UNITE campaigners are set to target the annual general meeting of Port of Felixstowe-owners CK Hutchison in Hong Kong tomorrow  following the “unfair sacking of the Felixstowe Four.”

The union said officials with “expertise in capital strategies and investor relations will be engaging with CK shareholders” to demand the reinstatement of the four staff members at the Suffolk site. 

It is also seeking meetings with the wealthy multinational’s key investors, including Allianz, Barclays, Blackrock, Goldman Sachs and HSBC.

The move follows strike action over pay at the vital port last year.

Unite believes the four workers were “unfairly targeted for dismissal because of their union activities despite their long service and exemplary records,” with legal action ongoing.

The union’s head of executive operations Gail Cartmail said: “Felixstowe may be 6,000 miles from Hong Kong, but that isn’t far enough for CK Hutchison to escape responsibility for its unwarranted attack on our members.

“Unite will make sure investors know exactly how and why these workers have been sacked. [Bosses] can do the right thing — reinstate the Felixstowe Four and end this injustice.”

The firm was contacted for comment.
