When you usually hear "magna carta" it might be your historically inaccurate realitive try to use it as a scapegoat for their ramblings, but the term is much more than that.
Sen. Sonny Angara wrote Senate Bill 135, "which has been consolidated along with similar measures into Senate Bill 2369, he said this would ensure the rights of Filipino seafarers will be upheld and they will be given protection under existing laws."
the right to just terms and conditions of work
right to self-organization
engage in collective bargaining (Elon Musk should take a hint on this one)
participate in democratic exercises
right to educational advancement and training at a reasonable cost
right against discrimination
to be protected against all forms of harassment and bullying
"Filipino seafarers will also be provided with various perks and minimum standards of employment, including compulsory benefits like decent accommodation, sanitation, recreation and food facilities."
These rights should not have to be debated. Yet, they are to some degree in many if not all parts of the world.
The global fishing industry has much more than overfishing to deal with.

🐬🐬🐬Donate to the Dolphin Project 🐬🐬🐬https://www.dolphinproject.com/donate/
Dolphin Project is a non-profit charitable organization, dedicated to the welfare and protection of dolphins worldwide. Founded by Richard (Ric) O’Barry on Earth Day, April 22, 1970, the organization aims to educate the public about captivity and, where feasible, retire and/or release captive dolphins.
The mission of Dolphin Project is to end dolphin exploitation and slaughter, as dolphins are routinely captured, harassed, slaughtered and sold into captivity around the world – all in the name of profit. Dolphin Project works not only to halt these slaughters, but also to rehabilitate captive dolphins for retirement and/or release, investigate and advocate for economic alternatives to dolphin slaughter, and to put a permanent end to dolphin captivity.
Port Sundries is not affiliated with Dolphin Project but supports their goal 100%.
