3 ITF report to congress on activities A message from the acting general secretary Dear colleagues In this report you will read an overview of how together ITF unions have delivered wins for transport workers. You set some important challenges at the Mexico City congress in The Organising globally fighting for workers rights programme meant we evolved our industrial strategies to take on multinationals along the supply chain and in logistics. We actively promoted and defended public transport and continued to put precarious workers, women and young workers at the centre of our strategies. Together we have developed new ways of working to respond to fundamental changes in the transport industry. With you, we continued our bread and butter work and co-ordinated solidarity support to combat human and trade union rights abuses. Together we looked at strategic locations and co-ordinated industrial sector networks, training and organising projects to boost worker power. Now it s time to look forward. We know the global economy would not function without the transport industry and its workers. We know that our real employers are not always transport employers or governments but the multinationals who call the tune. At the same time we understand that social movements are fighting for political alternatives for a more just world for all workers and that whilst union membership is declining, transport unions have survived. Congress 2014 is your time to debate, analyse and set the direction for the next four years. To do this, we need to anticipate the challenges ITF unions will face. Taking a look at the challenges the transport industry will face from which companies will be the leading multinationals, which technological shifts we will contend with and what transport infrastructure investment will look like is key to this work, as is looking at where we need to be strong, and how we can use our power. In Sofia 2014, let s celebrate the ITF s successes and look at how we can continue to come together to win for all transport workers and their families. I d like to convey an enormous thank you to all ITF staff. The ITF is its unions - supported by a committed and hard-working staff. And of course, heartfelt thanks to David Cockroft, who so ably led the ITF until his retirement from the helm in His contribution will not be forgotten. In solidarity Steve Cotton Acting general secretary

4 An affiliate s view Transport workers in Turkey have faced aggression and abuse of their rights over but have defeated the employers unfair rules and unjust attacks with the support of the ITF and with global workers solidarity. Our struggle became visible globally with ITF s leading support and the union s solidarity campaigns put the pressure on companies managements. As a result, our union Tümtis built the strength and authority to break new ground at logistics in Turkey within our trade union movement to campaign for the guarantee of workers rights, says ITF-affiliated road transport workers union TÜMTIS (Tüm Tasima Isçileri Sendikasi). TÜMTIS general president Kenan Ozturk continues: Support and solidarity from the ITF and its affiliates has been a very important example - both for organising at global logistics and cargo companies in Turkey and for transport workers. Unionisation in logistics was at zero point in Turkey before our organising campaign that we worked on with the ITF. Transport workers won their union rights for the first time in this campaign. ITF did not leave us alone not even for a moment. We have strengthened and showed resistance together. We won significant success with this power and unionisation at two global logistics companies - so that was real hope for transport workers who have worked without a union and precariously. I thank you very much on behalf of UPS and DHL workers in Turkey. Long live class struggle! Olgun Ballıkaya, a UPS worker says: We have lived and learned from ITF particularly in two steps in a period of struggle. First of all ITF committee members visited our picket line. From our point of view, very important morale-boosting came with the visits from unionists from all over the world. They showed their solidarity, not only by visiting us but also met our families: they came to our homes. That gave us moral support. Secondly, ITF unions made a decision to take strike action at locals and built a global action day. Thank you to ITF unions for your solidarity on behalf of UPS workers. Sener Yucel, a DHL worker adds: There was a big support from ITF for our strike. ITF unions called a global action day in several countries at the same time and the whole world found out about our bad working conditions at DHL Supply Chain Turkey. The ITF undertook several support projects and introduced us to the ver.di union, which organises at DHL in Germany. They held meetings in their country with DHL management to draw attention to our working conditions. One of our friends went to Germany to explain our request for decent working conditions. ITF showed us that fighting together, wins together. 4

5 ITF report to congress on activities Chapter 1: An introduction to the ITF s programme We are determined to make this a better world for transport workers. This is going to be a period of great activity on behalf of our members in the international working class. It is not an individual challenge, it is a challenge for all of us. Paddy Crumlin, ITF president 1. Over the period since the Mexico City congress in 2010 the ITF delivered on the congress objectives of strong unions, sustainable transport. It continued to support the organising work of its affiliated unions around the world by co-ordinating activities to help them recruit members and increase their power and influence to protect and enhance workers rights. 5

6 Chapter 1: An introduction to the ITF s programme The Mexico City congress decisions required the ITF to do this in three key areas: building strong unions and organising globally, fighting for union rights and labour standards, and campaigning for sustainable transport. This introduction provides highlights across the work programme. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 deal with cross-sectional, industrial and regional issues respectively, whilst the Appendix to this report presents a tabulated view of how the congress decisions have been implemented. Over , ITF unions have built strong unions and have organised 3. The ITF planned its Global delivery and logistics programme (see paras 28-37) to deliver increased workers power throughout the global networks multinationals in the global delivery sector, as part of the wider logistics and freight transport industry. It executed co-operation with UNI Post and Logistics. As a result of the programme, thousands of workers have been organised in market leaders UPS and DHL, in key countries including Turkey, India and Germany. The ITF affiliate in Turkey, TUMTIS, was recognised for DHL Supply Chain employees in Turkey and built on existing organising work by achieving two successive collective bargaining agreements in UPS, with over 2,000 members covered in each company. A dedicated organising project in UPS Cologne, Germany, won a victory with an increase of 20 percent of union members. 4. The Ports of convenience programme (paras ) completed in 2013 aimed to establish decent, ITF-acceptable labour and safety standards and strong union organisation in ports and terminals around the world. Key achievements of the programme were the completion of a UK/Ireland POC campaign, the Baltic POC campaign and four organising projects with specific affiliated unions resulting in union recognition and collective bargaining agreements at port terminal operations. Particular successes were the recruitment of 4,540 new union members, the creation of nine new unions/union committees, the emergence of scores of new union activists, five union recognition agreements and five collective bargaining agreements (CBAs). 5. The LATAM aviation organising programme (paras ) established new unions and bargaining agreements in the airline LATAM across Argentina, Peru, Paraguay, Colombia, Ecuador as well as the formation of an active network of 16,808 members in 25 unions and five federations in seven Latin American countries, plus Australia and Spain. This represented significant growth from a base of only 3,411 unionised workers at the beginning of the project in In 2011, the Arab World transport trade union development programme was launched to provide a strategic response for unions in the Arab World at a time of political transformation. Key successes of the programme were the establishment of dynamic national and regional youth committees, the reactivation of the regional women s network, and building active regional ports and aviation networks. It achieved capacity building, training of trainers and organising seminars for unions in Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Palestine and Iraq. Particular successes included the building of 14 new independent unions that affiliated to the ITF (Egypt, Libya, Kuwait and Yemen), together with increased union recognition, more collective bargaining agreements and better workers mobilisation In the northern corridor of East Africa, (para 166) cross-border organising and recruitment over the period delivered over 3,570 members, using HIV/AIDS and the wellness centres along the corridor as organising tools. The ITF also ran an education project in Mozambique and Angola funded by SASK (Trade Union Solidarity Centre of Finland), focused on strengthening organising and bargaining skills of ITF unions. Led by the ITF Africa office with Portuguese language support from ITF Americas, unions on the ground recruited 4,954 new members between 2012 and 2013, with 20 new CBAs signed. These new agreements included clauses on working conditions ranging from gender and HIV policies in the workplace to medical, social security and employee transport provisions.

7 ITF report to congress on activities Over the period , ITF unions have fought for labour standards and they have improved working conditions 8. A major highlight of the ITF s and others achievements was the coming into force in August 2013 of the groundbreaking Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006, para 180) the seafarers bill of rights. It establishes an international minimum standard with the power to make a real difference to seafarers. The ITF supported its launch with a range of materials, including a dedicated web area, to help seafarers understand and apply the convention these are at The ITF is now intent on supporting its effective implementation and ensuring that even more countries ratify it. 9. Over the period, the ITF continued working with the IUF (International Foodworkers Union) on their joint Catcher to counter campaign to combat illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing and to increase union power for all workers along the fisheries supply chain, from those at sea to those serving at the fish counter (see para ). Central to the campaign, launched in 2011, were the twin goals of increased union representation across the fishing industry and ratification of ILO (International Labour Organization) 188. This involved extensive field research and workshops in Chile, Egypt, Norway, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Spain and the Philippines. Seventeen ITF maritime inspectors were trained to support the initiative. In Papua New Guinea organising efforts reaped thousands of new members for ITF affiliate PNGMTWU (Papua New Guinea Maritime Workers Industrial Union), strengthening the union s influence and helping it progress towards recognition and CBAs in five identified companies. ITF unions have worked with stakeholders to successfully deliver their programmes ITF unions have built capacity 10. The ITF designed its anti-piracy programme to reflect the changing tactics of pirates and an increasing military involvement. A key achievement of this programme was its ability to maintain positive stakeholder relationships; joint industry position papers were prepared and good relations maintained with the various ship owner organisations who then implemented agreed best practice policies. The Maritime piracy humanitarian response programme, supported by this work, evolved into an independent entity. Sustained press coverage was achieved over the course of the programme in the international media. The programme created a greater political will to tackle piracy (see para 179). 11. In 2013, based on the Mexico congress work programme, the ITF signed a memorandum of understanding with the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) see para 145, backing the expansion of public transport as a key driver of sustainable growth, key jobs and environmental protection. The two organisations agreed to work together to develop recommendations on vocational training and staff security. They will also tackle informal employment in public transport. 12. The ITF s programme for roll-out of the Mexico City flag of convenience policy over the four-year period involved review work and a comprehensive education programme. Key achievements over the period were that the programme provided assistance and support for agreement signatory unions and it developed and implemented communication and education strategies involving key union leaders, experienced ITF inspectors, regional educators and the ITF maritime operations team. An inspectorate review was completed. Union-building took place via the maritime roundtable in 2012 which involved a new generation of union activists. Over the period, FOC agreements increased and member unions improved and increased their communications with seafarers (see para 187) 7

