[QUOTE=Xmsccapt(ret);84804]Before I retired during some of these fact finding cmpi meetings the topics went from cargo pay for stowing below decks after completing the load ( from pier to deck) and other attempts at nonsense. Nope, not cargo pay or even penalty pay… Part of your job. The bs for blocking and bracing is along the same ludicrous mind set. And no, the ynsk does not get cargo pay for filling bins with items ( how many times has that been asked ). Overtime for the ships chairman doing his duty? Do I read this right? What bullshit. If someone does not want to be a ships chairman then they should not, but paid OT for it? And what is a contractual coffee and clean-up time? Yea, it was past time for me to detach my mind from Msc. While I had some adventures and met life long friends, what a pain in the butt place it became to be.[/QUOTE]
I had no idea. When I left MSC I stayed in contact with a few MSC shipmates but as time slipped away that stopped. All of these shipmates would have retired by the late 70’s to mid 80’s. .
