The International Transport Workers Federation, also known as ITF, has raised concerns over the treatment of 20 Filipino seafarers in Fiji, who have been subject to human rights abuses by their company. The workers were recruited and were told they would be paid $1000 a week, however their hours were undercounted, pay was siginificantly reduced and they were told to pay for their own PPE equioment. The workers were then left stranded in Fiji, where the government has made little effort to care for them, with some having had their passports taken from them.