8 Chapter 1: An introduction to the ITF s programme ITF unions have fought for rights 13. In 2013, the ITF initiated a new global education project in collaboration with the Global Labour Institute (GLI) to organise and represent informal workers by improving the capacity of affiliates to promote decent work. The project appointed five mentor unions experienced in organising and collective bargaining for informal transport workers and with the capacity to provide support, advice and training. The mentor unions helped organisers, activists and elected union representatives particularly women and young activists in regional affiliates to organise and develop collective bargaining power. 14. The ITF continued to develop an organising facility for truck drivers in Palestine, where hundreds were organised. Women s membership of the General Union of Transport Workers increased by 20 percent and their participation rose by 30 percent, with women making up most of the membership of the union s new youth department. In November 2012, the ITF helped organise an ITUC (International Trade Union Confederation) solidarity mission to Gaza. Political changes in Gaza led to a project to support leaders of the Gaza Bus Drivers Union (BDU) and the General Union of Transport Workers. ITF financial support to the BDU enabled a new office to be built that was to be fully operational before the end of The vital importance of forging, strengthening and building capacity through alliances gets ever clearer to the ITF and its affiliated unions. The ITF is now involved in more cross-sector, collaborative working with other global unions than ever before and together the GUFs (global union federations) are working to increase capacity. In the ITF has engaged with the ITUC and other global unions to deploy joint resources working on capital strategies. Mapping workers capital investments - via pension schemes is a priority of this project with the aim of promoting long-term investments that create decent employment in the transport sector. 16. In response to the increase in reported incidents of violent attacks on women workers, the ITF and its affiliates led campaigning to stop violence against women (para 43) in workplaces and communities. They extended their campaigns both in the community and to other unions, and promoted the annual UN Day for the elimination of violence against women. The ITF Action guide on violence against women, which includes information, contacts and case studies to help unions protect women in work, at home and in their communities, was launched in Over the period, considerable amounts of the ITF s resources have been channelled into assisting union disputes and conflicts, many of which stem from abuses of human and trade union rights. The ITF has organised campaigns and activities opposing anti-union legislation in Turkey, fighting trade union rights abuses in Korea, demanding government actions over murders in the Philippines, campaigning for the freedom of imprisoned trade unionists in Morocco, fighting for the reinstatement of railway activists in Thailand, as well as exposing violence in Honduras, campaigning for union justice in Iran, and supporting Japanese affiliates rights during restructuring. Complaints to the International Labour Organization s committee on freedom of association have been made or supported in the cases of Turkey, Thailand, Iran and Japan. The ITF has also supported the ETF s ongoing challenge to the outcomes of the European Court of Justice rulings on Viking, Laval, Rüffert and Luxembourg to reinforce in European law the principle that fundamental trade union rights prevail over economic freedoms. 8

9 ITF report to congress on activities Over , ITF unions have campaigned for sustainable transport ITF unions have prepared for the future 18. Following the pre-congress conference in 2010, a climate change working group was set up and active networking with affiliates developed. An initial study on jobs impact has been completed, and work with global unions has continued in annual COP climate change talks, as well as at Rio +20. Factsheets were developed as materials for unions, and regional education seminars were implemented in Africa, Latin America, Asia, the Pacific and Caribbean. A pilot online education course on climate change completed for educators, an ITF climate change blog was developed to provide new information and analysis and national seminars were held in target countries. 19. Public transport is key to any sustainable economy. The ITF s Quality public services (QPS) work programme aimed to support ITF affiliates fighting against public service cuts, promote campaigns in all modes of public transport and link the ITF with the GUFs Quality public services campaign. It aimed to build a passenger transport global company network, develop global organising campaigns in a key company, plan activities in two global city QPS campaigns, build alliances and promote sustainable transport. Key achievements of the Quality public services project included the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the ITF and the International Association of Public Transport (UITP); increased participation of urban transport unions in ITF activities and the development of strategies and joint union activities on multinational companies such as FirstGroup, National Express and Veolia/Transdev. (see paras ). 20. Over the period, ITF unions have been looking at areas where new union membership can be built and strengthened. A significant new work direction supply chain organising was initiated in It followed the mandate of the executive board meeting in October 2012 and became the next phase of the ITF s organising globally strategy, which aims to respond to the logistics revolution that saw a new breed of transport firm cut across traditional boundaries. It builds upon the well-established Global delivery and Ports of convenience campaigns and has as a key strength close relations with other global unions in supply chains. 21. ITF unions have also planned and participated in visits and missions to key countries that have previously been outside the ITF family. Relations with key unions in Cuba were strengthened following visits in In April 2014, the ITF signed a memorandum of understanding with the All China Federation of Trade Unions committing both organisations to a process of dialogue and information sharing. 22. This is a small selection of highlights of the ITF s activities, which are expanded on in the subsequent pages of this report; however it can be seen that the last four years has been a period of intensive work during which the ITF has indeed delivered on its three objectives of building strong unions and organising globally, fighting for union rights and labour standards, and campaigning for sustainable transport. 9

10 Chapter 2: Working across the transport industries 10

11 ITF report to congress on activities The global journey of a fish Today goods are transported much longer distances via a wider variety of transport. A fish caught on a trawler in the waters of Namibia will be landed by dockers at Walvis Bay, be transported by truck across the Kalahari desert to Johannesburg and loaded by ground handlers, be air freighted to Zaragoza in Spain, sorted in the on-site warehouse, and finally transported to a Spanish supermarket by truck. By the time the fish reaches the supermarket shelf in Spain, it will have been handled by seven different groups of transport workers, across five different transport modes. 23. Supply chain organising was being developed in 2013 by the new department supply chains and logistics organising projects. With supply chains, the ITF began to focus outside the transport sector to target the lead firms who have the most power in global supply chains, such as Boeing, Walmart or IKEA. 24. To help build awareness among unions the ITF hosted a unique two-day supply chain and logistics symposium in November Delegates organising in strategic locations, logistics industry specialists and academics examined the state of the industry, the impact on labour of supply chains, and national and global union responses to the logistics revolution. 25. Several projects were underway in Aeronautical supply chains involve unions in production, logistics, maintenance and customers the airlines. ITF unions are working with IndustriALL s manufacturing affiliates to identify the lead firms most able to raise industry standards for example, aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing, or important suppliers such as Rolls Royce. Oil and gas supply chains involve ITF and IndustriALL unions along the journey of crude oil to petrol and aviation fuel, and identify potential organising targets for strengthening workers power with the lead firms. It builds on the high quality work of the ITF offshore task group. 26. Following the success of the campaign in Australia, which won new legislation to improve conditions for truck drivers serving the retail sector (see para 158), the ITF began to explore with UNI Global Union, representing retail unions, global strategies to pressurise retail firms to take responsibility for their transport operations. Catcher to counter is a joint ITF and International Union of Food Workers (IUF) programme on the fish supply chain (see paras ). It seeks to address the lack of regulation and union activity and the rise in illegal fishing that blight the sector, by addressing the industry as a whole. 27. A supply chain strongly depends on relationships between manufacturers, suppliers, transportation providers and end-users such as retail companies. These relationships offer new opportunities for transport unions to use tools including compliance requirements; national and international contract legislation, corporate reputation and capital relationships, alongside traditional union solidarity for disputes. Our movement is gearing up and getting ready. Building relationships between our affiliates from the different transport sectors and indeed with unions in other sectors at national and international level is vital if we re to strengthen worker power along supply chains. We want to deliver a strong message to the global players who we know are not always transport employers. That message is: don't mess with us. Ingo Marowsky, global head, ITF supply chain and logistics organising projects team Organising in global delivery and logistics companies 28. Major logistics firms such as DHL, UPS, FedEx, Geopost and TNT are a key focus of the cross-sectional work. The ITF s work continued to be led by the office for organising globally co-ordination and delivered with UNI Post & Logistics through a global delivery network which meets annually and connects activists along company lines. ITF and UNI began to develop a web of alliances to build union power across the supply chains, with IndustriALL, and the IUF. Network blogs, news and global delivery briefings can be read online. 11

12 Chapter 2: Working across the transport industries Spotlight on DHL 29. The global delivery giant Deutsche Post DHL Group (DP DHL) took up significant ITF time, with campaigns focused on many different parts of the multinational s operations, particularly in Turkey, India and Norway. Much of this work was carried out with the ITUC and UNI Global Union, and included trade unionists around the world demanding decent work for all DP DHL workers, in Norwegian activist reinstated after solidarity campaign 30. Monica Okpe, a prominent Norwegian trade unionist unfairly sacked by DHL, won back her job at DHL s Ulven terminal near Oslo in March 2012, when a 10-month struggle supported by the ITF and its affiliates ended in a resounding court victory. Throughout her ordeal, Ms Okpe s union Norsk Transportarbeiderforbund defended her. An international action day was held for her as part of the ITF International road transport action week in Solidarity helps victory DHL Turkey unionists 31. For 30 months, the ITF and its affiliates rallied to support 30 members of the Turkish affiliate TÜMTIS who had been dismissed by DHL Turkey on what the ITF believed to be a series of trumped-up allegations. As TUMTIS supported its members through the Turkish legal system, the ITF repeatedly pressed DP DHL to facilitate talks between its subsidiary and the union. 12

13 ITF report to congress on activities 32. In 2012, the ITF released the findings of an independent investigation into the sackings, Aggressive and unlawful: a report into Deutsche Post DHL operations in Turkey, commissioned by the ITF and UNI, can be found online. 33. Hundreds of unions from over 30 countries organised demonstrations, rallies, petitions and postcard campaigns as part of the ITF s Respect at DHL day on 12 December 2012 in solidarity with TUMTIS struggle for union recognition, free from interference and intimidation. And there was massive support for the global DHL Families day in March 2013, with key events in London and Istanbul and actions around the world targeting local DHL management and major DP DHL shareholders, the German and Norwegian governments. 34. Many affiliates organised solidarity visits to the picket lines during the campaign. By the end of 2012, Turkish courts ruled in favour of all the workers who appealed against their dismissal and stated that four of the sackings were linked directly to union activity rulings the company ignored. 35. The ITF and UNI made a complaint to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in November that year over concerns that DHL in a number of countries had denied workers the right to freely join or organise trade unions. The complaint resulted in Germany s national contact point (NCP) for the OECD guidelines accepting in June 2013 the case in relation to five crucial countries. This kicked off the mediation process, which achieved some significant results, including a major victory for TUMTIS, when it finally secured recognition from DHL as the lawful union of choice for DHL Turkey Supply Chain staff in October In April 2014, a collective agreement was signed. To find out more about the DHL Turkey campaign, visit the online pages. DHL alliance in India 36. In 2012, DHL union leaders and grassroots activists set up a new All India Employees Co-ordination Council, which united over 1,000 directly-employed DHL workers, as well as sub-contracted and agency workers from across India. It provided a stronger union voice and offered management a one-stop union contact point. The ITF assisted council member unions to develop an organising strategy for DHL India. Progress was reviewed at the first council meeting in July 2012, after which ITF and DHL union representatives met with DHL management to raise the workers concerns. They pressed the managers on the transfer in 2004 of six DHL employees from their hometowns of Kolkata (to Delhi) and Chennai (to Ahmedabad) as punishment for union involvement. As a result, some of the workers were transferred home. Since then, organising training in India has continued, engaging more locations. DHL: take responsibility! 37. The ITF and its affiliates used the DHL annual general meetings (AGMs) in Frankfurt in 2012 and 2013 to raise awareness of their concerns with shareholders and the media. In 2012, the ITF and UNI launched a joint expose of the company and revealed how its widespread rights violations directly contradicted its own corporate responsibility policies and its commitment to the principles of the United Nations global compact, which the company had signed in The report Corporate irresponsibility: Deutsche Post-DHL s global labour practices exposed revealed abuse of freedom of association rights and use of poorly paid agency workers. It outlined how in Colombia, Costa Rica and South Africa, the company had forced workers to submit to lie detector tests, and in countries including the US, it had flouted health and safety regulations. The report can be found at. The mediation following the OECD complaint put DHL s industrial relations with Indian and Colombian unions under the spotlight and opened up the way for collective bargaining for the company s Indonesian union. 13

