The Maritime Roundtable (MRT) 2016 will take place in Montreal, Canada 20-23 September 2016.

07/03/2016

MRT 2016 is about providing activists and future leaders with the chance to:

•          input fresh ideas and contribute to shaping the future of ITF maritime campaigns.

•          learn how to increase union power and strengthen their unions.

•          learn more about the ITF, the flags of convenience (FOC) campaign and dockers’ campaigns

•          build links and share knowledge and experiences with other maritime unions from around the world.

A participant from MRT 2012 in Casablanca said:

“It was a very positive event and are we planning to stay in contact with fellow participants from other countries. This was the start of involvement in the ITF for me. It is like a new family to work with in the future! We have not been involved in the FOC Campaign so far, but that's about to change.”

If you are interested in joining MRT 2016, you must:

•          be an active member of an ITF affiliated maritime union.

•          be interested in campaigning.

•          speak English, French or Spanish.

The ITF particularly encourages applications from women and under-35s.

You must also get in touch with your union leadership – they have to approve your attendance at the event. If we do not hear from them you will not be able to come.
