Policy

Transport and transport workers are essential to Europe. However, transport work across Europe is too often defined by low wages, long hours and poor and deteriorating working conditions. 

The European Union has failed to correctly respond to the social, economic and political challenges created by liberalisation, deregulation, privatisation, globalisation. These policies have not only led to increased exploitation of European workers but also to the political alienation of European citizens, an alienation that has led to increased support for authoritarian right-wing parties.