14 Chapter 2: Working across the transport industries Women transport workers 38. The ITF women transport workers department concentrated on two main priorities: working with affiliates to strengthen their gender work, and ensuring that gender was central to all of ITF s strategic and campaigning work. The Making a difference - women transport workers in the 21st century work programme drove this activity, to organise for women s workplace rights through strengthening collective bargaining, challenging gender segregation and fighting exploitation and discrimination. 39. Over the period, women workers were targeted at all stages of organising campaigns from research, mapping and identifying concerns through to campaign planning, implementation and monitoring. Mapping in 2011 of the global delivery supply chain in four case study countries India, Turkey, Peru and Jordan showed a workforce which was 25 percent female, with women as 26 percent of key contacts in the ITF organising network. 40. The women s department participated in the ITF informal transport workers project and it helped to identify and train women leaders, activists and organisers to lead affiliate organising and recognition campaigns. Many of those trained contributed to industrial successes in fisheries, global delivery, ports of convenience and civil aviation campaigns. The Global telesales organising project ( ) with the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union (SATAWU) in South Africa led to the unionisation of young migrant workers, and two women organisers led the Air Vanuatu organising project. The ITF gender checklist was developed by the women s committee to help the ITF integrate and evaluate global organising initiatives from a gender perspective. It monitors the organisation s mapping and targeting of women workers. Leadership isn t necessarily about being at the top of your union, you can be an effective leader at any level if you have the skills and the motivation. Some of the women here are general secretaries, some are just starting out in the movement, but what they have in common is the desire to lead and develop their unions to become stronger. Alison McGarry, ITF women s transport workers co-ordinator, at ITF leadership and development training 41. The ITF Women s leadership programme, Leading change, was set up in 2011 to develop leadership and strategic skills for women and strengthen their role in organising and the international trade union movement. During its first phase, 92 women participated in two global conferences on women s strategic leadership and organising. Assisted by Dr Elaine Bernard of the Harvard trade union programme, the 2011 conference was sponsored by the Seafarers International Union (SIU) and focused on the maritime sections, while the 2012 one included sisters from all sections and regions. The start of the second phase saw tailored training programmes delivered in in India, Africa and the Caribbean regions, the civil aviation section and for ITF women inspectors. The Leading change film is available at Fighting gender discrimination and violence 42. The ITF continued to champion International women s day. Affiliates increased their activities with communities and governments. In 2013, the department s Strong unions need women materials were supplied to over 80 affiliates. 43. In response to the increase in reported incidents of violent attacks on women workers, the ITF and its affiliates led campaigning to stop violence against women in workplaces and communities. They extended their campaigns both in the community and to other unions, and promoted the annual UN Day for the elimination of violence against women. The ITF Action guide on violence against women, which includes information, contacts and case studies to help unions protect women in work, at home and in their communities, was launched in The ITF contributed to a 90-strong ITUC delegation of trade union women at the UN commission on the status of women s 57th session in The agreed conclusions included calls for action by states and unions; the delegation s statement can be read at 14

15 ITF report to congress on activities Women in the regions 45. The ITF regional women transport workers conferences in 2013 made recommendations for the ITF 2014 women transport workers conference. Increased support for gender work from both leaders and members of unions saw significantly higher numbers of active women participants in the 2013 ITF regional conferences. 46. In January 2014 a worldwide ITF women s conference was organised in New Delhi. Over 274 women transport workers from 84 countries attended. During the two-day event, they examined issues facing women workers to determine ITF strategy for the next four years. This major event recognised the increasing numbers of women working in the transport sector and in trade unions, and the problems faced by them from austerity to the denial of women s and workers rights, and the daily threat of violence. 47. Across all ITF regions there was significant progress in involving women in unions at all levels and across all activities. In Africa, women s attendance across 17 regional events in rose to 32 percent, a strong regional women s committee was developing and there was improved cross-sector co-ordination to help recruit and strengthen weaker unions. Women led lobbying for sustainable transport, sexual harassment and HIV/AIDS policies at work and were members of union negotiating teams. Affiliates participated in all international and regional ITF women s strategic leadership programme activities. 48. Women trade unionists were central to the struggles and changes taking place across the Arab World. New and revived trade union organisations brought real improvements for many women, but some trade unions still do not recognise women s rights and sexual harassment is a rising threat. In 2011, a women s organiser was appointed to the ITF regional office to lead women s events across the region. She soon achieved an increase in women s membership to 12 percent of all members and a rise in women s participation rate in ITF events to 35 percent in She also helped to develop the 250-strong Egyptian women s network in 2012, which had already seen results: 150 women took part in ITF training and new trade unions in Egypt set a target of 30 percent women on their councils. 49. There are growing numbers of women workers in the Asia Pacific region but most are in part-time and temporary jobs, with an estimated 85 percent in South Asia in unstable, low-end work in the informal economy. They experience harassment by managers, co-workers and passengers, a lack of sanitary facilities and rest rooms, and a shortage of night-time transport for those working shifts. The ITF worked to boost women s participation in union activities and their visibility at decision-making levels in the region. More women leaders participated in regional and international activities. Those who attended the first two ITF leadership seminars went on to jointly plan, prepare and deliver aspects of the Asia Pacific women dockers seminar in January Latin America and the Caribbean saw more women working, joining unions and taking on leadership: at the end of 2013, 11 percent of the 449,332 affiliate members were women. There was new union organisation in civil aviation, and thriving ITF women s networks established with the support of the regional office. In many countries, unions made progress for women workers in legal and workplace agreements and rights to improved conditions. 51. The ITF s European arm, the European Transport Workers Federation (ETF), leads women s work in Europe. The ITF contributed to ETF activities, participated in workplace visits in Turkey and Macedonia and supported the launch of the ETF s gender training package in co-operation with the Federation of Transport and Trade Unions in Bulgaria (FTTUB) and German political foundation Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES). The ETF women s committee supported a German-speaking women railway workers network meeting in 2012 and developed a training package to encourage affiliates to recruit women and promote gender equality. Women in the industrial sectors 52. Across all ITF sections there was significant progress in involving women in unions at all levels and across all activities. Two examples are highlighted here. 53. In road transport, the role of women is changing and widening significant numbers of women are working in the new jobs offered in the supply chain and more women are working in operational transport jobs. However the challenge to achieve improving industry standards and opportunities for women workers continues. 15

16 Chapter 2: Working across the transport industries 54. Research and mapping of the urban bus industry during by the team of women members in the inland transport section (set up in 2009) highlighted women s workplace issues, union membership levels and organising strategies. In 2013, it produced Women bus workers driving to equality, an international best practice guide. This shares strategies to encourage more women to be bus drivers; union campaigns to address women s workplace issues; and union initiatives to organise and mobilise women bus workers.

The maritime sections established in 2010 a cross-sectional team of women s committee representatives and staff to support the women s department to plan and implement specific maritime activities across the sections a successful model the women s department will use with other ITF sections. ITF women s network 56. The ITF women s department began remapping its affiliates women s networks in 2013 to identify active ones to contribute to its work and share best practice. It also began producing network development materials for regional and national network coordinators. It upgraded the women transport workers website and developed a Facebook presence in It produced several tools to support ITF women transport workers organising and campaigns, including an updated Making unions stronger pack (2010) and Maritime women s best practice guide, which can be found online. 57. Research commissioned by the department included a report by Leeds University on the effects of the economic crisis on women transport workers (2012) and Mapping women in transport (2011), which includes data for target companies and countries. 58. The percentage of women participating in education events was 31 percent and at least 30 percent in young worker events. Women accounted for over 50 percent in other events, including Caribbean workshops on collective bargaining, Mozambique/Angola capacity building and training of trainers in the Asia Pacific region. 16

18 Chapter 2: Working across the transport industries Young transport workers Some people assume, because we are young, that we don't have as much to contribute, but many young workers around the world are taking on amazing fights, and winning! More important than the stories they share, however, are the solutions they bring to help their international brothers and sisters. It never fails to inspire me. Travis Harrison, Canadian Auto Workers (now UNIFOR), co-chair of the ITF young transport workers conference, September The young transport workers committee, which developed out of the first inter-congress young transport workers conference in 2012, was involved in core ITF activity and its chairs attended all meetings of the executive board. They successfully bid for resources to trial support for secondments and in 2014 secondees from ITF affiliates had started to support the secretariat. 18

19 ITF report to congress on activities Growth of the young transport workers network 60. Much work focused on growing the young transport workers network. Initial mapping data gave a scattered picture and the exercise will continue beyond congress 2014, with all ITF affiliates being urged to contribute. However, a new dedicated website provides details about the work, an introduction to the committee, and a number of useful resources. It is supported by a strong Facebook presence. Find more information at and at ITF young transport workers on Facebook. 61. The network grew from 200 in May 2010 to nearly 650 in January 2014, including 220 women. The network has most members in Europe (48 percent) and fewest in the Arab World (4 percent), although growth there is most rapid. The evidence of the past four years is that the best way to recruit new members to the network is through events that bring young activists together to discuss industrial matters and develop organising and campaigning strategies. Some regional conferences in 2013 hosted special events for young transport workers, in Amman (Jordan), Zagreb (Croatia) and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). Campaigning, organising and building stronger unions 62. Around 120 young delegates took part in the inter-congress young transport workers conference in Montreal, Canada engaging in debates, studying live campaigns and projects to see how they could best fit with industrial work, and drafting action plans on the economy, the environment, precarious work and union-building. Their social media skills were strongly in evidence. 63. The week-long summer school programme provided an opportunity for more in-depth work. The curriculum covered strategies to challenge the impact on employment practices of policies such as privatisation, sub-contracting and outsourcing. It also included organising, strategic campaigning and networking. 36 workers from 25 countries attended the first summer school for young transport workers in Madrid, Spain in October 2012, while 40 participants from 24 countries attended the second, in June 2013 near Washington DC, United States. 64. Industrial work was strongly developed in the dockers section (see para 140) and became a blueprint for other sections. Young workers and climate change 65. A variety of training events for young activists on transport and climate change took place in all the ITF regions between 2011 and Young workers participated in a seminar in Johannesburg, South Africa in October 2013 on climate change and shared experiences of promoting the issue in their unions. The same year, young workers from South and South East Asia met and discussed the impact of climate change. They talked about the regulation of transport emissions and pollution and looked at a case study on the dumping of hazardous waste in Indian ports. The ITF also ran a five-week online course on climate change including young activists who had attended the young worker summer schools in 2011 and On the inter-governmental level, committee members participated in both the ITF s 27-strong delegation to COP17 in Durban, South Africa, which was involved in the alternative people s COP and the civil society demonstration; and in the 10-strong ITF delegation to Rio+20 in June 2012; see more below.

