Union wins $1m unpaid wages for superyacht crew
The European maritime union Nautilus has been successful in winning unpaid wages totalling almost USD1 million owed to the crew of a “superyacht” that was arrested in Malta.
The Indian Empress was abandoned by its Indian owner over a year ago, and then arrested by the authorities in Malta in September 2017. The owner, Vijay Vittal Mallya, is a tycoon who owns the Kingfisher beer label and Formula 1 Force India.
