ITF 'weeks of action' continue (9/9)

The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) announced the start of a “week of action enforcing pay safety and social standards on ships in Europe on Monday (Sept. 8) that will actively join and mutually reinforce the dock workers’ protests also taking place at the same time (8 to 12 September). To add further to the cooperation, ITF affiliated road transport union members recently voted to send volunteers to help the port workers.”
