Fair Transport for Europe

Unions and workers together for dignity at work

European transport workers are under attack, facing unfair competition, social dumping and exploitation. The result: job losses, poor working conditions, precarious contracts and low wages.

But another way is possible. Workers across Europe are joining forces. We demand that employers and politicians unleash the power of transport to create millions of quality jobs for Europe. That’s Fair Transport!

Fair Transport Europe is the ETF’s campaign against social dumping in the European transport sector. We are fighting for quality jobs for transport workers and a safe, reliable service for customers. European transport trade unions are standing together to demand an end to unfair competition and exploitation. We’re organising across Europe to show the strength of our movement, building up to an international week of action in March 2019. With the European Elections fast approaching, we expect clear commitments from politicians that they will defend and develop quality work in the transport sector.

Every part of the ETF, including our affiliates across Europe , is participating in the Fair Transport campaign. You’ll find some information and news here, but the full story is on the campaign website.
