Two Condor Ferries workers have taken the firm to a tribunal over employment rights. They are arguing all St Malo-based seafarers should have the same package of benefits as anyone who lives in France. It follows a 13 day strike earlier this year over the same issue (see our February Newsletter). The maritime trade union say if they win the case, they will push Condor to improve things for all St Malo-based seafarers.
