Foreign seamen may be blacklisted for union activities

Manning agents are known for secretly circulating information about seafarers suspected of being “troublemakers” simply for complaining of back wages, poor conditions or for showing an interest in trade unions. Even pushing for a collective bargaining agreement can red flag them. Seamen around the globe who are concerned about being illegally blacklisted, or being forced to pay an agent for a job, should contact the International Tradeworker’s Federation (ITF) at www.it.org. for help.
