“Most cases involve Peruvian crew members, in combination with local solicitors, who demand alleged arrears well over 100.000 US dollars. One of the latest demands against a Spanish fishing company from a single crewmember totals 462.000 US dollars.”

I wish I had a job where I was owed $462,000 in back-pay !

Seriously, this is such an obvious case of collusion between the fishermen, the union and the authorities to hold the Spanish fleet to ransom.
They should re-locate to South Brasil asap where they should find a little less corruption.
