APM Terminals’ management in India’s Port of Nhava Sheva (Jawaharlal Nehru) has appealed to local trade union and political groups to help restore normal operations at the terminal.
The move comes after labor federations issued a call to shut down operations at Nehru’s largest container facility starting Oct. 8 if four suspended workers are not reinstated.
Nehru dockworkers staged a four-day shutdown campaign in March over delays in settling compensation packages for project-affected persons, costing the port authority over $30 million in lost business. The impasse was resolved after the government ordered the port authority to release 274 acres of land for the purpose of settlement.
