e-commerce

Recently, Danish union 3F Transport secured a collective bargaining agreement for nemlig.com's workers. The ETF caught up with Jan Villadsen, Chairman of 3F Transport and ETF Vice-President to discuss their recent win.

Unions are ready to negotiate, but are e-commerce companies ready? This year’s best Black Friday deal would be one where e-commerce companies sit down and talk to unions about providing dignity at work for the millions of warehouse and delivery workers working around the clock this 25 November.

As unions, we committed to working together to develop a European strategy to fight against the spread of unfair labour practices and business models in logistics and e-commerce across all transport sectors.

As multi-national logistics and e-commerce companies operate across international borders – spreading their exploitative practices, the necessary response from workers is clear: we must unite as a European trade union movement to fight back. ETF remains at the front; fighting back for fair transport!

ETF backs European week of action demanding the online retail sector tackle abusive practices in the delivery sector; ending the bogus self-employment, precarious working conditions and low pay that drivers face across Europe.
