Summary

Working conditions in the transport sector have received less attention in consultations on recent supply chain legislation. Yet, transport workers are crucial as they connect geographically dispersed production and sales points, effectively representing the links in a supply chain. The book contributes to the body of knowledge on labour standards compliance at sea and in Caribbean and European ports. It documents decent work deficits and suggests possible measures to address them.With contributions byAarón Mora Barahona | Sergio Andrés Coronado Delgado | Ismail Doga Karatepe | Elena Repetto Marci | Cynthia Mora-Izaguirre | Jason Hernández Murillo | José Vidal Castaño Ramírez | Christoph Scherrer
