ILO Maritime Labor Convention

A POSITION is a statement of support or opposition concerning a major issue or incident effecting mariners, which position has been voted on by the membership at a previous CAMM Annual General Meeting (AGM). The POSITION expresses the majority opinion of the membership. The purpose of a post in this section is to introduce new information not discussed at the annual meeting at which the position was agreed to, but which might require reconsideration of the stated POSITION. Any post on a POSITION will be removed from the site if it simply repeats opinions previously discussed during debate of the POSITION at an AGM.

ILO Maritime Labor Convention

New postby Positions Committee on Sat Nov 08, 2008 11:44 pm

SUPPORT ILO Maritime Labor Convention 186 to eliminate sub-standard shipping with respect to maritime labor. Convention 186 lays down stringent rules regarding working conditions and requests proof of compliance from ships. Port State control officers have the power to fine and detain ships which do not abide by the “Seafarers’ Bill of Rights”. SUPPORT the two-thirds majority vote of member states for adoption of the “Seafarers’ Bill of Rights” and urges U.S. adoption of this doctrine.
