British Seamen Hit One Day Strike Over Ship Crews

About 12,000 British seamen began a one day strike halting most shipping from England to protest Cunard plans to flag ships in the Bahamas and hire lower paid foreign crews. Townsend Thorenson ferries canceled channel crossings while Sealink cut continent service by half using French and Belgian crews. The NUS says no British port sails during the stoppage with full member support, though only 12,000 are involved due to legal limits on overseas strikes.
