Maersk Crew credit union membership as a reason for beating pirates

 


When working people have the choice to form unions, they can ensure that they receive the proper training to keep the safe on the job.


The American crew members of the Maersk Alabama - a ship recently hijacked by Somali pirates - fought back and won.  They specifically cited their union membership as a reason for how they were able to beat the pirates.


Watch this new video about how the crew's union membership helped them fight the pirates, and then pass it on to your friends.


Third Engineer John Cronan, a member of both the Seafarers International Union and the Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association, said this about their efforts:



"We are American seamen.  We are union members.  We stuck together, we did our jobs.  And that's how we did it."
