国内船员劳务合同纠纷不应适用劳动仲裁前置原则

为有效保护船员的利益、方便船员起诉 ,《海事诉讼特别程序法》尽管赋予船员提起海事请求保全措施的权利 ,并规定了船员劳务合同纠纷案件特殊地域管辖有五个连接点 ,但没有解决国内船员劳务合同纠纷应否适用劳动仲裁前置原则问题。笔者认为 :如强制国内船员劳务合同纠纷的审理适用劳动仲裁前置原则 ,极有可能妨碍船员工资等船舶优先权的行使或拖延其他案件债权的实现。同时 ,随船船员工作流动性大及缺乏固定工会组织等原因 ,又使得强制适用劳动仲裁前置原则缺乏现实基础。因此 ,法律应当明确规定劳动仲裁前置原则不适用于国内船员劳务合同纠纷。

Case of Dispute over the fact that Domestic Crew's Labor Contract should not Be Applicable to the Rule of Labor Arbitration Being First Lodged

In order to validly protect the crew's benefit and to widely provide more opportunities and areas for the crew to file a claim before the court, the Special Procedural Law for Maritime Proceedings (SPL) empowering the crew's right of lodging an application for arrest a ship, in the meanwhile, provides the relevant forum shopping of the dispute. However, the SPL has not yet settled the question whether the case of dispute on domestic crew's labor contract should be applicable to the above Rule or not. The paper holds the view that, if the mentioned Rule shall compulsorily be applicable to the dispute in the trial, it is difficult to carry out the maritime lien involved in crew's salary and other creditor's right in the other cases. Furthermore, in consideration of facts that the crew's work is mobile and the crew does not fix in a labor union, the application to the above Rule may be in absence of the practical purport. In conclusion, the law should definitely provide that the case of dispute on domestic crew's labor contract shall be excluded to apply to the Rule of labor arbitration be first lodged.
