Police officers push back striking workers of the Malta Maritime Authority who tried to block tourists from leaving the wharf where the cruise liner "Carousel" had just arrived and berthed in Valletta's Grand Harbour May 21, 2001. The workers were called out on strike by The United Workers Union (U.H.M.) over a pay rise dispute . The police intervened when the workers blocked and sealed the gates leading onto the wharfs, something which the government described as illegal.
