Indonesian migrant workers' precariousness in sea-based sectors
An opinion editorial by Mi Zhou, Chief Technical Advisor of the ILO Ship to Shore Rights Southeast Asia programme, published by the Antara News on 18 December.
Indonesians working on foreign-flagged vessels as fishers and seafarers are entitled to the same protection as Indonesian migrant workers in other sectors. The fact that their workplace is at sea should not result in the erosion of their protection.
