IMEC and ITF partnership
Since 2003 trade union federation the ITF (International Transport Workers’ Federation) and employers’ organisation IMEC (International Maritime Employers’ Council) have worked together in a partnership to resolve problems, set standards, and improve conditions for those working at sea. Together, they are two of the pillars of the International Bargaining Forum, a unique body designed to ensure that shipping is profitable, safe and fair.
No one will pretend that the process, which involves negotiating wages across huge swathes of the world’s fleets, is always easy, but the will has always been there to make it work. While it’s the pay talks that tend to attract the headlines, along the way the partnership has addressed piracy and helped lay the foundations for new generations of seafarers through its training and cadet programmes.
