2 000 Angolan port workers strike over pay

More than 2 000 employees at Angola's second biggest port in Lobito have downed tools after going without pay for four months, striking workers said on Wednesday. "We have families and it's now four months since we have seen the colour of our money," one striker said. The strike action at Lobito, a state-run port which lies about 400km south of capital Luanda and handles mainly crude oil, began on Tuesday. Port company spokesperson Domingo Isata told a local radio station that the facility had fallen "victim to economic and financial constraints that affected the transport of products".
