Issues and policies related to labor protection of the Crew of Fishing Vessels are more complicated than those employment laws that regulate the average labors. Technically, the labors protection of the fishing crew is particularly important, as it is uniquely related to other legal aspects and policies. From a practical standpoint, the Intemational Laws also provide more applicable rules and regulations than other polices. Currently, the Seafarer Act is not relevant to the protection of the Crew of Fishing Vessels. In addition, the regulations of the Labor Standards Laws are not compatible with the fishing crew issues. Since the employers have heavily hired foreign fishing crew, the protection of labor conditions and safety and health regulations of the fishing crew are severely undermined. These issues must be resolved immediately, otherwise would damage the reputation ofour nation. The author of this study attempted to examine the difference of work nature between the fishing crew and other land-based workers from the sociological perspective. The findings will be used to promote the labor policies for protecting the fishing crew. In addition, the contents of the Work in Fishing Convention of 2007 would be introduced, and the current global trend in labor protection of the fishing crew would be addressed. For the purpose of improving the legal mechanism of the fishing crew's labor rights, the author examined their rights based on the Seafarer Act and the Labor Standards Laws and Marine Laws of Japan, as well as compared the rights of the fishing crew with land-based workers. |
