Port workers yesterday called on the health authorities for protection against swine flu.

The Malta Dockers Union yesterday expressed concern with health parliamentary secretary Joe Cassar over the lack of protective measures for port workers who were in constant contact with sailors.

Their jobs exposed them to the virus, the union said and precautions were needed through protective clothing, for example.

The union said it was ready to meet Dr Cassar to explain in more detail which measures should be taken.
