The crisis caused by COVID-19 is taking a huge toll on the transport workers of Europe. It is demonstrating how essential solidarity is, how crucial trade unions are for supporting and defending workers.

ETF sends solidarity to all transport workers and their unions. We are proud of the work and courage of all those affected by this situation and we will do all we can to ensure that they’re not the ones paying the price.

ETF General Secretary Livia Spera has a message for transport workers around Europe:

You can show your appreciation for and solidarity with the transport workers that keep Europe moving as well! On your right, you can find the posters you can print out, take a photo with and share on social media.

The EC Fair Labour Mobility Package, a step in the right direction

The ETF welcomes the Fair Labour Mobility Package presented yesterday by the European Commission. Mobile and non-EU workers are essential to the fabric of the internal market and the possibility to work in another EU country is an invaluable freedom. However, labour mobility only works in a spirit of fairness and upwards social convergence.
