The Pacific Islands: Wanted: A Fair Deal

Pacific Islander men in the longline fisheries work under frightening conditions. They deserve decent conditions of work.

Land-based workers in Pacific Island Countries (PICs) are generally covered by laws regulating the terms and conditions of employment, including occupational safety and health (OSH) regulations. For instance, in Fiji, Samoa and the Solomon Islands, and, more recently, in Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea and Tonga, labour laws have been introduced in compliance with the standards of the International Labour Organization (ILO). Moreover, land-based workers may be members of unions engaged in collective bargaining, as in Fiji, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Samoa. Exceptions to this may apply to the agricultural sector and to the informal sector.
