#Fight4FairLogistics

The ETF and its trade unions across Europe are united in the #Fight4FairLogistics — a fight against the exploitation of workers in logistics and e-commerce.

While online shopping and logistics companies record soaring profits, workers face a very different reality: low pay, long hours, precarious contracts, bogus self-employment, algorithmic surveillance, and unsafe conditions. As these sectors expand, unfair business models drive a race to the bottom in rights, pay and dignity.

Transport work is central to society. Supply chain disruptions show how essential logistics is, yet companies continue to push down conditions while avoiding their responsibilities through subcontracting and tax avoidance.

What Fair Logistics Means

• Safe conditions and fair pay across the supply chain
• Union recognition, the right to organise and bargain collectively
• Decent working hours, safety protections, and limits on workloads
• Companies accountable for all workers in their subcontracting chains
• Transparency on algorithmic management — with no automation without negotiation
• Governments enforcing labour and social rules, tackling bogus self-employment
• Dignity and respect for all logistics workers

Our Vision

Fair logistics means more than decent jobs — it means companies paying their fair share of tax and social security, respecting labour rights, and taking environmental responsibility seriously.

The ETF and its affiliates will continue to step up action and fight back. United, we demand a logistics sector built on fairness, dignity, and justice for all workers.
