Happy International Students' Day!

Today is the International Students' Day, and we congratulate all studying youth!


The MTWTU embraces over 7,000 students and cadets of Ukrainian maritime educational institutions constantly keeping in touch with them via personal meetings, educational seminars and social media.

In October 2019, we launched the new format of youth organizing events - each Tuesday, a group of the NU "OMA" cadets visits our office and learns about our activities.

The main objectives of these meetings are to increase the level of Union awareness, tell about seafarers' labor rights, and teach the future mariners to read and understand their employment contract and the CBA.
