Re: Manning Scales.
They could always issue you with a Walky talky Des and you could answer the bells and call the bridge and say I’m alright Jack how about you ? JS
Incidentally #7 I was also told to stop all weekend overtime if possible and was only for watchkeepers. Caused a bit of dissension and it wasn’t the shipowner paying it, it was bisco. In my eyes the crews were better off under the old system , and the strike caused a lot of unnecessary harm , it was used as an excuse to negate the British merchant fleets from the Red Ensign. JS
