Seafarers employed by OLS Transport (parent company of Hannah Marine) recently approved a new five-year contract that improves health care coverage and also raises wages in each year of the agreement.The contract was overwhelmingly approved in August by crew members who sail aboard the company’s 10 tug-barge units, which operate on the Great Lakes, Inland Rivers and in the Gulf Coast region.
Approximately 50 Seafarers are covered by the agreement, which calls for an increase to “Plan G” health benefits—the top level offered through the Seafarers Health and Benefits Plan.
Other gains include the addition of five holidays, increased travel reimbursement, and better pension benefits.
The boatmen transport asphalt, oil and cement, plus other cargoes.
