Projects April 9, 2020 Trade Unions and Drivers for Safer Roads in Europe The driver’s profession is today more stressful and dangerous than it once was. Fatigue makes it harder for drivers to maintain vigilance, alertness and decision-making capacity in passengers safely to destination. ETF launches Safer Roads project, to raise awareness about driver fatigue and to improve safety on EU roads.
Campaign September 23, 2018 Europe needs a fair #MobilityPackage The Mobility Package is a massive revision of EU legislation on road transport. We are fighting for drivers’ wellbeing and the safety of all road users.
Campaign September 23, 2018 Cross-border cooperation against social dumping Road transport is by nature a cross-border activity. That means we need cross-border cooperation between trade unions to defend drivers’ rights. A joint trade union cooperation office started operating in October 2017 precisely with aim. Trade unions from Belgium, Denmark, Sweden and Romania have agreed to assist unionised Romanian drivers working in these countries.
Campaign September 23, 2018 Enforcing the rules of the road EU legislation covering bus, coach and road freight transport is vast, but poorly enforced. In recent years EU member states have cut up to 75% of their enforcement capacity as part of national austerity programmes. The ETF promotes smart enforcement and we have concrete proposals on it.
Issues September 23, 2018 Automated driving Driverless lorries are on everyone’s mind in road transport. ETF is determined to sure drivers and their working conditions are at the heart of the debates.
Campaign September 22, 2018 Fair Transport for Europe Our campaign for dignity at work. No to social dumping and wage exploitation in transport!
Campaign September 23, 2017 Respect Drivers! Loopholes in EU law fuel the exploitation of professional drivers. They deserve dignity at work.
Projects September 23, 2010 Building union strength for the future of road transport The EU road transport sector is facing multiple transformations. We help unions make sure that political debates include workers’ concerns.