20 Chapter 2: Working across the transport industries Fighting for sustainable transport For the ITF climate justice means: Reduce the movement of goods and people Shift to lower-carbon modes of transport Improve the energy efficiency of transport modes and vehicle and ship technology 66. At the 2010 congress, the ITF and its affiliates committed themselves to working together, and with other international actors, to analyse what transformations were needed in the transport industry to make the shift to a low-carbon, sustainable transport system. Since then, they have worked towards achieving rigorous environmental standards based on secure jobs, good wages and decent working conditions. Activity included participation at the Global day of action against climate change in Durban in 2011 and at Rio+20. In total, 412 delegates from 140 unions attended the climate change conference; 190 participants a quarter of them women took part in education activities; and attendance grew at international climate change events such as COP 17 and Rio+20. The ITF s working group on climate change in Johannesburg in late 2013 attracted 20 participants from 14 countries to assess activities since 2010 and discuss future priorities. Reaching out through networks and seminars 67. The ITF organised national climate change conferences and seminars in Thailand, Uganda, Mauritius, Buenos Aires, Durban and the Pacific. In 2013, 22 participants from eight affiliates in Thailand came together for the Bangkok seminar. They discussed with government representatives the government s climate change and sustainable transport plan, and the vital role of the transport sector in achieving the capital s aims to become a low carbon city. 68. Unions in the Caribbean formed a climate change network during an ITF seminar in Barbados in 2012, which was attended by 30 unionists from the region. The aim of the network was to help them exchange information, access education and training resources and build campaigns around the challenges created by climate change. 69. The ITF s first Pacific region workshop on climate change was held in Kiribati, an island nation of 33 low-lying atolls, in It secured a pledge from the national government to work more collaboratively with seafarers unions to tackle the effects of global warming. The seminar was attended by seafarers from the ITF-affiliated Kiribati Islands Overseas Seafarers Union (KIOSU), the Fiji Maritime Workers Association and the Tuvalu Overseas Seafarers Union. 70. The ITF was involved in the International Federation of Workers' Education Associations (IFWEA) online labour academy and in 2012 and 2013 participated in the pilot, with a successful course on climate change and transport workers. In total, 15 unions participated. The ITF also produced a range of education materials, including 24 fact sheets covering a wide range of issues for trade union educators and activists to raise awareness and discussion with members, and a briefing paper on gender and climate change. These are downloadable online. 71. Working closely with the ITF, the ETF implemented a climate change project funded by the commission called Transunion: transport workers preparing change for a fair and sustainable transport sector (see para 314). 20

21 ITF report to congress on activities Rio+20 and the Trade union assembly on labour and environment 72. Ahead of the United Nations conference on sustainable development (Rio+20) in June 2012, ITF delegates from Latin America, Europe and Africa travelled to Rio to attend a special Trade union assembly on labour and environment. With the ITUC, they adopted an ambitious statement, calling on government and business interests to take tough decisions, while also acknowledging the responsibility of the trade union movement to fight for an alternative development model for our societies, grounded on people s needs, on solidarity, on economic democracy and on a fair distribution of wealth. The statement can be read in full at _tc_rev.pdf. ITF sections and sustainability 73. The dockers section concentrated on ship emissions; green, sustainable ports; and engaging with global network terminal operators (GNTs). It developed materials and ran events to equip affiliates to campaign, lobby policy makers and bargain effectively with employers on environmental issues. It produced a briefing paper for the ITF Africa maritime conference in Madagascar in 2012, where delegates identified poor air quality, dust from cargo and lack of protective safety equipment as concerns for dockers in African ports. It also commissioned a review of environmental and sustainability issues in ports. Port sustainability discussion groups had taken place by the end of Other work by ITF sections included a civil aviation climate change conference in 2011 and lobbying the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) scheme to reduce emissions; and participating as an International Maritime Organization (IMO) representative on the marine environment protection committee and joining the United Nations (UN) sustainable development working group. For more information on the ITF s work on climate change, visit Precarious and informal transport workers 74. The number of casually-employed workers in many industries who struggle to make a living in precarious circumstances continued to rise amid the ongoing global financial crisis. Vulnerable workers include taxi, jeepney and motorcycle drivers; vendors; porters; outsourced services workers in railways; small-scale fishers; and false self-employed drivers. They often manage without the protections of trade union agreements or social legislation, though some may join cooperatives or other groups. ITF activity on precarious and informal work began after the Mexico congress. An informal workers project appointed five mentor unions experienced in organising and collective bargaining for informal transport workers and with the capacity to provide support, advice and training. The mentor unions have helped organisers, activists and elected union representatives particularly women and young activists in regional affiliates to organise and develop collective bargaining power. The project s three priorities are mapping, raising the visibility of women workers in informal transport and increasing their participation in unions; raising awareness and mutual understanding between trade unions and transport workers in the informal economy; and providing training and technical advice for organising activists. It was supported by the GLI and had industrial support through events including the Montreal young transport workers conference. 75. In 2012, the ITF commissioned the GLI to undertake a brief study of the nature and extent of precarious employment in the transport industry and the experience of union organising. As a result of the study, the ITF developed an Organising precarious transport workers booklet (published in January 2014) to give practical advice and ideas to affiliates. 21

22 Chapter 2: Working across the transport industries Tackling HIV/AIDS The ITF is an organisation representing the best interests of transport workers around the world; it would be impossible to fulfil that role without addressing the issue of HIV/AIDS. This is a union issue. How we approach dealing with this disease must be unifying for transport workers across all sectors and also take into account the unique elements of each workforce. We must fight stigma, we must put the dignity of transport workers living and working with HIV/AIDS at the forefront of our work and we must not try to use a one size fits all approach. ITF president and dockers section chair Paddy Crumlin 76. HI/AIDS has a triple impact on the transport sector. It affects transport workers, their families, communities; the enterprise concerned; and the economy as a whole. Transport workers whether they work on land, sea or air routes are particularly vulnerable to acquiring and transmitting HIV infection because of the nature and conditions of their work. Yet little attention has been paid to reducing their vulnerability and trade unions have a vital role to play in changing this. 22

23 ITF report to congress on activities Groundbreaking programme 77. Supported by Dutch trade union development agency FNV Mondiaal, the ITF has been working to respond to the challenges of HIV/AIDS in the transport sector for over 12 years. In 2012 it arranged for an external evaluation of its HIV/AIDS work, in order to identify good practice and lessons learned, with a view to guiding future planning. 78. The evaluators found that the ITF s programme had been groundbreaking and effective, fulfilling five key tasks: leading, communicating, educating, representing, and taking action. They particularly commended the way that HIV/AIDS work had become an integrated part of affiliated unions structures and activities, including the core union functions of collective bargaining and organising. The evaluation report noted that taking on HIV/AIDS had re-motivated and strengthened a number of unions, even increasing their membership. Making HIV/AIDS a workplace issue 79. The ITF continued to encourage its affiliates to mobilise on World AIDS day on 1 December each year, as part of its campaign to make HIV/AIDS a core element of their work and to establish HIV as a workplace issue. It focused the annual action on zero new infections and zero discrimination and encouraged activists to be a change agent to drive collaboration with local, national and international governments and organisations to tackle HIV/AIDs. 80. The ITF Delhi office produced a film entitled Being positive on the issues and challenges being faced by HIV positive transport workers in India. The film received widespread acclaim and was awarded at an Indian livelihood film festival in A major development was the establishment in Mombasa, Kenya, of USAFIRI, the first network in Africa of HIV positive transport workers, in Over 2012/13, the Zambian National Union of Transport and Allied Workers (NUTAW) signed six CBAs with HIV clauses, and in Uganda the Amalgamated Transport and General Workers Union used HIV/AIDS wellness centres to organise unorganised workers and planned to form the Uganda chapter of USAFIRI. 82. The 2012 evaluation showed that the ITF/FNV Mondiaal HIV/AIDS organising project along the East African transport corridors had achieved significant success. In India the port and dock workers unions lobbied their government hard and achieved a new five-year memorandum of settlement. In October 2013, the government agreed to incorporate an HIV/AIDS policy for all 12 major ports in the country. 83. An ITF HIV/AIDS survey of ports and port workers in 2011 revealed an overwhelming desire by affiliates for help in expanding their HIV/AIDS activities. So in 2013 the ITF published the practical HIV/AIDS and portworkers - a resource pack for unions, in collaboration with dockers affiliates, which was first used at a workshop in Central America. As a result, there were 13 trained HIV focal point persons in ITF dockers unions. The toolkit can be downloaded online. In 2012, the ITF published HIV/AIDS and civil aviation, a resource pack for unions, which is also available. A HIV/AIDS manual for affiliates in Latin America was launched in Spanish and Portuguese. 84. The ITF continued to publish the annual Agenda magazine as well as a bi-monthly global HIV/AIDS project e-bulletin. In 2010, the ITF, ILO and UIC produced a joint toolkit on HIV/AIDS in railways. 23

