***ITF transport action week begins today, 6 October ( Monday)


Hundreds of thousands of transport workers worldwide will join together from Monday as part of an international action week organised by the ITF (International Transport Workers’ Federation). During the action week (6 to 12 October), road transport and railway unions will take action to highlight issues of local and national concern, such as deregulation, outsourcing, promotion of public transport, decent working conditions, safety issues, HIV/AIDS, driver fatigue, enforcement of labour laws. They will stand up for workers’ rights and emphasise the importance of being a member of a union, ITF said in its press release.
This year workers in those sectors will be joined by their docker and seafarer colleagues on 9 October in a day dedicated to the safety of containers, which are handled and transported by drivers, dockers, train staff and seafarers. The week will also include activities around the World Day for Decent Work on 7 October and against the Uber taxi app on 8 Oct.
Among the countries where actions are planned are Australia, Barbados, Belgium, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Canada, Colombia, Congo, Costa Rica, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Guinea Conakry, India, Ivory Coast, Japan, Kenya, Korea, Lithuania, Luxembourg (where a demonstration will be held on 8 October organised by the European Transport Workers’ Federation), Malaysia, Mexico, Niger, Nigeria, Philippines, Russia, Rwanda, Senegal, Spain, Tanzania, Togo, Thailand, The Netherlands, Turkey, Uganda, UK, USA and Zimbabwe.
Mac Urata, ITF inland transport section secretary, commented: “This action week allows transport workers and their national unions to focus on the areas most important to them while speaking with one united, global voice. Deregulation, privatisation and liberalisation have dramatically changed the road and rail industries in recent decades – usually for the worse for transport workers and the travelling public alike. Public transport, for example, is under threat as never before. Together during the action week we will defend these vital services and the jobs, working conditions and rights of those who work in them.”

***ITF 2014 Action Week & WDDW
6 Oct 2014
This week, from the 6-12 October 2014, the International Transport Federation are organising activities for their annual ITF Action Week under the slogan 'Transport workers fighting back! Organising globally!' Throughout the week member unions will be organising a variety of activities to highlight important issues that affect road transport and railway workers, and to emphasise the importance of belonging to a union.
Transport workers all over the world, including railway workers, are experiencing the negative consequences of privatisation,deregulation and liberalisation. New employment forms are emerging which are resulting in increased casualisation and outsourcing of jobs in the transport sector.Global operators employ workers in the same workplace on different wages and conditions,and promote expansion only on profitable routes. Workers and unions are the first to observe the negative consequences of private companies, including a reduction in safety levels due to decreasing maintenance standards and deskilling of jobs.
We believe that strong union power on a global level, involvement in decision making at a national level and cross-border solidarity in the present globalised world are of crucial importance. In today’s conditions of crisis it is more important than ever that trade unionists across the globe stand up for their rights to decent work and a decent life.
Each year the 7 October is designated as the World Day for Decent Work (WDDW), to raise awareness of the vital importance of global trade union solidarity. Various themes have been highlighted by trade unions and organisations during the WDDW since its start in 2008 including discrimination and core labour standards such as the right to bargain collectively and the freedom to organise, laws and agreements issues, health and safety, and social protection.

***La ITF lleva a Gaza su cargamento de ayuda humanitaria
200 sillas de ruedas, 200 adultos y pediatras itinerantes, y 3.000 bolsas de colegio con material para estudiar fueron incluidas en el reparto de Gaza el 29 de septiembre en el tercer cargamento de ayuda humanitaria de la Federación Internacional del Transporte (ITF).
Los suministros fueron comprados por la oficina de la ITF en Amman, Jordania, que está coordinando la labor de socorro y entregado al Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo de la Organización de Caridad Hachemita de Jordania, que se ocupa de la logística y el transporte y proporciona transporte gratuito.

La oficina de la ITF informó que había una gran demanda de peticiones de hospitales de movilidad básica debido a que más de 10.000 personas resultaron heridas en los recientes ataques aéreos militares israelíes, los cuales también dejaron más de 2.000 palestinos muertos y más de 100.000 sin hogar.

El presidente de la ITF, Paddy Crumlin, comentó: “Afortunadamente, la tregua abierta acordada el 26 de agosto se ha mantenido, y esperamos que conduzca a una solución a largo plazo, que respete las fronteras de 1967 entre Israel y un Estado palestino”.

“Sin embargo, la situación en Gaza sigue siendo terrible y los palestinos que viven allí necesitan de toda la ayuda que puedan obtener. Gracias a la generosidad de aquellas organizaciones sindicales que han respondido a nuestra llamada, la ITF ha logrado 197.723 dólares americanos y será posible entregar el tercer barco de ayuda humanitaria”.

La ITF solicita a todas las personas que participen en esta campaña que no olviden enviar un mensaje  ITFglobalunion en Facebook, o que las envíen al twitter haciendo mención a @itfglobal utilizando también el hastang #DHLDelhi4.
