国际运输工人联盟 (ITF) 秘书长关于美伊和平框架声明
Statement by ITF General Secretary on the US-Iran Peace Framework

国际运输工人联盟（ITF）谨慎欢迎美伊和平框架。然而，纸上的承诺必须化为具体行动，才能真正惠及那些因冲突而付出代价的运输工人。
The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) cautiously welcomes the US-Iran peace framework – but words on paper must now translate into action for the transport workers who have paid the price of this conflict.

100多天来，海员、航空工人、港口工人以及其他运输工人，因一场与他们无关的战争而遭受杀害、受伤、拘留与滞留。
For more than 100 days, seafarers, aviation workers, port workers and other transport workers have been killed, injured, detained and stranded in a war they have no part in.
我们欢迎这一框架，并认为它或许是迈向持久和平的转捩点。然而，鉴于双方政府尚未正式公布全文，我们目前仍无法全面评估其对交通运输工人的影响。我们可以明确指出的是：6月19日的签署并非终点，而仅仅是一个开始。
We welcome this framework as a potential turning point towards a sustainable peace – but given that the full text or not been officially released by either government, we cannot yet fully assess what it means for transport workers. What we can say clearly is this: a signature on 19 June is not the end. It is, at best, the beginning.

ITF预期霍尔木兹海峡的航运不会立即恢复正常，尤其考虑到先前公布的30天重新开放时间表。大量滞留船舶，以及船员换班与休息的需求，意味着航运模式真正恢复正常至少仍需数周，甚至数月。
On the Strait of Hormuz, the ITF does not expect an immediate return to normal, especially given the reported 30-day timeline on reopening. The backlog of stranded vessels and the need for crew changes and rest, mean a realistic return to normal shipping patterns is weeks, if not months, away.

正如我们在此次危机中所展现的承担， ITF将继续与船东及行业伙伴（包括联合国国际海事组织）紧密合作，推进撤离滞留于该地区数千名海员的计划，并确保任何进程均以海员安全为首要考量。
As we have throughout this crisis, the ITF will work closely with shipowners and industry partners – including with the UN International Maritime Organisation (IMO) – to advance plans to evacuate the thousands of seafarers stranded in the area and ensure that any process puts seafarers’ safety first.

ITF的立场十分明确：无论采取何种安排以缓和局势，重新开放霍尔木兹海峡及其他运输作业的承诺，都必须获得各方绝对、具约束力且可核查的保证，确保平民运输工人、船舶与基础设施不会成为攻击目标。
The ITF’s demands are clear: whatever arrangements govern de-escalation, the commitment to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and other transport operations must come with absolute, binding and verifiable guarantees from all parties that civilian transport workers, vessels and infrastructure will not be targeted.

在海运、航空、港口、物流及公路运输等各领域，唯有在当局确认条件安全，并确保航线、空域、港口及运输走廊已彻底清除所有地雷、军事风险或任何可能危及生命的威胁后，方可要求工人复工。
Across maritime, aviation, ports, logistics and road transport sectors, workers must not be expected to return to operations until authorities confirm that conditions are safe and that routes, airspace, ports and transport corridors have been cleared of mines, military risks and any hazards that could endanger lives.

在认为存在安全隐患时，船长、飞行员及所有运输从业人员必须保有暂停、拒绝或更改作业路线的权利，且不得因此遭受报复、经济处罚或商业压力。航行自由、飞航自由以及所有运输工具的安全通行，必须完全依照国际法与相关标准恢复正常。
Masters, pilots and all transport workers must retain the authority to suspend, refuse or reroute operations where there are credible safety concerns, without retaliation, financial penalty or commercial pressure. Freedom of navigation, freedom of overflight and the safe movement of all transport must be fully restored in full accordance with international law and standards.

必须立即采取以下措施：
Immediate measures must also be taken to:
 为所有运输工人提供便利，以确保其能顺利完成换班、遣返及安全回航。
Facilitate crew changes, repatriation, and safe return of all transport workers.
 确保所有被拘留的平民运输工人以及民用船舶、飞机和货物获得释放。Secure the release of all detained civilian transport workers and civilian vessels, aircraft and cargo.
 为受影响的工人和他们的家人提供人道援助和紧急支援。
Provide humanitarian access and emergency support to affected workers and their families.
 制定协调计划，以解决冲突所造成的营运积压、工人疲劳及人员短缺问题。
Establish coordinated plans to address operational backlogs, worker fatigue and staffing shortages created by the conflict.
 确保运输工会有份参与国家、区域和国际层面的复苏和重新开放安排。
Ensure transport unions are involved in recovery and reopening arrangements at national, regional and international level.

