Bosses still flaunt law on non-EU fishermen

As of May 16, all non-EU fishermen seeking to work in the industry here had to have “atypical worker permission” and be given proper contracts of employment and be paid statutory minimum wages as employees of the boat owner.
The International Transport Workers Federation has visited a number of ports in recent days and spoken to boat owners and fishermen to assess their compliance with the new regulations. It has gathered documentation which highlights the level to which boat owners are dodging their requirements under the regulations.