24 Chapter 2: Working across the transport industries Human and trade union rights Tackling oppression in Swaziland 85. Transport trade unions in Swaziland reported worsening violent repression in 2012, including the police use of batons, tear gas and rubber bullets against peaceful protestors in July, the banning and de-registering of the national trade union centre TUCOSWA and the arrest in August of Bazel Thwala, legal officer of the ITF-affiliated Swaziland Transport and Allied Workers Union (STAWU). STAWU members staged a two-day public transport stoppage in July; LabourStart launched an online campaign in August, which led to over 5,600 protest messages being sent in six weeks; and in September, unions worldwide supported STAWU s Global week of action. In November, transport unionists attending the ITF road and railway joint section conference in Toronto pledged to intensify pressure on the Swaziland regime through, for example, targeting key supply chains from neighbouring countries. Ongoing campaigning culminated in assistant general secretary Stuart Howard s mission to Swaziland in February Howard visited Thwala in jail and ramped up pressure for his release, co-ordinating with the ITUC and US unions over trade privileges granted by the US to Swaziland. Thwala was finally freed in April Demanding government action over Philippines murders 86. The ITF wrote to the president and the chair of the Commission on human rights in the Philippines to condemn government inaction following the murders of Antonio Dodong Petalcorin and Kagi Lucman in under three weeks, the sixth and seventh union leaders to be murdered since March 2012, including Ponciano Infante, president of an independent union of jeepney drivers. The ITF Philippines national co-ordinating committee (NCC) also wrote to the minister of labour to protest against the killings. The ITF general secretary received an update on the case when he visited the Philippines in November Contact was also made with PISTON a non-affiliate of the ITF whose members had also been murdered. Campaigning for freedom in Morocco 87. An ITF campaign, which included solidarity strikes by dockers in Moroccan ports and a mass rally by maritime workers in Spain, helped achieve the repatriation in 2012 of seafarers abandoned for seven months in Moroccan, Spanish and French ports by their employer, ferry owner Comarit-Comana, which had run into financial difficulties. Efforts continued to secure all wages owed to the workers. However, Said Elhairech and Mohamed Chamchati of the ITF s Moroccan affiliates were arrested and imprisoned, seemingly on mistaken charges linked to the solidarity campaign. The ITF s Arab World unions responded with an energetic campaign publicising the case and wining global support, applying pressure on the authorities to release the two men. During an ITF maritime roundtable event held in Casablanca in September 2012, a message from Mr Elhairech was broadcast to delegates directly from his prison cell. The two men were released in late 2012, with most of the charges against them dropped. In March 2013 the ITF nominated Said Elhairech for the Febe Elisabeth Velasquez prize, an international award recognising those who take personal risks to defend trade union rights in their countries. Fighting for reinstatement of Thai rail activists 88. The campaign continued for the reinstatement of trade unionists dismissed by the Thai state railway company when they were campaigning for labour rights and better safety standards. ITF activities included a safety mission to Thailand in 2010, letters to the Thai government and railway company; and online protest campaigns. In 2011, after leaders of the State Railway Workers Union of Thailand (SRUT) received dismissal letters, then ITF general secretary David Cockcroft wrote to the Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra requesting his intervention. In 2012, the railway section lobbied the Thai government and state railways board to reinstate the activists and to drop a 15 million Thai baht fine against the SRUT. In May 2013, the ITF, SRUT, the Thai State Enterprises Workers Relations Confederation (SERC) and the ITUC made a joint complaint against the Thai government to the ILO. 24

25 ITF report to congress on activities Situation in Iran 89. Despite ongoing external pressure from the ITF and others, the situation for trade unionists and workers continued to be grave in Iran, with regular targeting of bus workers union the Vahed Syndicate leaders and activists. While Mansour Osanloo, the union s president, was finally released in June 2011 after four years imprisonment for acting against national security, Reza Shahibi, the union s treasurer, and Ebrahim Madadi, the union vice-president, remained in prison after being arrested in April In 2012, 60 workers were beaten and detained following a raid on a meeting to discuss trade unionism in the city of Karaj, and in January 2013, three bus drivers were dismissed after campaigning for higher wages. In September 2011, the ITF welcomed the report by the ILO s committee on freedom of association, which vindicated the joint ITF/ITUC complaint against the Iranian government s treatment of the Tehran bus drivers union and its leaders. The report can be seen at 25

26 Chapter 3: ITF sections in action 26

27 ITF report to congress on activities 90. This part of the report covers activities by the eight sections of the ITF during the period since the Mexico City congress. Civil aviation 91. Over the last four years, airlines, airports and providers have been under pressure from the low-cost carrier model, and the airline industry as a whole has singled out personnel for cuts and redundancies. Ground staff, mechanics and technicians, catering staff, air traffic controllers as well as pilots and cabin crew have all been hard hit by massive wage cuts, cutbacks in pension entitlements, social dumping and job losses. In many cases work has become so intensified that it raises very serious security and safety implications. There was an ongoing sharp decline in employees morale and confidence in management. Industrial relations deteriorated significantly, with aviation workers frustrated by having to bear the brunt of changing business cycles and external shocks. 92. In spite of the ownership and control regulations provided in the Chicago convention, there was a dangerous proliferation of flags of convenience in the aviation industry. These were promoted by sub-regional multinational agreements that fail to consider the social implications of these practices and their effect on safety and security. Organising campaigns 93. There were a number of successful organising campaigns among civil aviation affiliates, and women and young workers played a pivotal role in them all. These are just a few examples. 94. Through co-ordination at national, regional and global level, the Aviation Industry Employees' Guild in India managed to organise aviation workers at Air India Express and Air India SATS Airport Service Private Limited. The union won recognition in both companies. 95. The section achieved a considerably rapid growth in affiliation in the Arab World, with two unions in Egypt and one in each of Lebanon, Kuwait, Bahrain, Libya and Yemen some of them newly formed with ITF support. As a result, a highly active civil aviation committee was established for the first time in the region. 96. As a result of a merger between LAN Airlines and TAM Airlines in 2012, LATAM was established in Latin America. The LATAM group is registered in Chile and has subsidiaries in Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Peru. Under the auspices of the ITF, civil aviation affiliates that successfully organised LAN and TAM managed to overcome the threats of this merger. Two new unions were formed or rebuilt to increase the unionisation rate in the LATAM network: a cabin crew union in Paraguay and a mechanics/technicians union in Chile. 27

28 Chapter 3: ITF sections in action LATAM organising 28

29 ITF report to congress on activities 97. The ITF and its affiliated unions responded to the creation of a new, merged LATAM Airlines group enterprise in 2012 by reinforcing and expanding their own union network in South America to incorporate unions in all companies in the new group. As a result of the merger, LATAM became a parent company to LAN and TAM airlines and their subsidiaries, with over 51,000 employees in Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. 98. The ITF LATAM network grew significantly in both size and ability to assist member unions, largely thanks to a series of ITF seminars sponsored by the Friederic Ebert Foundation (FES) in Germany and supported by FNV Mondiaal. 99. The network provided opportunities for unions to learn from each other s responses to aggressive anti-union behavior in LATAM. LAN unions in Colombia, for example, learned about how the company fired large number of workers in Peru and Ecuador during periods of organising activity, which helped the Colombian cabin crew union to organise LATAM mechanics into a new union and to assist them in negotiating a first contract LATAM unions provided immediate international support to stop the company intervening in the choice of leadership by the mechanics union in Peru. A new federation of aviation unions was formed in Peru, and in Argentina, union co-operation grew so that, for the first time, joint bargaining between all LATAM unions and the company took place At its meeting in Bogota, Colombia in October 2013, the LATAM union network welcomed two unions of previously un-organised workers: the cabin crew union of TAM Mercosur from Paraguay, which had a strong female leadership presence and a woman president, and the ground handling union of LAN workers in Ecuador. To show solidarity with Colombian aviation unions in their negotiations for fair wages with Avianca, participants marched seven kilometres through the city. The film on the LATAM organising project can be viewed online. 29

30 Chapter 3: ITF sections in action 102. Unions in 11 Asecna (Agency for Aerial Navigation Safety in Africa and Madagascar) countries re-established the Festa (Federation of Workers Unions of Asecna) in early In the mid-term FESTA wants to expand its coverage to other French speaking African countries. The ITF worked closely with IFATCA to achieve this breakthrough Delta Airlines is the largest anti-union airline in the US and in the global aviation industry. Despite the hard work of ITF USA affiliates for over a decade, successive votes on unionisation at Delta in 2002 and 2008 failed. A vote in 2010, following Delta s merger with Northwest Airlines, was narrowly defeated. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) campaigned for a unionisation vote for Delta cabin crew for the last two years and the ITF mobilised solidarity in support. Responding to airline alliances 104. The ITF continued to respond to the increase in strategic alliances between airlines by co-ordinating and supporting effective union solidarity alliances to protect jobs and terms and conditions across the companies and the countries where they operate. Even in countries where social dialogue was well established, these alliances are putting strains on labour relations within companies Organising initiatives in the airline alliances resulted in important gains: in Star Alliance, Panamanian cabin crew union SIPANAV and the cabin crew union of Egypt Air joined the ITF; in Skyteam, the pilots union at Aerolineas Argentinas (APLA) and ground staff union of Middle East Airlines became ITF affiliates The ITF Oneworld of labour council was formed in 2011 and its annual meetings enabled union members to share intelligence and plan joint actions in response to major developments. A new web page was set up to help unions in the network share information and updates and support each other s actions. Health and safety 107. ITF research and other studies showed that there was a dramatic and global increase in stress and fatigue among civil aviation workers. Other important occupational safety and health issues were cabin air quality, airport pollution, onboard child restraints, baggage weight limits (including cabin baggage, security and quantity limits) and unruly passengers. These issues were raised at international platforms, including in 2013 at the ILO global dialogue forum meeting and the ICAO conference and assembly. The ITF delegation to the ICAO 38th assembly presented proposals on cabin air quality, airport pollution and child restraints that received substantial support from ICAO member states. The ITF and its affiliates continued lobbying on these issues In 2012, the ITF launched a new website dealing with cabin air quality, where trade unions can access information and advice and download publicity materials The cabin crew committee of the ITF section also took part in the ICAO cabin safety group (ICSG), a joint industry-regulatory effort composed of cabin safety experts from civil aviation authorities, airlines, aircraft manufacturers and international organisations. One major task of the ICSG was to revise the Cabin crew safety training manual, to be published in A new 70-page resource pack for tackling the issue of HIV/AIDS in the industry was unveiled, following a 2010 ITF survey. It provides a range of factsheets and presents a number of case studies. It was promoted in 2013 and 2014 at educational activities in Anglophone and Francophone Africa and South Asia, in co-operation with the ILO and the UNAIDS. The pack can be downloaded online. 30

