ICTT workers agitate for better facilities

KOCHI: Members of the Trade Union Coordination Committee kept off from work for a brief period at the International Container Transshipment Terminal (ICTT), Vallarpadam, on Monday seeking better facilities for the cleaners of the container vehicles, even as the ICTT promoter DP World said that such things would affect the facilities' credibility. The workers marched to the office in the morning in support of their demands and later called it off.
Elvis D'Cruz, general manager (Commercial) of DP World, said the allegations raised by the cleaners were unsubstantiated. "Such unwarranted strikes will only affect the credibility of the state."