ITF亦承诺，将与海湾地区各国政府、雇主、工会及工人代表，以及国际伙伴紧密合作，以支援生计与生活因冲突而受影响的运输外劳。
The ITF also commits to working with governments across the Gulf region, employers, unions and workers’ representatives, and international partners to support a just recovery for migrant transport workers whose lives and livelihoods have been disrupted by the conflict.

这必须包括保障工人的劳动权益，确保其工资与社会保障，并恢复行动自由；因中断而简化申请文件与签证流程；在必要时提供安全遣返与重新入境；并保证工人不会因冲突而遭受解雇、拘留、歧视，或背负与招聘相关的债务。
This must include protecting labour rights, ensuring access to wages and social protections, restoring freedom of movement, facilitating documentation and visa processes where disrupted, enabling safe return and re-entry where needed, and guaranteeing that no worker faces dismissal, detention, discrimination or recruitment-related debt as a consequence of the conflict.

衡量复苏不能仅仅看港口是否重新开放、空域是否恢复或贸易是否恢复 ─ 还必须视乎维持交通运输运作的工人是否比以前更安全、更有保障及拥有更大的权利。Recovery cannot be measured only by reopened ports, restored airspace or resumed trade flows – it must also be measured by whether the workers who keep transport moving emerge safer, more protected and with stronger rights than before.

任何工人都不应该因非自身引发的冲突，而承担恢复交通运输所造成的人力或经济负担。
No worker should bear the human or economic cost of restarting transport after a conflict they did not create.

百日战乱：运输工人用生命付出代价逾一百天
100 days of war: 100 days of transport workers paying with their lives

美国和以色列对伊朗发动「史诗怒火行动」至今逾100天。这场战争并非由平民运输工人挑起，也无法由他们结束，但他们却为此付出了惨痛的代价──失去生命、健康和自由。
100 days have passed since the United States of America and Israel launched ‘Operation Epic Fury’ against Iran. One hundred days of a war that civilian transport workers did not start, cannot end and have paid for – with their lives, their health and their freedom.

100天过去，尽管局势一再出现缓和的希望，但战争实质仍然持续甚至加剧──苦难延长，使运输工人重新面临不可接受的风险。
100 days on, despite repeated moments of hope for de-escalation, the war has resumed and intensified – extending the suffering and exposing transport workers to renewed and unacceptable risks.
国际运输工人联盟（ITF）从一开始就明确指出，运输工人并非战士。他们是维持世界运作的普通劳工——海员、飞行员、机组人员、地勤人员、空中交通管制员、卡车司机、港口工人等等。他们与这场冲突没有任何利害关系，也无力制止冲突。然而，他们却日复一日地承受着冲突带来的种种后果。我们绝不会允许世界对他们所遭受的苦难视而不见。
From day one, the ITF has unequivocally said that transport workers are not combatants. They are civilian workers – seafarers, pilots, cabin crew, ground handlers, air traffic controllers, truck drivers, port workers – who keep the world moving. They have no stake in this conflict. They have no power to stop it. But they continue, day after day, to absorb its consequences. And we will not allow the world to look away from what is being done to them.

一场以平民工人为目标的战争A war that targets civilian workers

正值这标记时刻，针对民间运输工人的攻击并未停止。近日，科威特国际机场和巴林国际机场再次遭到攻击，造成无辜平民丧生，并将航空工作人员置于危险之中。在波斯湾，船只持续成为攻击目标。最近在霍尔木兹海峡附近发生的针对民用船只的袭击和胁持事件并非首宗，而是延续了过去一百天以来的模式。平民工人被蓄意置于危险之中，而肇事者对此心知肚明。
As we mark this moment, the attacks on civilian transport workers have not stopped. In recent days, strikes on Kuwait International Airport and Bahrain International Airport have again claimed an innocent civilian life and put aviation workers in the line of fire. In the Persian Gulf, ships continue to be targeted. The most recent wave of attacks and seizures of civilian vessels near the Strait of Hormuz is not a departure from what has come before – it is the continuation of a pattern that has been playing out for one hundred days. Civilian workers are being deliberately placed in danger, and those responsible know exactly what they are doing.

