The Unions aren't responsible to anyone? What i'm saying is, this company can't just hire anyone, they have to be in the Union, and in order to get in the Union they are probably already vetted.
And what I'm saying is that these huge maritime companies like P & O hire subsidiaries and sub-contractor type companies from around the world to do much of the work for them. And it's these smaller (foreign) companies who hire their own people, from God-knows-where, and they do their own background checks on these foreign workers without being required to have them vetted by U.S. security. This is what I have heard from a Merchant Marine Captain whose in the field well over twenty years.
(Cpt. Kelley Sweeney, Merch. Marine - Google him if you'd like, he's a very knowledgable source on this topic and has written about it. He's also the editor of a big Merchant Marine publication).
When does a Union do backgrounbd checks?
vetted by uncle louie, maybe...
