The European Transport Workers’ Federation (ETF) has taken a step in advocating for the safety and well-being of civil aviation workers with the launch of its “Get Me Home Safely Campaign” for the Aviation sector. A video on the safety of aviation workers was unveiled during a joint webinar with the Airport Regions Council (ARC), shedding light on the often-overlooked issue of safe commuting for airport employees, especially women. In the next weeks, new videos will be released.

ETF remains dedicated to fighting and promoting gender equality and fully supports its union members’ efforts devoted to gender equality. An ETF Women’s Committee delegation joined the 14 June major women’s equality rally in Switzerland, a traditional event championing for women’s rights.

SNCF’s latest measure is a far cry from the Women in Rail Agreement signed by Social Partners in the rail sector (CER and ETF) back in November, which is binding and aims to attract more women to the rail sector, and improve their working conditions.
