Quayside workers in Portsmouth will strike for four days over staffing levels and leave arrangements, it was announced yesterday.
The Unite members will strike from 3pm on Sunday at a Portsmouth City Council-owned port.
Unite's city council convenor Richard White said: "Management at the port have clearly reneged on agreements made with staff last year that detailed the levels of staff working on the quayside.
"It has also proceeded to impose a leave system without consultation that makes it increasingly difficult for our members to take a break away from their physically demanding jobs."
Mechanical fitters at the port are also being balloted on industrial action over the imposition of a new call-out system for weekend cover.
Security workers at the port are to start a two-week overtime ban next Monday over staffing levels.
The port made £463,000 in the last financial year.
