Sailor's Rights
"Sailor's Rights" refer to the legal protections and entitlements that individuals working on ships have while at sea. These rights ensure fair treatment, safe working conditions, and proper compensation for their labor. They are often outlined in international agreements, such as the Maritime Labour Convention, which sets standards for working conditions, wages, and health care for sailors.
Additionally, sailors have the right to join unions and seek assistance if they face exploitation or unsafe conditions. They are entitled to repatriation after their contracts end and should receive medical care if injured while working. These rights help promote dignity and safety in the maritime industry.
