Title:	Mass of Hapless India's Seamen are Again on the Path of Continuous Strike Worldwide
Authors:	Sayeed, M.A. & Banerjee, Ashutosh
Issue Date:	1983
Publisher:	Forward Seamen's Union of India (CITU)
Abstract:	The number of jobs in the Indian shipping industry is dismal, with vacancies almost halving in Bombay between 1975 and 1983, and in Calcutta, they are no more than a third of what they were. Neither shipowners nor governments are dealing with the problem adequately, blaming it on a "global recession". On 5 April 1983 government announced a whole package of concessions for shipowners, while the seamen union demands have been ignored. FSUI (CITU) organised a strike in November 1982, as well as a sit-in on 30 March 1983. Despite promises, but there has been no government action. The FSUI (CITU) issues a 9 point list of demands, and calls on all seamen to prepare for strike action.
