  • Maersk Drilling in Australia in July 1982 Maersk Drilling Opened Its Office in Perth on the West Coast of Australia
    The Danish Shipowners' Association was founded on January 17, 1884, under the name of "Dampskibsrhederi-Foreningen". At the time Danish shipowners were not awfully interested in the Association, which remained small at first. Today the Association counts most of the major shipping companies in Denmark among its members, and in a very effective way it looks after the interests of the third largest export industry in this country: shipping. The Association enjoys excellent, well-established relations with its own ministry, the Ministry of Industrial Affairs, and with other ministries and authorities, particularly the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Moreover, the MÆRSK organization co-operates well with various maritime associations and with the world at large wherever the ships operate; it maintains contacts with and connections to shipping organizations and authorities in other countries, to POST the UN, to NATO, and other international organizations. I believe that I am justified in saying that the Danish Shipowners' Associa- tion is respected for its work, both nationally and internationally, and it is always a pleasure to be reminded that the delegates of the Danish Published by A.P.

SP Group has found the answer. The top five benefits from For Poul Erik Hansen, Sourcing Manager of SP Group, the simple answer is extra resources. collaboration The extra resources are acquired through the expertise delivered by bringing in TransportRådgiverne as a business partner. 1. Savings – both on the bottom line and in internal resources “As a Sourcing Manager responsible for negotiating the logistics of 7-8 individual companies distributed across several European countries, I do not have the resources to negotiate terms 2.

  • Explaining Labor Union Support for Immigrants in Western Europe
    Fair-Weather Friends? Explaining Labor Union Support for Immigrants in Western Europe By Akasemi Nzinga Newsome A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Margaret Weir, Chair Professor J. Nicholas Ziegler Professor Taeku Lee Professor Kim Voss Summer 2015 Copyright © 2015 Akasemi Nzinga Newsome All rights reserved. Abstract Fair-Weather Friends? Explaining Labor Union Support for Immigrants in Western Europe by Akasemi Nzinga Newsome Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Margaret Weir, Chair Opposition among native workers to immigrants is well understood as a response to the economic and cultural instability caused by globalization. Increased capital mobility weakens the place-based leverage of strike action and collective bargaining, rendering unions susceptible to the protectionist concerns of native members. Yet, immigrant workers still join labor unions and turn to these organizations to improve working conditions and amplify their political voice. Little is known about the conditions underpinning pro-immigrant action by labor unions. This dissertation argues that when immigrant activists mobilize themselves, then partner with native trade unionists, they can pressure union leaders to support their concerns. By analyzing data from more than 120 in-depth interviews with trade unionists, employers, NGO-officials and politicians, conducted during 16 months of fieldwork in Denmark, Germany and the UK, I present evidence for the counterintuitive finding that weak, fragmented unions such as those in the UK more readily engage in pro-immigrant action than strong, encompassing unions such as those in Denmark and Germany.
