Kuwaiti port workers strike
Port workers at the Kuwait's three major ports went on strike Monday over wages and working conditions, international press outlets reported.
The workers are demanding a 35 percent increase in base pay. They charge that base pay rates haven't been increased since 1977. The workers are also seeking better incentives and safer working conditions.
More than 900 workers have joined the strike, which a union leader said would continue until the Kuwaiti government meets its demands.
