UK: New bill introduced to ensure thousands of seafarers receive fair pay
The UK government has today (6 July 2022) introduced new legislation to make sure seafarers get paid at least equivalent to the UK National Minimum Wage.

Much needs to be done for shipping to avoid a looming labour crisis

Lords of the maritime world

Labor Unrest Disrupts Supply Chains From Sea to Sky
Each wave of supply shock to hit the global economy during the pandemic seems to produce a different scapegoat. First came the shipping container shortage of late 2020, caused largely by American consumers stocking up on everything from backyard games to home-office equipment. In 2021, companies overordered parts and products to avoid running out, while a series of freak accidents helped shake the global economy close to paralysis... -gCptainPosted On:7-Jul-2022
