Am sure I read somewhere that maritime workers don't have regular employment rights, EU or otherwise.

They don't but it's complex. Depends on various things including how much time they spend at sea, on land, and where amongst other things EU based maritime workers do have rights but it's pretty difficult to guess who has which rights as it depends on so many factors.

They got rid of British seafarers so they could hire Filipinos and treat them the same as the Indian migrant workers who build Dubai's skyscrapers. If only the British seafarers were protected by EU labour laws.