冲突爆发后的最初几个小时，冲突地区的学校、机场和港口遭到攻击，导致数百名平民工作人员伤亡。科威特国际机场、巴林国际机场、杜拜国际机场和扎耶德国际机场均有工作人员受伤。扎耶德国际机场有一人死亡。这些地点并非军事目标，而是民用工作场所。当时，工作人员正在履行职责：办理航班登机手续、引导飞机、装载货物、为乘客服务。航空工作人员像往常一样上班，却突然发现自己身处战区。
In the first hours of this conflict, schools, airports and ports across the conflict region came under attack resulting in hundreds of civilian workers being killed and injured. Workers were injured at Kuwait International Airport, at Bahrain International Airport, at Dubai International Airport, at Zayed International Airport. One person was killed at Zayed. These are not military targets, they are civilian workplaces. The people inside them were doing their jobs: checking in flights, directing aircraft, loading cargo, serving passengers. Aviation workers showed up for work and found themselves in a war zone.

在随后的几天和几周，针对民用船只的袭击愈演愈烈。多艘船舶在霍尔木兹海峡附近及于波斯湾海域遭遇袭击。伊朗和美国扣押了多艘船只。海员被杀，海员受伤，还有海员被劫为人质。
In the days and weeks that followed, the attacks on civilian shipping intensified. Ships were struck near the Strait of Hormuz and across the Persian Gulf. Vessels have been seized by Iran and the United States. Seafarers have been killed. Seafarers have been injured. And seafarers are being held hostage.

除了攻击本身之外，该地区的运输工人——包括运送货物穿越冲突走廊、跨越封闭边界、在中断的路线上行驶的卡车司机——每天都面临着战争经济的现实：危险、恶劣的生活条件，而且在许多情况下，根本没有任何保护。
And beyond the attacks themselves, transport workers across the region – including trucks drivers carrying goods through conflict corridors, crossing closed borders, navigating disrupted routes –have faced the daily reality of a war economy: danger, impossible conditions, and in too many cases, no protection at all.

The human cost 人道代价

超过两万名海员仍滞留在波斯湾。这些海员绝大多数来自全球南方国家，远离家人，不知何时才能回家。在某些情况下，他们的燃料、食水和食物都已近耗尽。他们目睹头顶上空的飞弹、无人机横飞，即使能够入睡，也深知自己身处战区。自战争爆发以来， ITF已收到海员及其家属超过2500宗援助请求，并已协助600多名海员返回家乡。
More than 20,000 seafarers remain stranded in the Persian Gulf. These seafarers are overwhelmingly from the Global South, far from their families, with no certainty about when they will see home again. In some cases, they are running low on fuel, water and food. They watch missiles and drones in the skies above them, they sleep, if they’re able to, knowing they are in a warzone. Since the war began, the ITF has received over 2,500 requests for assistance from seafarers and their families and assisted more than 600 seafarers to get home.

这场战争对劳工心理健康造成的摧残极为深远，却长期被国际社会所忽视。持续的恐惧、孤立无援的绝望、前途未卜的焦虑，以及与至亲长期分离的痛苦——这些绝非抽象的形容词，而是真切且深刻的心理创伤。对于许多身陷战火的前线工人而言，这些阴霾恐怕将伴随他们一生。部分雇主非但没有提供支援，反而落井下石，试图利用战争作为掩饰：他们滥用不可抗力条款，未经劳工同意便强行延长雇佣合约；更有什者，限制或切断船员与外界的通讯，并无理拒绝履行船员遣返的义务。
The mental health consequences are profound, and they are not being adequately acknowledged. Sustained fear. Isolation. Uncertainty. Separation from family. These are not abstract harms – they are serious, documented psychological injuries that will outlast this conflict for many of the workers caught in it. Some employers have made this worse, seeking to use the war as cover: invoking force majeure to extend contracts without consent, restricting or cutting communications, denying repatriation.

