the UMTUF ) was established while the First Founding Congress of first
independent trade unions of the Ukrainian maritime industry took place
on 15 January 1992 . The UMTUF is the all-Ukrainian a trade unions’
association which united the workers of Ukrainian maritime industry (
seafarers , dockers ) .
In March 1992 the UMTUF submitted an application to join
International Transport Workers’ Federation ( the ITF ) , and in April
1992 in accordance with the ITF Executive Board decision the UMTUF was
admitted to the ITF as its full-right membership organization .The ITF
is worldwide transport workers federation which now unites about 700
trade unions from 150 countries who represent interest of 4,5 millions
workers in the transport industries .
And now , same as during the precedent years , the UMTUF with its
membership organizations have been taking active part in national and
international trade union movements . For the time of its activity the
UMTUF has rendered real assistance to thousands of the Ukrainian
seafarers who serve on board the vessels of foreign shipowners . In
2006 within the UMTUF structure was created Special Seafarers Unit
(the SSU ) , whose a main priority was first response to all seafarers’
complaints concerning violations of their labour and social rights . |
