Dock workers at Felixstowe are striking again over wages and inflation, overlapping a Port of Liverpool strike as holiday shipping season picks up.
Dockworkers (pictured) at the Port of Felixstowe began their second eight-day strike today as workers in Liverpool also began a second week of strikes - as port bosses warned unions.
