	Maritime Union - Canadian Confederation
		Maritime Union was a project pursued in 1863 and 1864 by Arthur Hamilton Gordon, the lieutenant-governor of New Brunswick.
		The idea of Maritime Union -- the reorganization of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia into a single British colony -- was not new.
		It was not until the Province of Canada asked for an invitation to the proposed conference during the summer of 1864 that a meeting was hurriedly organized for September 1 at Charlottetown.

	Green Left - Editorial: Defend the maritime union
		The maritime union's origins were in last century's fight to establish the rights of workers.
		Last year, a strike by maritime workers together with coal miners in response to the threat of massive damages claims against striking Weipa workers turned around their struggle for the right to collective bargaining, union representation and equal pay.
		Maritime workers, both waterfront and seagoing, have long been champions of progressive campaigns -- against nuclear weapons and weapons testing, against nuclear ship visits, against uranium mining and export, against the import of tropical rainforest timber, in support of Indonesian independence after the Second World War and against the Vietnam War.

		Both unions were involved in early maritime disputes in 1878 and the 1890 Australian maritime dispute.

	Maritime Union of Australia determined to impose job cuts
		The Maritime Union of Australia is stepping up its efforts to push through a new job-cutting agreement on the waterfront after failing to ram it through a marathon membership meeting at the PandO Ports West Swanson container terminal in Melbourne.
		To assist the union leadership to secure agreement in other ports, the federal government has extended the deadline for the $350 million fund it established last year to pay for hundreds of redundancies.
		Their union leaders said they would oppose the PandO agreement at Port Botany but there is little chance they will launch any serious challenge to the national leadership.

	Maritime union deal aids Howard government
		The finalised agreement demonstrates the fraud of the claims of the trade union leadership and its supporters among the ex-radicals that the MUA was in the forefront of a political fight against the Howard government in defence of workers' conditions.
		The union's strategy was summed in the slogan "MUA here to stay." Its sole concern was to reinforce the union's position as the agency through which every attack on maritime jobs and conditions has been administered over the past 20 years.
		For maritime workers and their supporters, who only weeks ago were celebrating what they believed was a victory, it is surely time to question the political conceptions which guided them in the dispute and the misplaced trust they placed in the union leadership.

	Parliament of Australia: Senate: Committee: Report on the Navigation Amendment (Employment of Seafarers) Bill 1998
		With regard to the Maritime Union's claims of the threat of foreign labour, the Committee believes that current immigration and visa regulations are a sufficient safeguard.
		It notes evidence given by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority which states that `third party' discipline is incompatible with company employment in that it removes from companies the onus to exercise their own judgement in regard to the hiring and re-hiring of seafarers with a record of breaching codes of conduct.
		The Maritime Union makes the same claim, arguing that the loss of this provision will leave seafarers in `the invidious position of having to choose to continue to work while ill or injured, or go ashore to get medical attention but lose their right to pay'.

		Prosecutors say that the McKays conspired in 1993 and 1996 to rig the union's elections by stuffing ballot boxes and destroying ballots cast for their opponents and for union initiatives supported by the opponents.
		For much of the year, the union kept a yacht -- the "MV AMOS"-- moored in Washington that "was used to entertain government and political officials on cruises on the Potomac River," the indictment says.
		Union officials had no immediate comment on the charges, which could land all four defendants in prison for lengthy sentences and impose stiff fines.

	The Hungry Mile
		While maritime workers generated vast profits for employers and investors, they were poorly paid; maritime workers tended to be cut out of the equation.
		For much of the twentieth century, Sydney’s maritime unions provided staple fare for a mainly hostile media, and Sydney based national maritime union leaders like Jim (Big Jim) Healy (WWF General Secretary, 1937–1961) and E V Elliott (SUA Federal Secretary, 1941–1978) were well known public figures in their day, variously loved, respected, and reviled.
		Technology has changed too the nature of the waterfront; maritime workplaces, once on full view to the public, are now locked behind security and safety fencing, much of the manual labour of former times eliminated by containers, large cranes, and vehicles.

		The unions have told a Senate committee in Canberra people should only be prevented from working at the waterfront if they have committed crimes that are specifically related to terrorism.
		The unions say the new regulations will not prevent terrorism and that ships and workers operating in Australia under so-called "flags of convenience" will not be subjected to the same scrutiny that is planned for Australian based-workers.
