Our partner union brothers and sisters from the Singapore Maritime Officers’ Union (SMOU) and the Singapore Organisation of Seamen (SOS) visited us for an open and meaningful exchange. Throughout the discussions, they raised thoughtful questions about our work, our direction, and the challenges we face in advancing maritime workers’ rights.

In turn, we shared in detail about our activities, ongoing efforts, and long-term vision for building a stronger movement. Their visit was not only an opportunity to exchange ideas, but also a chance to see firsthand how we continue to stand strong and remain committed to defending seafarers. By engaging in frank dialogue, we deepened mutual understanding and strengthened the spirit of solidarity that connects our unions.

Fighting Together For Your Rights — Stand With Us.
