Update: Malaviya Seven, Aberdeen

ニュース 記者発表資料

The detention, which was put in place on Wednesday afternoon, is over wages owed to the replacement crew of the vessel. It comes despite warnings from the ITF that unless all crew members were paid it would assist the crews to arrest the vessel – see https://goo.gl/ZeCY66 for details. The ITF has managed to secure wages for most crew members, but had put the company on notice that all must be paid or it would take further action.

ITF UK and Ireland coordinator Ken Fleming stated: “We have repeatedly made it clear that we won’t stop until everyone gets what is owing to them. The company now has until 15October to pay or we will move to have the Malaviya Seven arrested. The same applies to the Malaviya Twenty in Great Yarmouth.”

Meanwhile in Great Yarmouth ITF inspector Paul Keenan has presented the MCA with evidence that on the Malaviya Twenty, four crew members who remained on the vessel have not been paid since July, three crew who were signed off have not been paid despite assurances given by the company to the MCA, and nine new crew have not been paid in August. In the light of these infringements of the Maritime Labour Convention the ITF has asked the MCA to reinspect the ship and then reinstate the detention which was lifted following the company’s now failed promises of action.

英国の鉄道の再国営化:労働組合の声

労働党政権による鉄道再国営化の決定は、民営化という世界的な潮流からの重要かつ歓迎すべき転換である。再国営化は「第 4 次鉄道パッケージ」等の EU 指令に組み込まれた EU の政策アジェンダとの決裂をも意味する。  この政策転換は、 ITF 加盟鉄道労組-全英鉄道海事交運労組( RMT )、機関車技師・機関助手協会( ASLEF )、交通運輸従業員組合( TSSA )-
