AFL-CIO UNIONS CALL FOR ACTION AND ACCOUNTABILITY ON ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF CAPITOL ATTACK

Leaders of AFL-CIO affiliate unions reaffirmed the labor movement’s commitment to
protecting our democracy in a series of powerful statements issued on the one-year
anniversary of the insurrection on Capitol Hill.

“One year ago today, we watched in shock as American citizens violently attacked our
own government,” AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler said in a message to the 12.5 million
members of the federation’s 57 affiliate unions.

“Their goal was to stop the peaceful transition of power and overturn the will of the
American people.”

“We, the working people of our country, have always stood up to defend our
democracy.”

“A year later, we remain ready, as we always have, to mobilize, educate, activate and do
our part.”

“Our freedom depends on it.”

American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten joined other union
presidents in calling on Congress to pass legislation to protect union rights and the
freedom to vote.

“I hope we all take time to reflect on the events of last Jan. 6—the day our democracy
almost died—and recommit ourselves to fighting the misinformation and lies that make
this a perilous time for our way of life,” she said in a statement.

“As Congress continues to investigate the attack on the Capitol, I want to be clear that
our commitment to democracy is as strong as ever.”

“That’s why we’re fighting for key pieces of legislation that will help make America
better.”

“We need the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act
to ensure the right to vote is protected for all Americans…”

“We need the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, the Public Service Freedom to
Negotiate Act and the Build Back Better Act to help workers across the country recover
from this pandemic.”

“And we need to support the full investigation being done by the bipartisan Jan. 6
committee.”

MM&P President Don Marcus issued a statement calling for justice and concerted action
to protect our democratic freedoms.

“The crimes that took place on January 6 must not go unpunished,” he said.
“The attempted theft of the last Presidential election demands accountability.”
“Those in our own government who encouraged and facilitated this disgraceful episode
in U.S. history must be held no less accountable than the rioters who stormed the
Capitol.”

“Any other outcome would be equivalent to blessing a dry run on the future destruction
of our democratic process.”

To better serve mariners during this time, we are updating our temporary provisions.
These provisions are subject to change once operations are on a more normal footing.
Instructions for Urgent Assistance With Applying for a Passport

QUALIFICATIONS
— Be a credentialed merchant mariner;
— Be eligible to apply on a DS-82 application for passport renewal. (Check eligibility at
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/have-passport/renew.html); and
— Have a current passport that is expired or expiring in 7 months or less.

APPLICATION AND MAILING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Applicants must submit the following:
— DS-82 application completed, signed, and dated;
— Passport photograph taken within the past six months;
— Current passport;
— Copy of Merchant Mariner Credential (MCC), front and back.
— A check or money order in the amount of $208.32 made payable to U.S. Department
of State if applying for a passport book only. If applying for both the passport book and
card, the total fee is $238.32. This amount includes the passport fee, expedite fee, and 1-
2 day delivery fee (for information regarding passport fees, please visit travel.state.gov).
— Letter from supervisor on company letterhead or your U.S. mariners’ union.

2. The supervisor or U.S. mariners’ union letter should include the following details:

Every effort will be made to process the passport application within about one week of
receipt. For instance, applications received on Monday may be completed and sent out
by Friday of the same week.

REQUESTING A SECOND PASSPORT
Mariners may wish to apply for a second limited validity passport (4 years). Second
passports provide greater flexibility, particularly if mariners need to apply for visas
when traveling domestically and overseas.

For more information, please see:
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/have-passport/second-passportbook.html.

Below are the two options for applying for a second passport.

application).

OPTION 2: REQUESTING A SECOND PASSPORT WITHOUT SUBMITTING A CURRENT VALID PASSPORT
If mariners need to use their current (10-year) passport while applying for their second
passport, they can apply at a passport acceptance facility using a DS-11 form. They can
expect to receive the second passport within the expedited timeframe posted at
travel.state.gov.

To apply at a passport acceptance facility, applicants need:
— Completed (not signed) DS-11 application;
— Passport photograph;
— Photocopy of their 10-year passport data page;
— Signed statement of need for a second passport as outlined on our website;

service
and the additional $18.32 for 1-2-day return delivery; and
— Additional payment of $35 to the passport acceptance facility to execute the
application.

To locate the nearest passport acceptance facility, see https://iafdb.travel.state.gov.

Please note that many passport acceptance facilities require customers to schedule an
appointment ahead of their visit.

We thank you for your continued understanding and patience during these
unprecedented times.

AUSTRALIA’S LABOR PARTY WANTS NEW NATIONAL FLEET TO SAFEGUARD SECURITY, PROTECT SUPPLY CHAIN

A decade after Australia’s government opened the coastal trades to flag-of-convenience vessels, the Labor Party is pushing for creation of a new, privately owned national fleet
that could be used for homeland security.

In 2012, the government lifted the country’s cabotage law, which—like the Jones Act and
cabotage laws in many other countries—banned foreign-flag ships from the coastal
trades.

Afterwards Australia’s national fleet all but disappeared and almost all the country’s
mariners were thrown out of work.

