  "As for the 'pay' side of things why should a cleaner on a ferry be earning multiple times what the cleaner in my local Wetherspoons does? Or the guy pulling pints? Or the person working in the on-board shop?"
  
  Unless things have completely changed from when my husband worked as a steward (prior to becoming an officer) he was employed to do all of the above when and if required regardless of his 'normal' job. I also understand they no longer have the opportunity to go home at the end of their shift/watch so certainly deserve more than the equivalent shore job.
  
  In some ways being one of our local ferry workers is or was a good well paying job but sadly it seems all big business is now slowly and unfairly going back to the them and us situation of years ago.