31 ITF report to congress on activities Solidarity 111. The section continued to prioritise sustaining effective international solidarity in the face of increasing attacks on the fundamental rights of aviation workers. It launched strategic solidarity campaigns to support workers struggling for trade union rights in companies including Qantas and its subsidiaries, British Airways, Cargolux, PALEA and Turkish Airlines There was a significant victory when agreement was reached at the end of 2013 between Turkish Airlines (THY) and the ITFaffiliated Turkish Civil Aviation Union (Hava-Is) which would ensure the reinstatement of 305 sacked workers and end a 20-month dispute. A collective agreement to 2015 was also reached. This followed a major international solidarity campaign for the workers, who had been sacked in May 2012 after protesting a strike ban in the aviation industry. Despite court rulings in favour of more than 170 of the dismissed Hava-Is members, THY had repeatedly refused to reinstate them, causing the ITF and Hava-Is to lodge a complaint against the Turkish government at the ILO in March We are delighted to see that a deal has been finally reached through proper negotiation between THY and our affiliate Hava-Is - showing that determination pays off. It s a fantastic outcome that we hope will help the Turkish government to repair its tarnished reputation. ITF civil aviation section secretary Gabriel Mocho 113. In the Philippines, after an intense two-year struggle, the Philippine Airlines Employees Association (PALEA), with international solidarity support, won agreement from Philippines Airlines (PAL) in November 2013 for the return to work of 600 of 2,600 workers who had been outsourced on inferior conditions and short term contracts, threatened with redundancy, and even locked out Other solidarity campaigns continued, including an international day of action in support of Qantas workers locked out in October 2011 because they opposed changes at the Australian flag carrier which would drastically downgrade standards and working conditions and outsource some operations to Asia. Following a decision by Fair Work Australia (FWA), the national workplace relations tribunal, Qantas workers in Australia won a new agreement in 2012, with significant improvements in pay and conditions and a commitment that there would be no compulsory redundancies as a direct consequence of the use of contracted labour In 2013 the ITF began to lay the foundations of a future campaign targeting anti-labour and anti-human rights practices of Qatar Airways, particularly over women s rights and gender equality. It gained significant support and was working in close collaboration with the ITUC To enable the ITF and its affiliates to deal with new challenges effectively, the ITF established three ad hoc working groups and networks: Swissport group, maintenance repair and overhaul group and aviation FOCs group. They were already producing useful work and will enable the ITF and unions to tackle new situations swiftly Women form a large proportion of the civil aviation workforce, and 30 percent of affiliate membership, but gender discrimination persists, leading to small numbers of women in some occupations. The successful LAN and LATAM organising campaigns in Latin America and the Caribbean led to two new unions being established in Paraguay and affiliated to the ITF in 2013, one made up of and led by women. An embryonic section network emerged from the ITF strategic organising and leadership training course in 2013 and will be developed in

32 Chapter 3: ITF sections in action 118. The section started a blog, which is currently published in and and will soon be appearing in French. It features regular updates taken from a host of different sources on issues that affect all airline workers including cabin crew, airline ground staff, pilots, airport workers and air traffic management staff. The blogs can be viewed at Tourism 119. The ITF works with the ETF and IUF, UNI and the European Trade Union Liaison Committee on Tourism (ETLC) to focus on issues facing workers in the tourism industry and to lobby the World Tourism Organisation for more of a say in its activities, alongside union work with the ILO. They worked to achieve better union co-ordination on the ETLC, particularly in relation to European Works Councils. They also made their European charter for tourism a global one, to better organise tourism workers around the world dealing with the impact of technological change and outsourcing, particularly in travel agencies and reservation centres The ITF carried out a mapping exercise of four main companies in the cruise ship industry. There were regular ship visits and meetings with crew to provide education and training, in particular to workers from India and the Philippines. A major problem to emerge was the application of the ILO convention for hospitality workers who are not always on board the vessel. Another serious issue was assaults on women in the hotel industry The ITF tourism services secretariat undertook strategic research on Thomas Cook, a key multinational for unions operating in the tourism sector. It was supported by other global union federations (GUFs) and their affiliates, and collaborated with several other ITF industrial sections and the women s and research departments In January 2013, workers overwhelmingly approved the first labour contract at the Pacific Beach Hotel in Waikiki, Hawaii, ending 10 years of dispute that wound up in the courts. The success for the International Longshore & Warehouse Union (ILWU) followed the decision in 2012 of the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold a district court judgement against the company and the refusal of the US Supreme Court to hear the hotel s appeal. Dockers 123. Ongoing port reform, automation, privatisation and liberalisation were key developments in the industry, together with the domination of global supply chains by multinational companies. Global companies continued to attempt to maximise their profits by opting to use ports of convenience (POCs), where labour is cheaper and where they do not have to observe health and safety standards or recognise organised trade unions. For the ITF and dockers affiliates, this meant ports around the world became more vulnerable to the running down of safety and other labour standards In April 2013,160 representatives from 11 maritime unions in 10 countries met in Sydney, Australia in a conference designed to set the union agenda on global port automation. Delegates at the conference set an ambitious strategy anchored on a clear principle - that maritime remained open to transparent negotiations over implementing automation, but strongly opposed union busting dressed up as technological change Capacity building has been a key part of the section s activity over the period. In 2012 and 2013, the ITF trained activists in the key Indian ports of Cochin, Navi Mumbai and Chennai, which helped them achieve significant membership gains in their terminals. A major training programme, including leadership, was completed in Hong Kong, where an organisers manual and other organising tools were developed. In the Baltic region, workshops and training took place to bring together the leadership and rank and file in national dockers unions. The section completed a port reform toolkit and also a negotiating and bargaining toolkit for dockers, which will be available in March 2014 in English, Spanish and Arabic; in addition it started a Training the trainers project for dockworkers. The first seminar took place in India in December In 2013 the ITF also published the practical HIV/AIDS and portworkers - a resource pack for unions, in collaboration with dockers affiliates, which was first used at a workshop in Central America. As a result, there were 13 trained HIV focal point persons in ITF dockers unions (see para 83). 32

33 ITF report to congress on activities 126. As part of the UK/Ireland POC campaign work, a UK and Ireland project to build on the signing of a collective bargaining agreement between Associated British Ports and UNITE (Great Britain) was initiated, to focus on organising ports as transport hubs As part of campaigning against reform, co-ordinated work was undertaken in collaboration with the ETF dockers section to respond to the threat of a ports package three across the European Union. 33

34 Chapter 3: ITF sections in action Global network terminals 128. Ports and shipping also saw major consolidation, with the emergence of the big four global network (GNT) operators and the growth of regionally-based GNTs with expansion ambitions. The four GNTS APM (A.P. Moller Maerks, or APMT), Dubai Ports World (DPW), Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH) and PSA International (Ports of Singapore Authority) now control over half the world s ports and terminals. But the conditions, protection and comparative rates of pay for their workers vary from country to country. Over the period however, progress was made in developing relationships with the GNTs and several collective bargaining agreements were achieved. 34

35 ITF report to congress on activities 129. In 2013, the ITF published the first major international study of health and safety practices in GNTs. Managing the health and safety of workers in globalised container terminals was commissioned by the ITF and conducted by Cardiff University with the co-operation of three GNTs, DPW, PSA and APMT. It examined six GNT ports and surveyed ITF member unions worldwide. It found that container terminals remained a high-risk environment and concluded that GNT operators needed to significantly improve health and safety management systems. It will be followed by a wider and more comprehensive second study. The study can be found online. This is an important, first-of-its-kind project. By engaging in an independent assessment of their performance, these companies showed leadership for the wider container terminals industry. Sharon James, who was appointed as dockers section secretary in 2012, the first woman to head an ITF industrial section The ITF was heavily involved in assisting dockers unions facing problems caused by GNT domination in many ports. Sometimes this meant focusing on health and safety practices, or pressing ports and shipowners to restrict cargo handling to dockers, for reasons of health and safety and job security. This helped several affiliates achieve victories in their disputes and by the end of 2013, unions had achieved recognition and collective bargaining agreements in several of these projects A series of strikes and international solidarity action, including the threat by unions of lawful action to delay vessels, helped FNV Bondgenoten win a new CBA in February 2012 with the APMT-operated Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Crucially, this included a guarantee of job security at the port and also at APMT s terminal at Rotterdam s new harbour, Maasvlakte In Port Said, Egypt 2,450 workers were organised at the APM and DPW terminals and CBAs achieved. International unions supported 1,200 dockers at Sokhna Port in Egypt during a successful 10-day strike in 2012 to settle compensation payments agreed by DPW four months before. The Independent Union of Sokhna Port Workers later also secured concessions on workforce involvement and profit-sharing A 40-day strike at the Port of Hong Kong ended in May 2013 when ITF-affiliate the Union of Hong Kong Dockers accepted a deal stipulating improved wages and further negotiation on working conditions as well as assurance of no retaliation against workers who participated in the strike. This was a significant victory for the union and ITF campaign, as Hutchison had proved unwilling to engage with unions A 10-day strike by 3,000 workers from 11 unions, including ITF-affiliate Cochin Port Staff Association, brought container movement to a standstill at the DPW-operated Kochi International Container Transhipment Terminal (ICTT Vallarpadam) in Kerala, India. The strike ended when drivers and cleaners secured a new CBA. Meanwhile, after a struggle lasting over 21 months the unions at GTI (APMT) in Navi Mumbai, led by the Transport and Dock Workers Union, Mumbai, were successful in renewing a CBA in December 2013, covering over 800 transport workers employed under four contractors The section continued to develop the dockers port intelligence database (DPI) which lets dockers share information about their GNT ports from financial information to the treatment of workers. Affiliates came together at the annual ITF global GNT meetings, as well as in their individual GNT networks. The monthly GNT bulletin provided regular updates to activists, and the Asia Pacific regional office produced a local edition. The section began to explore how to better use solidarity actions as well to support unions effectively and increase its bargaining power. 35