Now the pandemic-generated upheaval in world trade has led to proposals for a course
correction.

Opposition leader Anthony Albanese, who heads the Australian Labor Party, is calling
for creation of a new strategic security fleet to protect the country from supply chain
disruptions.

“In times of conflict and crisis, our economic sovereignty and national security are
dependent on Australian seafarers working on Australian ships,” Albanese said last
week.

“Right now, less than one percent of Australian seaborne trade is carried by Australian
ships, forcing our nation to rely on foreign governments and companies for our essential
imports.”

Under the Labor Party proposal, the government would go back to enforcing the
cabotage laws and companies would have to seek a waiver to use a foreign-flagged
vessel.

Australia’s Labor Party has traditionally been a strong supporter of the domestic
maritime industry.

But politicians from other parties have also been pressing the issue: a member of the
governing coalition recently warned that Australia risks “sleepwalking to chaos and
further vulnerability” unless it revives the domestic fleet.

“This campaign isn’t just about getting Australian seafarers back up the gangways of
Australian ships, it’s about the importance of a strong shipping industry to the economic
success of an island nation,” says Paddy Crumlin, national secretary of the Maritime
Union of Australia and president of the International Transport Workers.

MUA has partnered with other unions to fight for the reconstitution of the national fleet.

IN TIT FOR TAT WITH HOUTHI REBELS, SAUDI COALITION SEIZES TANKER

The Houthi rebels who control the northern part of Yemen are accusing the Saudi
Arabia-led coalition supporting the Yemeni government of seizing an oil tanker carrying
fuel that is desperately needed by local residents.

The Houthis claim the coalition diverted the Panama-flagged tanker SPLENDOUR
SAPPHIRE on Jan. 5 to retaliate for the rebels’ seizure three days earlier of the
commercial vessel RWABEE.

The Houthis claim the RWABEE was being used to move military equipment.

The conflict in Yemen continues to pose a risk to merchant vessels in the Red Sea, Bab al
Mandeb Strait, and Gulf of Aden.

Threats include, but are not limited to, missiles, rockets, projectiles, mines and small
arms, the US says in a maritime advisory that warns of rising international tensions in
the region.

US-flagged merchant vessels operating in these areas are advised to avoid entering or
loitering near Yemen’s ports, and to exercise increased caution if operating in Yemen’s
territorial waters or Saudi territorial waters on the Red Sea.

They warn crews to be especially vigilant if at anchor, operating in restricted
maneuvering environments, or proceeding at slow speeds.

AFTER DANES FREE PIRATES, NATIONS IN REGION URGED TO TAKE MORE RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROSECUTIONS

The shipping industry trade group BIMCO is calling on governments in the Gulf of
Guinea region to take more responsibility for prosecuting suspected pirates.

BIMCO released a statement urging regional governments to play a more active role
after news that the Danish frigate ESBERN SNARE had released three suspected pirates
because of the risk that Denmark would not have been able to deport them if they were
sent to Copenhagen for trial.

A fourth pirate who was injured during arrest was sent to Denmark for medical care and
a trial because the country was obligated to do so under international law.
The four were captured after a firefight on Nov. 24 when the crew of the ESBERN
SNARE launched a helicopter to investigate a suspicious skiff.

When the occupants of the skiff did not stop as ordered, Danish forces fired warning
shots and the pirates responded by opening fire.

The Danish boarding team returned fire, killing four pirates, injuring one and capturing
three others.

After three rounds of surgery aboard ESBERN SNARE, the injured man was evacuated
to a hospital in Ghana.

Meanwhile the Danish authorities debated what to do.

“We have no interest in getting the persons in question to Denmark, where they would
have to serve a possible sentence, and where we also risk that they would not
subsequently be able to be deported,” said Danish Minister of Justice Nick Hækkerup.
“They have no connection to Denmark, and the crime they have been charged with has
been committed far from Denmark. They simply do not belong here.”

The government could find no legal way to release the injured man locally, so he was
sent to Copenhagen to stand trial.

As for the three uninjured suspects, they were given a small inflatable boat and an
outboard motor.

“It is safe equipment, understood in the sense that it can transport them safely to the
coast,” another Danish official said. “But it is not stuff that can be used for piracy.”
“The presence of international navies is a very important step in the right direction to
keep seafarers safe but establishing a sustainable security situation in the Gulf of Guinea
cannot happen without full support of the region,” said BIMCO Secretary General and
CEO David Loosley.

“Bringing suspected pirates to justice is best done by regional coastal states.”

MM&P CLOSED JAN. 17 FOR MARTIN LUTHER KING’S BIRTHDAY

All MM&P union halls, the MM&P Federal Credit Union, the MM&P Plan Office and
MM&P headquarters will be closed on Monday, Jan. 17, for the birthday of the Rev. Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.

The Nobel Prize laureate and civil rights activist was assassinated in 1968 in Memphis,
where he had gone to support a strike by the city’s sanitation workers.

“The labor movement did not diminish the strength of the nation but enlarged it,” King
once said.

“Those who attack labor forget these simple truths, but history remembers.”