战争绝不能成为雇主剥夺海员权利的空白支票。 《海事劳工公约》（MLC）的核心价值，正是为了防止此类滥权行为发生。全面且立即执行该公约——而非等到冲突对自身有利时才权宜行事——是绝不容妥协的底线。船员换班必须如期进行、合约必须切实履行，且该地区的每一位海员，都必须拥有与家人不受限制地保持联系的权利。关于建立人道主义海上走廊以恢复霍尔木兹海峡航运的提议，正日益受到国际关注。 ITF 完全理解此事的迫切性，但我们的立场始终坚定不移：任何海上走廊的运作，都必须以冲突各方「全面、具约束力且经核实」的保证为绝对前提，确保所有参与船舶及其船员绝不会成为军事攻击的目标。
War must not be a blank cheque for employers to strip seafarers of their rights. The Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) exists precisely to prevent this. Full implementation – now, not when the conflict is convenient – is non-negotiable. Crew changes must happen. Contracts must be honoured. Every seafarer in this region must be able to contact their family without restriction. Proposals for a humanitarian maritime corridor to restore flows through the Strait of Hormuz have attracted growing attention. The ITF understands the urgency, but we are unequivocal on one point: any such corridor can only operate if there is a full, binding, verified guarantee from every party to this conflict that participating vessels and their crews will not be targeted.

自始至终，民航业的前线员工都承受着难以想像的沉重负担。在袭击阴霾的威胁下，他们依然坚守岗位，竭力维持机场运作、执行紧急撤侨航班，并全力应对因空域关闭、航班改道及运营不确定性所带来的连锁冲击。这场危机的连锁效应已波及全球：机组人员正面临更长的航程与超负荷的执勤时间；地勤人员与空中交通管制员则必须在极度混乱的营运环境中疲于奔命。这是一场全球航空业劳工正在共同承受的集体冲击。 ITF从一开始便严正声明，民用航空基础设施绝不能成为军事目标。遗憾的是，这一条国际公认的底线已被无情践踏。而科威特国际机场与巴林国际机场的同侪，不幸成为了最新一批为此付出惨痛代价的受害者。
Civil aviation workers have been carrying an impossible burden since day one. They kept airports operating under the threat of attack. They ran evacuation flights. They managed the cascading disruption of closed airspace, rerouted flights and maximum operational uncertainty. The knock-on effects extend worldwide: flight crews facing longer routes and extended duty times, ground staff and air traffic controllers managing complex operational chaos. This is a global aviation workforce absorbing a global shock. The ITF said from the outset that civilian aviation infrastructure and must never be military targets. That principle has been violated. Workers at Kuwait International Airport and Bahrain International Airport are the latest to pay the ultimate price.

ITF这100天的诉求
The ITF’s demands 100 days in

过去这一百天里，运输工人日夜面临着死亡、受伤、非法拘留、精神创伤与被迫滞留的血腥威胁。然而，即便身处险境，他们依然坚守岗位，默默运送着全球赖以生存的旅客、物资与生命必需品。
For one hundred days transport workers have been killed, injured, detained, traumatised and stranded while continuing to carry passengers, cargo and essential goods on which the world depends.
我们的诉求依然不变：
Our demands remain unchanged:
• 各方立即永久停火并全面缓和局势。
An immediate, permanent ceasefire and full de-escalation by all parties.
• 根据国际法，对平民运输工人及民用基础设施提供全面、无条件的保护
Full and unconditional protection of civilian transport workers and civilian infrastructure under international law
• 立即釋放所有被扣押的海員和船舶。
The immediate release of all detained seafarers and vessels.
• 全面落实《海事劳工公约》的各项保护措施，包括船员换班、工资支付、不受限制的通信和遣返。
Full implementation of Maritime Labour Convention protections, including crew changes, wage payments, unrestricted communications and repatriation.
• 停止滥用不可抗力条款来损害工人权利。
An end of the misuse of force majeure to undermine workers’ rights.
• 为所有受冲突影响的交通运输从业人员提供有意义的心理健康支援。
Meaningful mental health support for all transport workers affected by this conflict.
• 任何人道海上走廊的建立都必须有充分、可核实、具有约束力的安全保证。
Any humanitarian maritime corridor to be enacted only with full, verified, binding safety guarantees.
• 在联合国领导下，紧急进行外交努力，以国际法和联合国宪章为基础，实现公正持久的和平。
Urgent diplomatic engagement under United Nations leadership toward a just and durable peace, grounded in international law and the UN Charter.

