Saying no to exploitation in river cruise. Our message reaches the media.

News

The Swiss television aired a reportage on the poor working and living conditions of river cruise crews and the dodgy practices used by the companies. This is a real success for the ETF and its affiliates because reports like this show the wider public what we have been denouncing for years. This situation cannot remain hidden below decks!

The reportage was broadcast live in the end of April on SRF the main channel of the Swiss TV. The channel also published this article about the reportage.

The ETF campaign for fair conditions of crews on river cruise vessels has been in action for several years. This year the ETF and its affiliate Nautilus International organised an action in Basel on 25 March, and the SRF report shows also some images from the action.

Statement

The EC Fair Labour Mobility Package, a step in the right direction

The ETF welcomes the Fair Labour Mobility Package presented yesterday by the European Commission. Mobile and non-EU workers are essential to the fabric of the internal market and the possibility to work in another EU country is an invaluable freedom. However, labour mobility only works in a spirit of fairness and upwards social convergence.
