Abstract

The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) campaigns for rights and fair treatment for fishers around the world. It also famously has a worldwide force of 125 inspectors whose job it is to protect seafarers from exploitation and injustice. Nowhere have these two facets come together more forcefully in the last few years than in Ireland, where the issue of the abuse of fishers has become embodied in the chief inspector (ITF co-ordinator) for the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland, Ken Fleming.