100天来，各国政府发表声明，军队交火，政治领袖捍卫各自的立场。
For 100 days, governments have issued statements, militaries have exchanged fire, and political leaders have defended their positions.

但运输工人付出了代价。
Transport workers have carried the cost.

ITF代表全球超过1650万名运输工人，我们的讯息很明确：运输工人绝不是消耗品！他们不是附带损害！他们不是谈判筹码！他们不是战争工具！结束这场战争，保护平民运输工人，让滞留和被拘留的运输工人回家。
The ITF represents more than 16.5 million transport workers worldwide and our message is clear: Transport workers are not expendable. They are not collateral damage. They are not bargaining chips. They are not instruments of war. End this war, protect civilian transport workers, and bring stranded and detained transport workers home.

在此之前，ITF将继续发声、组织活动并为每位身陷这场冲突阴霾下的运输工人而战。
Until that happens, the ITF will continue to speak out, organise and fight for every transport worker trapped in the shadow of this conflict.

制度已崩坏，我们受够了！
The system is broken, we have had enough

世界海员和码头工人工会要求立即结束海员人道危机，并呼吁各国政府正视「方便旗」制度，该制度助长了剥削，却未能保护海员。
World’s seafarers’ and dockers’ unions demand immediate end to seafarer humanitarian crisis – call for governments to confront the Flag of Convenience system that enables exploitation and fails to protect seafarers.

世界各海事工会代表齐聚国际运输工人联盟（ITF）公平实践委员会（Fair Practices Committee，FPC），以前所未有的团结姿态，要求立即结束波斯湾海员面临的人道危机。
The world’s maritime unions came together at the ITF’s Fair Practices Committee in an unprecedented show of solidarity to demand an immediate end to the humanitarian crisis faced by seafarers in the Persian Gulf.

各工会重申ITF的呼吁 — 各方应永久停火并全面缓和局势，立即启动以国际法为基础的外交斡旋。他们谴责以色列和美国的非法轰炸，以及伊朗随后在该地区发动的报复性攻击，认为这些行为违反了国际法最基本的原则：禁止使用武力。
The unions reiterate the ITF’s call for a permanent ceasefire and full de-escalation by all parties, and the urgent initiation of diplomacy grounded in international law. They condemn the illegal bombing carried out by Israel and the United States, and the subsequent retaliatory attacks launched by Iran across the region, in violation of the most fundamental rule of international law: the prohibition on the use of force.

超过2万名海员仍然被困在霍尔木兹海峡，他们面临恐惧和前景不明，与家人失散，许多人面临食物、水和燃料短缺的困境。
More than 20,000 seafarers remain trapped inside the Strait of Hormuz, facing fear and uncertainty, cut off from their families, and in many cases running short of food, water and fuel.

海员在非自愿的情况下进入战区，因袭击而丧生或受伤。他们大多来自全球南方国家，离乡别井，为世界各地的经济体和社会运送货物。然而，他们却沦为地缘政治冲突的棋子。
Seafarers have been killed and injured in attacks in a war zone they did not choose to enter. They are workers largely from the Global South, far from home, carrying the world’s cargo on behalf of all our economies and communities. Yet they are being used as pawns in geopolitical conflict.

该地区海员的心理健康承受着巨大的压力，而雇主 — 包括我们在国际谈判论坛的合作伙伴 — 仍然拒绝为海员提供更完善的心理社会伤害保护，甚至在最绝望的情况下，拒绝提供针对自杀的保护。
The mental health of seafarers in the region is under immense strain, and employers – including our partners in the International Bargaining Forum – continue to deny enhanced protections for psychosocial harm, including suicide in the most desperate cases.

国际运输工人联盟（ITF）及其属会数十年来一直在与方便旗制度斗争。我们揭露了这项制度的本质，开展了反对运动，记录了对人类造成的后果，并要求各国政府采取行动废除。
The ITF and our affiliated unions have been fighting the Flag of Convenience (FOC) system for decades. We have named it, campaigned against it, documented its human consequences, and demanded that governments act to end it.

