2,000 Dockers Strike at UK's Largest Container Port

The video discusses a strike involving 2000 workers at Felixstowe port in the UK, driven by double-digit inflation. The strike, now in its second day of an eight-day action, has already led to the diversion of vessels and is expected to impact $800 million worth of trade. The strike's effects are compounded by the risk of a wage price spiral, as workers have rejected an 8% pay rise. The situation is further complicated by the potential for the strike to spread to other sectors, such as transport and healthcare. Politically, the strike has become a topic in the Conservative leadership race, with Liz Truss promising to address industrial action.
