The dockers are in an ongoing dispute with port owner Peel Holdings over pay and proposed job cuts.
Liverpool dock workers will stage two more weeks of strikes in a long-running row over pay and jobs.
The Unite union has said almost 600 port workers will walk out again from October 24 to November 7, following industrial action over recent weeks. Port owner Peel Holdings says it has offered a pay rise worth more than 10% to workers, but Unite claims the rise was only around 8.2% and actually amounted to a real-terms cut in pay due to inflation.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said:"Peel Holdings is hugely profitable and can absolutely afford to pay our members a proper wage increase."Instead of negotiations to resolve this dispute, the company has chosen to threaten jobs and repeatedly mislead about the deal it has tabled. "Our members are standing firm and have their union's complete support. The company must put forward a pay rise they can accept or this strike continues."