此刻，我们要再次揭露：方便旗制度是剥削海员的核心毒瘤。在这场危机中，我们检查员和支援团队每天都在处理许多源于此制度的剥削事件。正是这种制度支撑着影子船队，导致海员被遗弃人数屡创新高，并在新冠疫情期间的船员换班危机中，造成了最严重的剥削行为。而各国政府一年复一年，在一次又一次的危机中，都选择让海员失望。We are naming it again now: the FOC system is the rotten apple at the core of seafarer exploitation. Within this crisis, it is behind many of the abuses our inspectors and support teams are dealing with daily. It is the enabling architecture behind the shadow fleet, behind record-breaking abandonment figures and behind the worst abuses of the Covid-19 crew change crisis. And governments have chosen, year after year, crisis after crisis, to fail seafarers.

制度已经崩坏，我们有证据。
The system is broken, we have the evidence

自美以伊战争爆发以来，国际运输工人联盟 （ITF） 接获来自该地区海员的2,200多宗求助。其中一半与未支付工资和合约应得权益有关、约20%要求遣返回家；约10%涉及船舶燃料和物资严重短缺问题。迄今，ITF已协助遣返逾540名海员。
Since the US/Israel-Iran war began, the ITF has received over 2,200 requests for assistance from seafarers in the region. Half relate to unpaid wages and contractual entitlements; around 20% are requests for repatriation; and roughly 10% concern vessels running critically low on essential fuel and supplies. To date, the ITF has assisted in the repatriation of more than 540 seafarers.

这场人道危机并非毫无预兆。 ITF的数据显示，2025年再次成为被遗弃海员人数最多的一年 — 共有6223名海员遭遗弃，比前一年增加了32%，这也是被遗弃人数连续第六年上升。一场早已触发的危机。
This crisis did not arrive without warning. The ITF’s data showed that 2025 was again the worst year on record for seafarer abandonment – with 6,223 seafarers abandoned, a 32% increase on the previous year and the sixth consecutive year of rising cases. A crisis that was already happening.

在方便旗制度下，船东可以在与船舶拥有权、管理或运营没有任何实际联系的国家注册船旗 — 这违反了《联合国海洋法公约》。船旗国收取注册费，却只提供最低限度的审查和承担几乎等于零的责任。他们出售的是无需执法的主权。
Under the FOC system, a shipowner can register a vessel in a state with no genuine link to its ownership, management or operation – in contravention of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. In exchange for registration fees, flag states offer minimal scrutiny and near-zero accountability. They are selling enforcement-free sovereignty.

船东可以合法地购买船旗，然后肆意剥削船员，遗弃船舶，翌日就换个船旗注册 — 这足以说明海事管治的岌岌可危。
The simple fact that a shipowner can buy a flag, exploit a crew, abandon a vessel, and register under a different flag tomorrow – legally – tells you everything about the parlous state of maritime governance.

船旗国和不择手段的雇主屡次辜负海员，却逍遥法外。最糟糕的方便旗船籍国完全推卸对船员的责任。这是一种选择，一种为了收取注册费而放弃维护和保护海员权利的选择。
Flag states and unscrupulous employers have failed seafarers repeatedly, without consequence. The worst FOC flags have shown a complete derogation of responsibility towards their crews. That is a choice, a choice to collect registration fees over enforcing and protecting seafarers’ rights.
我们的诉求Our demands：
1. 所有船舶注册必须公开利益船东的资讯。
Mandatory beneficial ownership transparency for all vessel registrations.
2. 政府对方便旗制度展开调查。
Government investigations into the FOC system.
3. 强制执行「真实联系」原则 — 无法证明存在此联系的船旗国不应持有颁发船旗的权利。
Enforcement of the ‘genuine link’ – flag states that cannot demonstrate this link should lose the right to issue flags.
4. 对屡次违反《海事劳工公约》义务的船旗国追究全部责任。
Full accountability for flag states that repeatedly breach their Maritime Labour Convention obligations.
5. 保障被遗弃海员的遣返权、工资追偿权和法律补偿权 – 如果找不到船东，则船旗国应承担经济责任。
A guaranteed right to repatriation, wage recovery, and legal redress for abandoned seafarers – with flag states held financially liable where shipowners cannot be found.

