Thomas Kambi is still waiting. It has been now almost two months since he was fired from Maersk’s subcontractor Island Marine Service – officially because he is too old and unable to deliver – according to himself and his union because he was the initiator for his crew to join a Union.<\/p>\n

And the Island Marine Service maintains its decision:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no dialogue. We have just sent a follow-up to the union that he should come and collect his salary. It’s up to him to come and pick up his last hire,\u201d says director Hamisi Ali.<\/p>\n

When Danwatch first wrote about Thomas Kambi’s dismissal in August this year<\/a>, A.P. M\u00f8ller-Maersk stated that a “thorough” investigation into the dismissal would be conducted. The investigation has now been completed, but Maersk will not disclose what has actually been communicated to the subcontractor.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the case in question is not over on our part. We will continue to be in dialogue with the subcontractor on this matter, which will be completed in a proper manner,\u201d writes press manager Signe Wagner to Danwatch.<\/p>\n

Employees must be able to organize themselves<\/h4>\n

Thomas Kambi was fired three days after he, along with 15 colleagues, put his signature on a union registration form. At the same time, in the wake of Danwatch’s disclosure of poor working conditions at the port of Mombasa (in danish)<\/a>, Maersk underlined, among other things, that employees of the shipping giant’s suppliers would be able to organize themselves into unions.<\/p>\n

“It is clear that those working for our suppliers should be able to report freely on working conditions that do not meet our standards without fear of reprisals,” Maersk said in August.<\/p>\n

Thomas Kambi doesn’t think he’ll get his job back:<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope for compensation. And then I have to try to find another job in the harbor. ”<\/p>\n
