E-petition

We have set up an e-petition to oppose the working conditions of  seafarers effected by social dumping.  We would like you to not only sign it, but share it with your friends on Facebook, twitter etc.
If we can get 100,000 signatures we can get it debated in parliament and highlight the working conditions of those employed by Condor ferries, such as;
A minimum 12 hour working day everyday for 90 days.
No annual leave entitlement.
Wages of £2.35 per hour or £28.19 per day.

The e-petition is as follows

Social dumping Of seafarers

Responsible department: Department for Transport

We urge this government to look into the exploitation taking place on our seas. Shipping companies are now exploiting seafarers and paying wages around £2.30 per hour even when a vessel sails between two British Ports. 

We call on the government to review the legislation that allows shipping companies to exploit seafarers on rates of pay less than that of the national minimum wage in Great Britain.
