ITF creates borderless solidarity among transport workers in every corner of the globe. We are 16.5 million voices; We stand together; #WeAreITF.
Safety and first aid training can help prevent accidents onboard and reduce the number of fishers hurt while at work.

The ITF fights for better safety for fishers on an international level through agreements that ensure minimum standards on fishing vessels.

We need collective bargaining by independent trade unions at the national level, or through organisations like the ITF at the international level.

Anything less and there is no guarantee that workers rights are not being infringed.

Certification is not the solution. For example, the MSC is an ecolabel focused on overfishing and the environment and “makes no social claims”.

Allegations on vessels in MSC fisheries therefore “don’t fall within the scope” of its remit.
