    Did you read the article Keef?

    A Department for Transport spokesperson added: “We have worked at pace to bring forward our Seafarers’ Wages Act, consulting extensively with industry and unions to ensure we have ironclad legislation in place to help prevent this from happening again, while working to strengthen seafarer rights around the world.

    “We expect to bring this into force in the summer, around the same time as French legislation, forming an international minimum wage corridor across the Dover strait.”

    Is this to cover all shipboard workers visiting English Ports? Would it cover someone who worked for an independant MacDonalds outlet on-board? What about cabin crew on aeroplanes? What about the ferrry to Eire? etc.etc.


    As Labour are about to find passing legislation, ironclad or otherwise, is slightly more difficult than waving a magic wand over a wish list.
