement with port workers, who are represented by the FNV Havens union. Meanwhile, the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) is calling for all-party talks on the future of the Port of Rotterdam - ‘a giant among the world’s ports’. According to the ITF the port should be a model of good industrial relations with agreements signed with the union representing its workers, despite widespread concern about the future.
