One worker was killed in a violent strike that forced a major international container port in Manila to halt operations on Thursday. "One of our workers was stabbed in the neck and died," a spokeswoman at the International Container Terminal Services Inc said. "Because of that we have to stop operations because the lives of those still working are being endangered," she said. ITSCI is the operator of the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) that handles 70 percent of the international container traffic in Manila. Shares of ICTSI had fallen 3.26 percent to 89 centavos. ICTSI said approximately 90 workers began an "illegal strike" on Wednesday, barricading the entrance of the MICT to demand collective bargaining with management.