36 Chapter 3: ITF sections in action 136. There was a significant rise in the number of requests for international solidarity actions from dockers unions in dispute with employers, including the GNTs. In several cases, disputes arose in connection with human and trade unions rights repression linked to concessioning and privatisations for example in the cases in Honduras and Guatemala (see para 283). One particularly high-profile campaign was in 2012, in support of ITF affiliate MUNZ (Maritime Union of New Zealand) in its dispute with Ports of Auckland Limited. Dockers had been told that 320 workers were being made compulsorily redundant and were locked out by their employer in March 2012, just when a negotiated settlement was within reach. The campaign involved sending 6,000 letters to the mayor of Auckland and helped the union achieve a positive outcome. The port finally agreed to halt its redundancy plans, cease outsourcing operations, and re-enter negotiations with MUNZ Key to the dockers section work over the period has been building on the relationship of solidarity between seafarers and dockers. Action at Newcastle Port in 2012 followed a spate of fatalities on flag of convenience (FOC) ships, among them three crew within a six-week period on board the Panama-flagged Sage Sagittarius, which had been in Australian waters in October The section s activity on women workers included contributing to the ITF guide on fighting violence against women and the Best practice guide on organising women in maritime unions. It also carried out a survey of dockers affiliates on women union participation and working patterns, which will be published in Initial work to develop a dockers women s network moved forward so that by the end of 2013, it had grown to 42 participants. In October 2012 Judith Abuka from the Dockers Union of Kenya was elected as the ITF Africa dockers chair. An ITF film Mombasa Rising, featuring many of the women and young workers from the Kenyan union was being produced by the ITF in The rise of new technologies may have created potential opportunities for women dockers but a survey of women in ports in 2013 found them still concentrated in clerical and ancillary services. To help change this, the section produced and widely distributed a leaflet showing men and women working together on the docks. Some 20 women leaders from affiliated dockers unions participated in the first Maritime women s leadership, strategy and organising programme in The POC women activists there created the dockers women leaders network, which at the end of 2013 had 44 members in five regions. In 2013 the ITF ran workshops for women dockers in Asia Pacific and Latin American and Caribbean countries The section carried out a survey of young dockers in unions, a first step, in a broad mapping exercise of the issues young dockers faced at work and within their unions. This had a big response; the results will be published in November 2014 at the dockers section committee meeting. The survey resulted in the formation of a network of nearly 200 young dockworkers. Inland transport 141. The road and rail transport sections worked together on a wide range of issues, including trade union rights, privatisation, deregulation and standards in passenger and freight transport systems; multinational companies; health and safety; organising strategies for women and solidarity support for affiliates. They built on their relationships with public transport employers organisation UITP (International Association of Public Transport) and the ILO At the joint road transport workers section and railway workers section conference in Toronto in November 2012, hosted by the Canadian Auto Workers (now Unifor), over 200 unionists from 76 unions in 44 countries discussed union responses to many of these challenges. Topics included organising workers in informal and precarious jobs, using HIV/AIDS programmes as an organising tool and the successful safe rates campaign by the Transport Workers Union (TWU) Australia in the freight transport chain Unions continued to use the annual global ITF Action week to highlight their local demands and bring issues to the attention of those in power. In October 2013, road transport and railway unions and their members from at least 28 countries took part. On 10 October, the ETF organised an action day within the framework of the action week against the fourth railway package. In 2012, activities included workers in Nepal and India marching several kilometres to a rally at the Indo-Nepali border and Finnish activists recruiting 600 union members. In 2011, unions lobbied government and took action on road safety for example, in Canada, unionists handed out leaflets to taxi drivers to identify their key problems. A report of the 2013 activities is online. 36

37 ITF report to congress on activities 144. The unions fight against growing workplace violence worldwide was bolstered by a film launched on International workers memorial day in The four-minute film aimed to empower urban transport workers to say no to violence at work. The film was complemented by the release of a special activists pack containing an ITF booklet called It s part of our job but it shouldn t be which sets out how workers can combat the problem and provides case studies of how unions have confronted violence against staff. In October 2011, the sections circulated a report of a survey on workplace sexual harassment and violence, for women transport workers in rail and road. The report included practical examples on tackling the issue. Urban transport 145. In 2013, based on the Mexico congress work programme, the ITF signed a memorandum of understanding with the International Association of Public Transport (UITP), backing the expansion of public transport as a key driver of sustainable growth, key jobs and environmental protection. The two organisations agreed to work together to develop recommendations on vocational training and staff security In October 2013 the ITF s first urban transport committee meeting in the Asia Pacific region took place. Delegates agreed to develop transport policy, tackle the anti-union behaviour of global multinationals, oppose liberalisation of public transport industries, organise informal transport workers and stand up for the rights of transport workers in the Philippines Under the global Quality public services (QPS) campaign, ITF unions came together in June 2011 under the slogan Promote public transport to take a variety of actions in order to defend and advance quality public transport services. Campaigning at policy level against privatisation and for quality public services formed part of the ITF Bangkok city project. In July 2012, the ITF funded a workshop on Strategic planning for campaigning on quality public services in Thailand, which brought together unions leaders and activists representing seven local global unions ITF, PSI, UNI, EI, IUF, Industri-ALL, BWI and a labour alliance group. A QPS Thailand working group was established to co-ordinate and monitor the work, and several dates such as International women s day were targeted for events. On the World day for decent work during the ITF Action week, unions submitted a charter of demands to the government, which included ratification of ILO conventions No.87 and 98; an end to sub-contracting and shortterm employment; fair pay, equal work, equal pay; an end to privatisation; promotion of quality public services; and health and safety at work As endorsed at the urban transport committee meeting in 2013, the ITF was developing a more transport-oriented campaign for ITF affiliates as part of the global unions initiative on QPS, with the aim to launch the ITF Our public transport campaign at the 2014 ITF congress. Passenger transport multinationals 149. In 2013 more than 189 activists from 85 unions in 43 countries were members of the ITF s network on urban transport multinationals, set up in 2000 for unions to exchange information on passenger transport multinational companies and their activities. It has also allowed affiliates to share their experiences of industrial relationships, CBAs and working conditions. The network continued to monitor the activities of companies such as National Express, Stagecoach, Veolia and FirstGroup and to mobilise global solidarity when disputes with these companies arose A key target for activity was the National Express Group, with unions making the most of the company s AGMs in London to highlight its poor labour rights record at Durham School Bus Services (Durham) in North America. In 2012, representatives from ITF affiliates, the Teamsters Union and TWU (US), Unite (Great Britain) and the ITF secretariat attended the AGM to publicise research commissioned by the Teamsters and Unite on the company s labour activities, and the ETF s urban public transport committee adopted a statement in support of the Teamsters/Unite campaign to win union recognition and respect for all National Express workers. In 2013, the ITF, Teamsters, Unite and RMT also highlighted at the AGM the poor safety standards of Durham vehicles. 37

38 Chapter 3: ITF sections in action Passenger transport multinationals continued 151. In April, the Teamsters hosted a fact-finding mission in the US. Representatives from the ITF, Unite, ver.di Germany and German trade union Eisenbahn- und Verkehrsgewerkschaft (EVG) attended meetings with workers employed by Durham on workers rights and safety issues. Despite further interventions by the RMT and Unite, the management in the US had not changed its stance More than 20,000 workers benefited from a groundbreaking national agreement in June 2011 between the Teamsters and First Student Inc, North America s largest private provider of school bus transport (and a subsidiary of Scotland-based FirstGroup). The four-year settlement, the first national agreement with the company, was ratified by 91 percent of union members and provided improved workplace protections, a national grievance procedure and higher standards In 2012, ITF affiliates in France assisted the Amalgamated Transport Union (ATU) in its conflict with Veolia in the USA. ATU had been negotiating a CBA for bus drivers since May 2010 when the management made a take it or leave it final offer which was inferior to their previous ones. More than 900 bus drivers in Phoenix and Tempe took strike action against the company. In 2013, support was also provided to ITF affiliate the Communications Workers of America (CWA) in their dispute with Veolia there. The union was in bargaining with SuperShuttle, a subsidiary of Veolia Transportation, since January 2012 to agree a first contract for the professional drivers who carry passengers at Denver International Airport, when the company embarked on a number of antiunion activities. The ITF held a strategy meeting on Veolia in Washington in April In 2012, the ITF s French affiliates also supported the ATU s dispute with Acadian Coach Lines a subsidiary of Keolis - in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island in Canada over wages and conditions In May 2013, the section secretary and the chair of the urban transport committee, Stefan Heimlich (ver.di Germany) met with rail operator MTR in Hong Kong The ITF backed thousands of London bus drivers in a one-day strike at over 70 bus garages in June 2012 over the failure by London bus operators to award them an Olympic payment. It was the first time in 30 years that members of ITF-affiliated union Unite had taken London-wide industrial action. Drivers sought the GBP500 award to compensate them for dealing with an estimated 800,000 more people set to be using London buses during London 2012, in line with payments agreed for most other transport workers in London The ITF supported its affiliate the Union des Syndicats UMT des Transports (UMT) in the face of union-busting activities by the company City Bus in Fes, Morocco since it won the contract to manage urban transport in the city in Road transport 158. The 20-year Safe rates campaign by members and supporters of the Transport Workers Union (TWU) in Australia achieved a significant win when their government passed the Road Safety Remuneration Act and established the unique Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal in The campaign arose out of moves by big retail clients to drive down contract costs and set unachievable delivery deadlines, which threatened driver and public safety. ITF unions welcomed the campaign as a crucial tool in the fight for better safety and fair conditions for truck drivers. Unions considered how this campaign concept could be promoted and successfully utilised by affiliates in other regions and in 2013, it brought together TWU leaders, representatives from the International Road Transport Union (IRU), the European Commission and the ILO in order to discuss this further Work with freight multinationals continued. In early 2012, the ITF protested to trucking firm Norbert Dentressangle in Poland and its customers over the company s refusal to start negotiations with the newly-created NSZZ Solidarnosc Union on collective bargaining and pay. It supported the ETF solidarity visit to the 350 striking drivers. An agreement was reached in 2012, some dismissed drivers were reinstated and the NSZZ is now a full member of the ITF and ETF. In April 2013, the ITF wrote to Kuehne + 38

39 ITF report to congress on activities Nagel Ltd (KN) on behalf of the First Union in New Zealand and urged the German-based company to enter into bargaining with the union There were some notable successes for ITF affiliates who represent workers at the global delivery company UPS. In February 2011, 163 Turkish transport workers sacked the previous April for union activity and support, won their jobs back and received compensation after a sustained campaign by their union TÜMTİS and international solidarity. In December 2011, TÜMTİS signed a first collective agreement with UPS, which was renewed in The same year, TWU in Australia won its first workplace agreement with UPS, on working conditions, standards and pay rates to the end of And ver.di in Germany won nine of the 11 seats in the UPS works council election Several section affiliates successfully campaigned to improve working conditions for road transport workers. For example, Kommunal and the Swedish Bus and Coach Employers Association (BuA) signed a new collective bargaining agreement in 2013 after a nine-day strike. In 2012, petrol tanker drivers in Great Britain represented by Unite, voted for industrial action to secure industry-wide minimum standards; eight days of talks resulted in proposals which averted the strike. In 2011, SATAWU South Africa took strike action for better pay and conditions in the road freight and logistics industry; a settlement was reached between the union and the employers association. Building strong unions West Africa corridors project Road transport workers in West Africa face many challenges It is important that unions across the sub-region work together to tackle these problems and these activities will go a long way towards that goal. ITF Africa francophone co-ordinator Bayla Sow 162. Poor working conditions (including harassment, bribes, checkpoints, lack of facilities, fatigue and HIV/AIDS) are experienced by road transport workers in goods and passenger transport along the transport corridors of West Africa The ITF prioritised this, carrying out an in-depth evaluation in 2012 of the earlier phases of its joint project with SASK (the Finnish trade union and solidarity centre) in order to develop the focus of the phase. The ITF/SASK project aims to strengthen the bargaining and organising capacity of road transport unions along the main West African road transport corridors Union representatives from Niger, Benin, Ghana, Burkina Faso and Côte d Ivoire came together in Cotonou, Benin in April 2013 at the first implementation seminar of the next phase to discuss common challenges and develop a strategy. Following on from this, unions established a 12-strong ITF West African sub-regional road transport committee In March 2011, a caravan activity aimed to mobilise unions, raise awareness of the need for national and sub-regional collective agreements and to organise road transport workers. The caravan travelled 4,000 kilometres across West Africa over two weeks was a bridge year for the ITF East Africa road transport corridors project established in early 2011 with sponsorship by FNV Mondiaal, involving unions from Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda. The project planning seminar in September 2012 agreed that the new phase of the project should remain cross-sectoral, keep HIV/AIDS activities and focus on CBAs and organising. Project activities started in In both the West Africa and East Africa corridor projects, international drivers cards were distributed to union members to assist drivers while working abroad and to use them as an organising and solidarity tool. 39

