The International Dockworkers Council (IDC) is a global organization that represents dockworkers and port labor unions. Founded in 2000, its primary goal is to promote solidarity among dockworkers worldwide and advocate for their rights and working conditions. The IDC works to address issues such as safety, fair wages, and job security in the maritime industry. The council collaborates with various labor organizations and participates in international forums to influence policies affecting dockworkers. By uniting different unions, the IDC aims to strengthen the collective voice of workers in the shipping and logistics sectors, ensuring their concerns are heard on a global scale.
