Stolt Crew Make a Stand09 July 2006By MUA news -
The MUA crew of the Stolt Australia at a meeting onboard the vessel last night made the following statement: We the crew of the Stolt Australia, having considered all the relevant facts and details, are of the view that we need to make a stand regarding the removal of an Australian crew and its replacement with foreign guest labour. We, after much consideration, have decided that this is a fundamental issue for the future of Australiann shipping and Australian workers in general. We condemn the Howard Government for its wholesale destruction of Australian shipping and for its abuse of the Single Voyage Permit System, which creates serious security and environmental risks to our country, as well as undermining th standard of living of Australian workers by forcing them to compete with cheap Third World labour. Accordingly, we as the crew of this Australian flaggged vessel, have decided that we must take a stand against the massive injustices that the Howard Government has inflicted upon Australian workers."
