- Biography/History:
-
The world-wide merchant marine is a crucial source of employment for i-Kiribati and remittances from this work are fundamental to the Republic's economic well-being. The inaugural meeting of the Gilbert and Elice Islands Overseas Seamen's Union was held on 22 Dec. 1971. In January 1976 the organisation changed its name to the Gilbert Islands and Tuvalu Overseas Seamen's Union and then, in 1979, to the Kiribati Islands and Tuvalu Overseas Seamen's Union following the declaration of the independent republic of Kiribati. The name was changed to the Kiribati Islands Overseas Seamen's Union in 1994. There were major changes in leadership in 1994 and again in 1996 when the current leadership was elected.
