[image] Failed oversight, lax punishments: How the Coast Guard has allowed sexual... The US Coast Guard has failed to use its power to prevent and punish sexual assault and misconduct for decades — despite growing evidence that this kind of behavior is a longstanding problem at sea. …

The company could have fired them right away for violating the alcohol policy. Why didn’t they?

I don’t know the exact timeline but my guess would be that they decided against the smoke/fire method and actually conducted an investigation. Seeing as how these alleged events happened years before, it was probably a chore to conduct such an investigation. I’m sure on day one of the investigatio…

Seems like someone has some pretty strong opinions about MEBA and how the union should act and what they should do. It is always the non union company men that have never sailed union that tend to be the most vocal. That’s until they are laid off or fired for something petty so the company doesn’t h…

In this case where there was a delay between the incident and reporting, presumably it takes longer to gather state…

I have for many years had to live in the heads of plaintiff’s lawyers, so the following thoughts come reflexively to me. They are based not on the criminal law aspect of the crime, but on the civil law aspect; the lawsuit which is inevitable after the crime: Plaintiff lawyers are out for restitutio…

[image] freighterman1: The perpetrator was vetted for employment by the union, not by the employer. AFAIK that’s not correct, the four senior officers (Capt., C/E, C/M, 1 A/E ) are selected by the company.

@freighterman1 senior officers are chosen by the company and actually even junior officers in MMP & MEBA work by throwing union cards. The oldest card/ highest card status has the first right to the job. However, at this time the company has the right to refuse the individual if the Captain has told…
