The issuing of the ‘Enough is enough’ call to action by the ITF on 15 June where seafarers will be actively supported to effectively leave their roles, stop working and thereby disrupt global supply lanes in protest at contract extensions during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis has been received with disbelief, alienating the unions at a time in humanity’s history when global unity and stability is most needed. Human Rights at Sea strongly denounces what it considers are irresponsible and short-sighted actions by ITF and supporting industry bodies, which if allowed to be followed, could well have life-changing repercussions and long-term ripple effects for the most vulnerable in society.
