Protestors try to block Zim ship at Tampa Bay
About 25 protestors gathered early Saturday at the entrance to Port Tampa Bay to prevent Israeli shipping company Zim from unloading there, although there was reportedly no delay in processing the container ship.
Reportedly, dockworkers from ILA Local 1402 crossed the picket line and the Zim Alabama was processed in a timely manner.
The effort, initiated by Block the Boat, is targeted at Zim Shipping in protest of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians in Gaza.
