ITF response to New Zealand reflagging decision

Commenting on the New Zealand government’s decision to ban foreign-flagged fishing vessels in its waters, Jon Whitlow, secretary of the ITF (International Transport Workers' Federation) fisheries section, described the move as "welcome, right and overdue. Scandal has followed scandal in this area in recent years, including grave instances of crew abuse. We congratulate MUNZ (the Maritime Union of New Zealand) and all those who pushed for this reform."
