唉 太被拉
我杂看不懂哪
英语不是中文那么简单啊

这是合同啊！！！！！！！！！！！？？？？？？？？？？？？？坏了，我的英语不行啊

请问楼主：
到目前为止合同已经发玩了吗？
我的航海专业的学生，复制下来慢慢研究．
多谢楼主！！！！！！！！！

我是刚来的新手，感觉在这里受益非浅。不少都是航海界的人才，我会经常来看看的。

知音少，弦断有谁听。楼主说的很有道理，给广大海员应该清醒一点
！
　

楼主的经验值好高啊!!!怎么获得的????

说点重点啊~~`
怎么签才是最理想化的？
一定要结合自己自身的情况，以及对半人未来的影响来决定合同的可行性~

一,中国政府海事部门或劳动部门为规范中国船员劳务市场,保障自由船员的合法权益,拟订一套规范的海员劳务格式合同.
二,中国海员之家网站的某些有特殊社会地位的会员,为中国海员之家拟订一份海员之家会员对外劳务的格式合同,全中国的自由船员联合起来认同,支持这份合同,对雇佣中国海员之家会员的用人单位对合同执行力度进行跟踪落实.
一个是官方考虑江山社稷,主动来实施,一个靠无数的自由船员共同努力,为争取自由船员的合法权益共同维护自己的尊严.
海员之家会不停的呐喊,呼吁,希望那一天早点到来.

香海兄把整个合同发出来，但没有把重要点提出来，一大憾事啊！与主题不符，让人费解！
