Volos last month upheld the right of dockers to take strike action against a flag-of-convenience ship providing sub-standard wages and conditions for its crew. In August 1963 the International Transport Workers’ Federation and its affiliate the Italian Seafarers’ Federation (FILM), organised a boycott of the Italian-owned Panamanian-flag ship “Coral” whilst it was in the Port of Volos. The owner of this ship was paying his crew lower rates than those provided by the Italian collective agreement and was under-manned. The boycott lasted from 12th to 20th August 1964 when the owners agreed to apply the Italian agreement, and to pay contributions for one year to the ITF Welfare Fund and £450 towards the payment of Volos dockers’ wages during their strike action. Despite this agreement, the local agent for the ship later attempted to take legal action against the Greek dockers’ union, bringing a charge of “blackmail” against them. WOODCOCK
