Checks by the website showed that, since 4pm on Tuesday, MPS workers failed to attend to both importers and exporters who use their services because of the strike, leaving them stranded at the port.
A source at MPS also disclosed that the workers have vowed to continue the sit-down strike until management meets their demands.
This means that until management meets with the workers to agree on certain terms, there will not be any major activity going on at the port and importers and exporters will have to wait till a resolution is agreed on for them to continue with their business.
