# Union federation SAFTU is calling on dock, harbour and port workers and their unions in South Africa and Africa to join the International Day of Action against War and the Militarisation of Ports on Friday. This follows the Istanbul Declaration adopted by dockworkers’ unions in May this year, where the message was that dockworkers must not be linked in the chain of war. SAFTU’s Asive Dyani says workers and poor communities bear the cost of war through rising prices and deteriorating living conditions:
