to discuss the new initiatives of transport ministry and which was related to the executive decree that was aimed at assigning certain port related activities to other partner, the thing that was rejected by the coordination globally and its details. Sources from the Dockers’ coordination described the ministry move as “a stab in the back” taking in consideration the agreement signed between the two parties on 10th of last April, and in which they agreed on the necessity of “consultations about all matters that concern the future of ports employees and this was recorded in an official registry”. The same sources has said that the issuing of a executive decree stipulating the assignment of activities in ports to other partners have created a wave of anger and discontentment amongst more than 14000 employees in different commercial ports. As a response to these measures that have been taken by the ministry, the coordination has called in an urgent session to discuss the new developments and to from a position as a response. Our sources did not rule out the possibility of using the strike card that was going to be held on 16 and 17 April 2006, and which was cancelled in the last minute following an agreement that was reached by the leadership of the central trade union through its representative of Mohammed Lakhdar Badreddin. Maammer Karmach, the general secretary of Dockers trade union of the capital’s port, has explained in a declaration to El Khabar yesterday “the coordination would not change its decision of refusing any privatisation in the sector, and of its demand to “freeze” the governmental executive decree that stipulates the opening of the sector to the private sector’s companies.
