Funded Activity Summary

A Century of International Labour Organising for Maritime Safety and Economic Justice. This project aims to undertake an innovative history of Australian maritime unionists and their contribution to developing international standards for the world's seafarers. It will assess how important their international work has been, how the role of Australian unionists developed at the International Labour Organisation and in the International Transport Workers Federation. It will trace the relationships forged with other unions in the Asia-Pacific region. The outcome of the study aims to provide a new understanding of the role of Australian unionists as international and regional players for maritime labour standards, and to demonstrate the value of historical research for insights to inform training and future strategies.
