Last week, aviation week was held at the ETF, where we gathered our members from JAC, GSC and ATM Committees in Brussels for their specific sector meetings, the Civil Aviation Section meeting, and the Civil Aviation Sectoral Social Dialogue.

One month after the ETF’s largest-ever conference dedicated to aviation workers, the Civil Aviation Section (CAS) members approved a statement presenting workers’ critical demands for the sector to move forward after the 2022 summer crisis while recovering after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Belgium’s rail workers are on strike this October 5 to call on the government to invest in rail.

The European Commission's intention to drastically reduce - even ban - bottom-contacting fishing gears is no secret. But the implications of such a decision are often disregarded. The ETF favours more sustainable fisheries, as fishers - the true guardians of the sea - are fully aware that the sustainability of fish stocks and the marine ecosystem is vital in preserving their income and jobs.

A parking lot visit in Madrid confirmed that the Mobility Package rules are still not correctly enforced and implemented and that flexibility in rules is not the answer to driver shortage in freight and passenger road transport.
