The country's ports are at a standstill, as watersiders continue with their 48 hour strike action. The watersiders are protesting at attempts to break down their national award and replace it with port by port agreements. Janice Rodenburg reports. Maggie Barry talks to Sam Jennings, National Secretary of the Watersiders Workers' Union, about why the strike action was taken.
