Abstract

Even as migrant workers increasingly form the engine of the fishing industry in Asia, they remain a very exploited group, denied the possibility of organizing themselves as workers in several Flag States. In the early-1990s, the International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF) attempted to address the problems of Filipino migrant fishers aboard Taiwanese fishing vessels but not much progress was made. Subsequently, ICSF provided important inputs to the process leading to the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007, of the International Labour Organization (ILO).
