DOCK workers have been accused of living in the 1970s after they threatened to paralyse Britain's biggest container port with a strike.

Unite union announced staff at Felixstowe, which handles more than a third of UK ship-based cargo, voted in favour of strike action in a dispute over pay, warning of major disruption across the supply chain. The dockworkers join a growing wave of employees, in a range of sectors from rail to telecoms, resorting to industrial action as pay rises fail to keep pace with inflation which is expected to hit double digits in Britain by the end of the year.
