The Miami Guidelines are designed to help ITF affiliated trade unions who negotiate with cruise companies. Originally published in 1994 and updated in 2011, they are now part of official ITF policy. The ITF unions who represent cruise ship workers meet regularly to discuss what changes need to be made to the guidelines and they are updated regularly.
These guidelines are important as they highlight the priorities for unions signing CBAs, such as changes to MLC or other international conventions.
The current guidelines are under review at the moment. We will publish the new guidelines here once they are agreed.
