European Campaign for Fair Transport
The European Campaign for Fair Transport was launched in Ireland on Monday (18th January) by SIPTU Transport and Aviation Sector activists. The campaign includes a European Citizens’ Initiative petition which calls upon the European Commission to guarantee equal treatment for transport and aviation workers across the EU. SIPTU Utilities and Construction Division Organiser, Owen Reidy, said: “SIPTU as Ireland’s leading transport union is pledging its support to a Citizens Initiative being organised by our European allies in the European Transport Federation (ETF). “More and more legislation affecting transport workers is generated from Ireland’s membership of the EU. It is critical that workers take the opportunity to not only campaign for decent legislation in Ireland but also at EU level. To view the European Campaign for Fair Transport petition click here.
