在一场规模创纪录的全球劳工行动中，22个国家的码头工人将于周五举行罢工，抗议港口被用于武器出口。组织者表示，这场由国际码头工人工会联盟组织的罢工，可能扰乱多达40%经地中海运输的海运货物，并使价值超过20亿美元的货物陷入停滞。
In a global labor action of record scale, dockworkers in 22 countries will strike on Friday to protest the use of their ports for arms exports. Organizers say that the strike, organized by an international coalition of dockworkers’ unions, could disrupt as much as 40 percent of marine cargo moving through the Mediterranean and bring more than $2 billion worth of freight to a standstill.
这场自5月以来筹备的罢工，核心区域在欧洲地中海：最初由意大利、法国、希腊、西班牙巴斯克地区、土耳其和摩洛哥的工会发起。
The strike, planned since May, has its epicenter in the Mediterranean: It was originally called for by unions in Italy, France, Greece, Spain’s Basque Country, Turkey, and Morocco.
最新消息：根据组织工会的最新信息，周五，五大洲22个国家和地区的111个港口的码头工人将在一场协调罢工中停工，反对战争。
NEW: On Friday, dockworkers at 111 ports in 22 countries and regions on five continents will stop work in a coordinated strike against war, according to the most recent information from the organizing unions.
目前已有25个以上的码头工会签署参与，从马赛……2026年10月28日 此后，德国、爱尔兰、葡萄牙、丹麦、瑞典和澳大利亚的港口工人也加入了行动，并得到巴勒斯坦工会联合会的支持。美国没有全国性工会签署参与罢工，但奥克兰和旧金山的码头工人团体计划参加。
More than 25 dockworkers’ unions have now signed on, from Marseille…October 28, 2026 Since then, port workers in Germany, Ireland, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, and Australia have joined, supported by the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions. No national US-based unions have signed on to the strike, but groups of dockworkers in Oakland and San Francisco plan to participate.
根据5月发布的一份声明，码头工人的诉求包括“立即结束对巴勒斯坦人民的种族灭绝，并承认巴勒斯坦独立国”，以及结束美以对伊朗的战争。
The dockworkers’ demands, according to a statement released in May include “an immediate end to the genocide of the Palestinian people and recognition of an independent Palestinian state,” and an end to the US-Israeli war on Iran.
工会写道：“港口不得用于运输前往战区的武器、弹药、军事装备或军队。”在10月15日的新闻发布会上，参与工会的代表估计，即使仅有一天的航运延误，也可能导致4300万美元的利润损失。
“Ports must not be used for the transport of arms, ammunition, military equipment or troops destined for war zones,” the unions wrote. At an October 15 press conference, representatives of participating unions estimated that even a single day’s shipping delay could result in $43 million in lost profit.
装卸货船的人们构成了一个在外交和贸易上拥有非同寻常权力的工人阶层。
The people who load and unload cargo ships make up a class of workers with unusual power over foreign affairs and trade.
海运承载着按体积计算约 80% 的国际贸易，没有原材料——子弹、武器、炸弹和燃料——战争就无法持续。正如意大利和平与裁军网络的分析师弗朗切斯科·维尼亚卡本周对这家西班牙出版物所说，其中大部分货物通过海运，因为空运可能很危险。过去五年，欧洲在武器上投入巨资，如今进口了全球三分之一的武器。
carry some 80 percent of all international trade by volume, and wars cannot continue without raw material—bullets, armaments, bombs, and fuel. Much of that cargo moves by sea, as it can be dangerous to ship by air, as analyst Francesco Vignarca of the Italian Peace and Disarmament Network told the Spanish publication this week. Europe has invested heavily in weapons over the past five years, and now imports a third of the world’s arms.
但维尼亚卡表示：“工人们——码头工人和其他工人——的意识也有所增强，这导致抗议、封锁更加频繁，并明确表现出要终结这一现象的愿望。”码头工人罢工的历史悠久，点缀着像这样的罢工，有时其目的不仅在于提高工资或缩短工时，而是要结束战争。美国过去的码头工人罢工曾赢得实实在在的利益，如 1913 年费城长岸工人罢工，瘫痪了美国最繁忙的港口之一，赢得了加薪和改善工作条件。其他罢工则扰乱了战争供应链。1984 年，旧金山码头工人拒绝卸载来自实行种族隔离的南非的货物。
But, Vignarca said, “There is also a heightened awareness among workers—dockworkers, and others—which has led to more frequent protests, blockades, and a clear desire to put an end to this phenomenon.”The history of dockworkers’ strikes is long, and studded with strikes like this one, which at times aim not only to increase workers’ wages or decrease their working hours, but to end wars Past dockworkers’ strikes in the United States have won bread-and-butter gains, like the 1913 longshoremen’s strike in Philadelphia, which shut down one of the busiest ports in the United States and won wage increases and better working conditions. Other strikes have disrupted the supply chains of war. In 1984, dockworkers in San Francisco refused to unload cargo originating from apartheid South Africa.
2008 年，2.5 万名加入工会的长岸工人和仓库工人关闭了美国西海岸的航运，以抗议伊拉克战争。
And in 2008, 25,000 unionized longshoremen and warehouse workers shut down shipping along the West Coast of the United States as a protest against the war in Iraq.
尽管自 2023 年 10 月以色列开始轰炸加沙以来，美国活动人士也曾试图以港口为目标、阻止武器运输，但这些努力——很少涉及在这些航运枢纽工作的人——收效有限。
Though activists in the United States have also attempted to target ports and stop weapons shipments since Israel began bombarding Gaza in October 2023, those efforts—which rarely involve the people who wor k in those shipping hubs—have seen limited success.
但在国际上，港口卡车司机、金属工人和码头工人已经找到了一些阻止武器运输的策略。2019年，当时沙特阿拉伯正在轰炸也门，欧洲各地的工人成功协调行动，阻止了向沙特阿拉伯的武器运输；2024年，希腊比雷埃夫斯港的码头工人阻止了一批运往以色列的武器装卸。
But internationally, port truckers, metalworkers, and dockworkers have found some strategies to stop arms shipments. Workers across Europe successfully coordinated actions to stop weapons shipments to Saudi Arabia in 2019, as that country was bombing Yemen; in 2024, dockworkers in Greece’s port of Piraeus stopped a shipment carrying arms to Israel.
“我们不会让港口成为美国、北约或欧盟的前哨，”希腊港口集装箱装卸工人工会主席马尔科斯·贝克里斯当时表示，“我们的目标是实际上阻止卸货，防止这批致命货物的运输。我们不会让自己的手沾上鲜血。”
“We will not let the port become an outpost of the US, NATO or the EU,” Markos Bekris, president of the Greek port’s container handling workers’ union, said at the time“Our goal is to block the unloading in practice and prevent the transport of this deadly cargo. We will not stain our hands with blood.”