方便旗制度是透过多国政府的主动选择建立和扩展的。它也可以透过不同的选择进行改革。海员被遗弃、假船旗、影子船队、规避制裁 — 这些都是制度失灵的相互关联后果。除非制度得到改革，否则这些问题将不断重演。
The FOC system was built and expanded through the active choices of governments. It can be reformed through different choices. Seafarer abandonment, false flags, shadow fleets, sanctions evasion – these are interconnected outcomes of a failing system. They will keep repeating until the system is reformed.

身为世界海员和码头工人工会的代表，我们在此声明：我们受够了。受够了剥削。受够了遗弃。受够了将维持全球经济运作的人视为可有可无的制度。
As representatives of the world’s seafarers’ and dockers’ unions, we say this: We have had enough. Enough exploitation. Enough abandonment. Enough of a system that treats the people who keep the global economy moving as expendable.

全世界都在关注霍尔木兹海峡。国际社会必须做出抉择：是否真心希望维持全球贸易运作的工人获得保障？
The world is watching the Strait of Hormuz. The international community must decide whether it is serious about protecting the workers who keep global trade moving.

国际运输工人联盟（ITF）正式就假工会问题投诉斯洛文尼亚政府容许雇主干预海员权利
ITF files complaint against Slovenia over sham union scandal exposing employer interference in seafarers’ rights

国际运输工人联盟（ITF）今天向国际劳工组织（ILO）正式投诉斯洛文尼亚共和国政府，揭露其未能保护海员的工会活动免受雇主干扰。
The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) filed a formal complaint against the Government of the Republic of Slovenia to the International Labour Organization (ILO) today, exposing its failure to protect seafarers from employer interference in trade union activity.

在向国际劳工组织结社自由委员会 (CFA) 提交的申诉书中，ITF详述国际海员联盟 (International Seafarers’ Union, ISU) 如何与一家名为 Lanibra 的私人公司关系密切，涉嫌违反国际法，破坏工会基本权利。
The complaint to the ILO Committee on Freedom of Association (CFA) details how the International Seafarers’ Union (ISU), operating in close connection with a private company, Lanibra, is undermining fundamental trade union rights, in breach of international law.

提交的文件列举证据，证明ISU并非独立的工人组织，并呼吁斯洛文尼亚共和国政府采取紧急行动。文件解释，ISU由代表不法船东的个人控制，其目的是破坏海员既有的劳工权利。
The submission sets out evidence that the ISU is not an independent workers’ organisation and calls on the Government of the Republic of Slovenia to take urgent action. It explains that ISU is controlled by individuals acting on behalf of unscrupulous shipowners in order to undermine established seafarers’ labour rights.

一个为雇主服务的假工会A sham union built to serve employers
ITF的投诉显示：
The ITF’s complaint shows that:
• ISU 和 Lanibra 由同一批人创立和营运，双方领导层和职能重叠。
The ISU and Lanibra were founded and operated by the same individuals, with overlapping leadership and functions.
• Lanibra 将自己定位为顾问公司，可以透过 ISU 提供「量身定制」的协议，以吸引船东的注意 — 这些协议旨在满足船公司要求，而不是工人的利益。
Lanibra markets itself to shipowners as a consultancy that can deliver “tailor-made” agreements through ISU – agreements designed to meet company requirements, not workers’ interests.
• Lanibra 充当雇主的代理人，而ISU 则声称代表海员 — 这明显构成雇主对工会的干预，而根据国际劳工公约第98L号第2条，这种干预是国际法严格禁止的。
Lanibra acts as an agent for employers while the ISU claims to represent seafarers – amounting to clear employer influence in a union, strictly prohibited by international law under Article 2 of ILO Convention 98L

ITF海员分会主席David Heindel表示：「显而易见，这个假工会违反了既定的国际工会法 — 这种情况绝不能继续下去。这种虚假运作已损害海员的工资收入和工作条件，而从中获利的却是与其合作的无良航运公司和ISU- Lanibra领导层。」
ITF Seafarers’ Section Chair, David Heindel, said: “It is plain to see that this sham union is breaking established international law on what trade unions are meant to be – this cannot be allowed to go on. This sham operation has already hit the pay and conditions of seafarers, to the benefit of the unscrupulous shipping companies it works with and the ISU-Lanibra leadership,”

问责机制缺失Failure of accountability

ITF认为，斯洛文尼亚未能履行其在国际劳工公约第98号的义务，以及有关结社自由和有效承认集体谈判权的原则，这些原则保障工人组织免受雇主干预。
The ITF argues that Slovenia has failed to uphold its obligations under ILO Convention 98 and the principles concerning freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining, which guarantee workers’ organisations protection from employer interference.

