International Women’s Day:
A Collective Commitment to Equality for all Dockworkers
This International Women’s Day, we, as representatives of the Dockworkers’ union, reaffirm our unwavering commitment to gender equality and inclusivity within our industry. Our commemorative campaign embraces the pronoun ”WE,” a deliberate and strategic choice to convey a message that is direct, inclusive, and rooted in collective action. It is not merely a slogan; it is a reflection of our active pledge to create a fair and equitable workplace for all.
Ports are dynamic environments where teamwork and collaboration are essential. By emphasizing ”WE,” we highlight the shared responsibility of fostering an inclusive culture that values every individual. This campaign underscores our belief that true progress is achieved when we stand together, united by common principles and goals.
