The Maritime Union of Australia expresses its solidarity with dockworkers and port workers internationally who are organising under the slogan “International Day of Action of Dockworkers and Port Workers against war and militarisation” on a 30 October 2026 day of action. The MUA National Council endorse that Branches take measures to support these actions.
The MUA notes that port workers across Europe and the Mediterranean have called and organised coordinated international action against the use of ports and transport infrastructure for war. The MUA opposes loading weapons for war and genocide.
These actions have linked opposition to the genocide of the Palestinian people with opposition to the broader war economy, rearmament, and the transformation of civilian ports into logistical platforms for militarism.
The MUA believes ports belong to the people and to the workers who keep them operating.
They must not be turned into bases or supply chains for imperialist war, occupation or genocide. Public resources should be directed to jobs, communities, safety, wages and social need, not to militarisation, war cargo and the enrichment of arms manufacturers and shipping interests.
No war cargo through our ports.
No support for genocide.
