ETF will be the only organisation representing workers in DTLF

On October 6th and 7th public transport unions from across Central and Eastern Europe met in Poznan for the final regional workshop of the Trade Unions for Better Public Transport project (TU4BPT). Hosted by Polish affiliate OZZKiM, the workshop delivered the final round of training for trade union representatives regarding the Twin Transition in public transport.

On 18 September, the Panhellenic Seamen’s Federation (PNO) and the Federation of Transport, Petroleum and Agriculture Workers (OMEPEGE/FTPAW-SEK) brought trade unions, governments, international institutions and shipowners together in Athens to take stock of two decades of the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) – and, more importantly, to discuss what still needs to change.

The Urban Public Transport Committee’s project on autonomous vehicles in public transport continued last week, with workshops taking place in Slovakia, hosted by OZ KOVO, and the UK, hosted by Unite the Union. Both workshops brought together union reps from across the respective countries to discuss and strategise on the topic of autonomous vehicles.
