Durban avoids protest to unload Israeli goods

Durban avoids protest to unload Israeli goods A cargo ship carrying Israeli goods to the South African port of Durban has been unloaded using non-unionized workers to get around a protest by South African longshoremen, the Jerusalem Post reported Thursday.
   The unionized dockworkers threatened to boycott any vessels carrying Israeli goods to protest Israel’s military incursion into the Gaza Strip last month. The union workers did not give 48 hours notice of their intention to strike, a legal violation, but said they would go through with the strike anyway, leading the port authority to arrange non-union workers to unload the goods.
