Nautilus calls for $50 rise in minimum crew wage

Seafarers' union Nautilus International is calling for a $50 rise in the global minimum wage for crew.

It will argue that the time has come for a pay hike at the International Labour Organisation (ILO) talks in June.

Nautilus general secretary Mark Dickinson will lead a delegation on behalf of the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) within the Joint Maritime Commission, an ILO body.
