Working times manipulated in the shipping industry

06.11.2024
BERLIN. As part of the Baltic Week of Action, Verdi inspected around 50 seagoing vessels in German ports along with the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) in September and recorded massive abuses. “As expected, virtually all inspections revealed violations concerning working hours, periods of rest
and overtime,” said Susana Ventura from the International Maritime Industry Division of the German trade union Verdi. Some of the ships did not even bother to record overtime, whilst the crews of other ships were forced to manipulate their working hours and periods of rest in order to comply with regulations.
