Event Day of the Seafarer Worldwide, 25 Jun 2012
The Maritime Union of Australia represents around 14,000 Australian men and women - stevedoring workers (wharfies), seafarers, divers, port workers and office staff. They work around the clock, up towering cranes on the nation's docks, below in the ocean depths, at sea on ships and rigs and onshore in offices and call centres.
As a key affiliate of the International Transport Workers' Federation, the union also helps represent 320,000 of the world's seafarers fighting for wage justice and protection against human rights abuses.