尽管ITF一再发出警告，国际劳工组织 (ILO) 监督机构也表达了关注，但斯洛文尼亚当局至今仍未采取行动。
Despite repeated warnings from the ITF and concerns raised by ILO supervisory bodies, Slovenian authorities have so far failed to act.

ITF主席Paddy Crumlin表示：「ISU-Lanibra的继续存在，是对结社自由和真正集体谈判权的直接冲击，海员们正在为此付出代价。」
“The continuing existence of ISU-Lanibra is a direct attack on freedom of association and the right to genuine collective bargaining, for which seafarers are paying the price,” said ITF President Paddy Crumlin.

斯洛文尼亚共和国政府没有任何借口不采取行动 — 它必须立即取缔这个虚假的工会组织，否则，其保障国家工会权利方面的信誉，将岌岌可危。
The Government of the Republic of Slovenia has no excuses not to act – it must immediately shut down this fake trade union operation, or else it places its entire credibility on trade union rights at risk.”

The Hong Kong International Seafarers Services Centre (HKISSC) successfully concluded its Easter Seafarer Outreach Programme on 2 April 2026. Launched on 4 March, the initiative reached 109 merchant vessels and provided care and support to more than 2,390 seafarers.

此次探访慰问活动得到了兩家理事單位香港商船高級船員協會（MNOG）與香港航業海員合併工會 (AUS) 的重視與支持，ITF香港方便旗事務辦事處予以了強力後援；OOCL、SEASPAN、ANGLO-EASTERN 、WAN HAI、PIL、MAERSK香港公司及香港FLEET等航運公司對此次慰問行動予以了高度肯定与支持，部分公司不但提供了商船抵港信息，聯繫船上的海員做好接待，还积极协助中心工作人員申請碼頭通行證；受访海員亦对工作团队的慰问表示感谢，他们对工会开展关爱探访海员的活动给予了高度评价。
The programme was strongly supported by the Merchant Navy Officers’ Guild – Hong Kong and the Amalgamated Union of Seafarers, Hong Kong with additional backing from the Hong Kong ITF (FOC) Campaign Office. Leading shipping companies, including OOCL, SEASPAN, ANGLO-EASTERN, WAN HAI, PIL, MAERSK Hong Kong, and Hong Kong FLEET, highly commended the outreach efforts. Several companies not only provided vessel arrival information and facilitated crew engagement, but also actively assisted HKISSC staff in obtaining terminal access permits. Seafarers expressed heartfelt gratitude to the outreach team and praised the unions’ steadfast commitment to safeguarding seafarers’ welfare and strengthening solidarity across international crews

活動期間，中心工作團隊在上述航運公司的安排下，探訪了由其管理的34艘船舶；另隨機安排探訪慰問的商船75艘（其中48艘簽有集體協議）。來自中國內地與臺灣、菲律賓、印度、烏克蘭、俄羅斯、罗马尼亚、波兰、斯里兰卡、印尼、緬甸等25個國家的海員受惠于慰問行動，他們對香港兩家工會的关爱国际海員探访慰问行動予以了高度評價，紛紛表示要將香港国际海员中心開展的信息在同事與朋友中廣為傳播。
During the activity period, HKISSC teams with the arrangements of the aforementioned shipping companies, visited 34 vessels along with 75 randomly selected ships (48 of which operate under collective agreements). Beneficiaries included seafarers from 25 countries, including Mainland China, Taiwan, the Philippines, India, Ukraine, Russia, Romania, Poland, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Myanmar. Many participants spoke highly of the initiative and pledged to share news of HKISSC’s care and outreach with colleagues and friends worldwide.
