JHL supports the Industrial Union’s industrial action with handling blockades
Trade Union JHL is going to continue handling blockades that seek to boost collective bargaining in the Industrial Union’s agreement sectors.
The new blockade will start on Monday 17 February and end on Friday 21 February, unless the collective agreement negotiations produce a result before that. This blockade will be the fouth in JHL’s series of solidarity action for industrial employees.
During the handling blockade, employees will not load or unload the products of companies that are subject to the industrial action. Transport sector employees may refuse to transport the goods of these companies.
