RMT Press Office:
Reaction to seafarer amendments to Employment Rights Bill.
RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch said:
“The P&O Ferries scandal was one of the most shameful episodes in the history of industrial relations and therefore RMT strongly welcomes amendments to the Employment Rights Bill which can pave the way for the mandatory Seafarers Charter which we have been campaigning for to help protect jobs and employment and to stop the race to the bottom in the ferry sector.
“We will now work at pace with government to build on this progress to establish the strongest possible set of employment conditions for all seafarers working on domestic or short sea international ferry routes from UK ports.”
