[QUOTE=ombugge;192438]Are there many women in high position in the fashion industry?[/QUOTE]
Vera Wang, Ivanka Trump, Miuccia Prada, the late great Coco Channel, Donatella Versace… there’s another one that I’m forgetting: I had a pair of her slacks that I wore until they were rags. Probably others, I don’t watch that industry. I will always be grateful to Ivanka for making pretty dresses with real pockets, though. For that reason, if there’s ever a Nobel prize for fashion, she should get it.
They did bring their pay up to date, while the spotlight was on them. Gotta keep the the light on them, gotta name the names. That’s journalism. Grant Rowles is doing a great job. I wish I used social media, so I could increase the number of “shares” for his story.
credit check on a vessel/charterer/owner before it is allowed in your waters would be a start
compulsory insurance to pay crew, run vessel in case of bankruptcy would be a start
sounds like thats where its headed

Unless “human rights” is a cause that can be used to invade some place with oil or as an argument for some other political advantage there is little reason for American politicians to get involved. This is especially true when many of the people who would be burdened with compliance are campaign contributors.

You are an old cynic!!! I do appreciate that in a man.

I would have to agree with you there. Look to our corrupt Congress for examples. Women in high office don’t differ much from men when it comes to corruption and shady practices.
There’s considerably more to it than a “nice idea”. It’s a requirement that ships must be able to show that the ship’s insurance (P&I) covers costs.
The amendments require that a certificate or other documented evidence of financial security has to be issued by the financial security provider of the shipowner. This certificate has to be carried on board the ship.
It’s similar to what is already required for oil spill and wreck removal insurance. It’s very common to have to show these documents to port officals. In some cases the documents must be sent to the port in advance to obtain permission to enter.
It’s analogous to being pulled over while driving when the cop asks for driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance, but ship get “pulled over” every time it enters port.