40 Chapter 3: ITF sections in action 167. In 2009, a team of women members in the section was set up to support the development of activities for women road transport workers. In 2013 the section launched Women bus workers driving to equality, a publication aimed to make buses better places for women to work. Using case studies, information and checklists, the guide shares strategies to promote women as bus drivers, union campaigns to address workplace issues and initiatives to organise and mobilise women bus workers In June 2011, ITF unions representing taxi workers participated in a taxi workers conference which discussed the consequences of deregulation for working conditions and trade union organisation, and successful organising campaigns by taxi drivers unions. In 2011 and 2012, special taxi workers days were held during the annual action week to highlight specific problems and to increase their level of trade union organisation. Railways Responding to restructuring 169. The overriding issue facing railway workers worldwide remained the restructuring of railway systems and the consequences for jobs, working conditions and trade union rights. The section supported a number of union campaigns against privatisation, for safer railways, and better working conditions. It participated in the ETF action day held during the 2013 ITF action week - against the fourth railway package proposed by the European Commission at the start of the year French rail unions, including the ITF-affiliated CGT Cheminots, went on national strike in December 2013 in response to government reforms at rail operator SNCF, which the unions felt did not meet the promises made in 2012 by the minister of transport The signing of a collective agreement by the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions (CITUB) and the Confederation of Labour Podkrepa (CL Podkrepa) and managers at the Bulgarian State Railways (BDZ) in December 2011 ended a 20-day strike by workers over government plans for restructuring and job cuts. The restructuring of BDZ in January into a holding company, with separate subsidiaries for passenger services and freight operations, had led to the government announcing the dismissal of 2,000 workers and proposals to privatise the freight service After nearly three years dispute, an industrial court ruled in January 2013 that Botswana Railways had to halt its restructuring plans while it consulted with the Botswana Railways Amalgamated Workers Union. In December 2013, the ITF wrote to Botswana Railways to express concern regarding the treatment of some members of the union during the restructuring process, including the arbitrary dismissal of six union officials In March 2013, an EVG delegation from Germany held protest actions at Vodafone in London. Following privatisation, rail telecoms were taken over by the company, which threatened to cut nearly 400 jobs. The ITF and UK unions RMT, Communication Workers Union (CWU) and Prospect joined the demonstration On behalf of its Croatian affiliates the Railroad Engineers Trade Union of Croatia (RETUC) and Railwaymen s Trade Union of Croatia (RTUC), the ITF urged the Croatian government to engage in proper social dialogue over railway restructuring, job cuts and late wages in May 2013, after its failure to meet or respond to unions in 18 months In April 2012, railway workers and their unions participated in the ITF International railway workers action day to promote rail as a vital, safe and sustainable means of transport. Over 100 railway workers from 13 European countries staged a rally in Schengen to demand quality public services, integrated railway companies and better conditions for workers. Among other activities, unions in India held mass meetings and seminars about globalisation and the growth in outsourcing; the Rail and Maritime Transport Union (RMTU) of New Zealand hosted a safety meeting of rail unionists from Thailand, the Philippines, Korea, Taiwan and Japan; and unions in Zimbabwe organised meetings with management on health and safety issues and talked to commuters. 40

41 ITF report to congress on activities 176. The section prepared and circulated to affiliates a questionnaire on railway safety to look at company safety policies, industry safety standards, ways of reporting accidents and union participation in solving safety issues. Key findings were circulated in December. Following a series of serious rail accidents in 2013, the ITF drafted a policy statement on railway safety in January The ITF also launched a Facebook page and blog with regular information on developments in the railway industry and union activities Women workers 178. In railways, the increasing trend for outsourcing in particular of roles traditionally held by women in the industry such as catering and cleaning is affecting women s employment patterns and recruitment into the industry and activity in rail unions. In November 2010, the section organised a seminar on this issue. Case studies of unions organising outsourced workers were presented a joint report by representatives from AIRF and NFIR on organising contract workers in the Indian Railways and a report from the RMT in Great Britain on its rail cleaners campaign. Seafarers Piracy and armed robbery 179. While there was a sharp decline in the incidence of piracy off Somalia, piracy and armed robbery continue to endanger the lives of seafarers, particularly in West Africa. The section continued to play a leading role in developing an industry-wide campaign against piracy, through meetings, lobbying and other activity with government, military and shipowners. This included co-ordinating a petition for action against piracy, which attracted almost a million signatures and was presented to the IMO and the UN, and setting up the save our seafarers website at. In 2013, 22 West and Central African states signed the new IMO-backed code of conduct to combat the growing threat of piracy and armed robbery off their coasts. It followed the Djibouti code of conduct covering the western Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden. Signatories to the code will co-operate to prevent and stop a range of illegal activities at sea. In 2011 the ITF led a pan-industry alliance to launch the Maritime piracy humanitarian response programme (MPHRP) more can be read at. It contributed to a joint effort in 2013 to help the Iceberg 1 crew, released after nearly three years held hostage by Somali pirates. Also in 2013 the ITF actively participated on the IMO guidelines on measures relating to welfare of seafarers and their families affected by piracy off the coast of Somalia. Seafarers bill of rights The MLC is a great achievement for labour rights and also for genuine social dialogue. In a world dominated by international trade, the breaking down of regulation, the global financial crisis and increasingly invasive negligence and corruption, the MLC comes like a lighthouse and a beacon for the future. ITF Africa francophone co-ordinator Bayla Sow Maritime safety 180. A major highlight for the ITF s and others achievements was the coming into force in August 2013 of the groundbreaking Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006) the seafarers bill of rights. It establishes an international minimum standard with the potential to make a real difference to seafarers. The ITF supported its launch with a range of materials, including a dedicated web area, to help seafarers understand and apply the convention these are at The ITF is now intent on supporting its effective implementation and ensuring that even more countries ratify it ITF campaigning helped win a broadly positive revision of the IMO convention on standards of training, certification and 41

42 Chapter 3: ITF sections in action watchkeeping for seafarers, intended to modernise and harmonise with the MLC Through continued efforts at the IMO, the ITF successfully managed to keep the issue of exclusion of accommodation from gross tonnage in the tonnage measurement convention, which allows the possibility of training berths to be revisited. Following two years of lobbying at the IMO, the burden of administrative workloads on board vessels has been identified and a working group established to look into the issue. Cruise ships 182. The Miami guidelines adopted in 2011 formed the basis of ITF cruise ship policy. A model collective agreement for catering staff was finalised in 2013, following a year-long educational programme for seafarers working on cruise vessels on trade union rights and benefits, and the right to safe and decent working conditions. The seminars were provided by the ITF, Norwegian Seafarers Union (NSU), Federazione Italiana Trasporti-Comunicazioni Energia Trasporti (FIT-CISL) and other local unions The ITF contributed to discussions at the IMO on cruise safety procedures and training, following the Costa Concordia disaster in January Women seafarers in the cruise industry, who are increasingly important to union organising, developed a strong network, with increasing participation in training seminars, especially in the Philippines, Indonesia and India. Offshore 185. The oil and gas supply chain was identified as a strategic organising project for the section and the ITF saw some notable successes in its work on offshore operations. In June 2013, the ITF signed a global co-operation agreement with Bourbon Offshore, a major provider of marine services to the oil and gas industries in over 45 countries, with 458 vessels and a multinational workforce of 10, After Singapore affiliates and labour supply unions in the Philippines finally secured a national flag offshore support vessel agreement with Swire Offshore PTE, Swire s entered into CBA negotiations through the ITF with British and Danish affiliates to cover two new Cyprus flag wind farm vessels employing over 150 British and Danish crew. The ITF amended the offshore standard agreement to take into account for both new and renewal agreements, the provisions of the groundbreaking two-year Norwegian offshore service model agreement signed in May FOC campaign Mexico City policy roll-out 187. FOC campaign was given new impetus and direction by the adoption at congress 2010 of the Mexico City policy. Effective implementation required a different approach by the ITF inspectorate, awareness among affiliates and better working between the ITF and its affiliates. A review of ITF inspectors to see how they could operate more effectively led to the production of a new training matrix and performance measurement system, which was rolled out to all 133 inspectors during 2011 and 2012 through one-day seminars. The training also covered the future requirements of the MLC 2006, including how inspectors could strengthen their relationships with port state control officers A groundbreaking ITF maritime roundtable in September 2012 brought together 200 activists, leaders and future leaders from dockers and seafarers union in 51 countries. It set out to widen and improve the participation of affiliates in decisionmaking and activities in the FOC and POC campaigns. An evaluation of the event provided recommendations for future events on engaging more activists and future leaders in the FOC and POC campaigns, including the use of more interactive and informal workshops and better follow-up The ITF produced communication tools and training modules for affiliates to create awareness of the Mexico City policy on flags of convenience and help them to implement it. This included an interactive website tailored for dockers and seafarers 42

43 ITF report to congress on activities communication, The first training seminar took place at the end of 2013, followed by a survey to shape the 2014 programme, including a second seminar to be held in February It also completed a thorough implementation programme for bilateral agreements, funding and audit and seafarers charter (BAFASC) and national flag, to improve its ability to help affiliates implement policy changes to bilateral agreements and the seafarers charter. Guidelines were sent to ITF-agreement signatory unions and national flag unions The ongoing drive to improve standards in the Black Sea included the development of an agreement and wage-scale for for vessels operating exclusively in the area. Based on the rate for non-domiciled seafarers on national flagged vessels, it recognised the necessity to start with a realistic wage scale for the region with the intention to increase over time. In 2013 the Black Sea campaign week focused on outreach to seafarers, informing them of their rights and the work of the unions, and a special Black Sea edition of the Seafarers bulletin was published, with a particular focus on the new MLC Assistance to seafarers 192. The ITF s maritime weeks of action continued to assist vulnerable seafarers on FOC vessels. Teams of dockers, seafarers and inspectors visited ships, promoting the benefits of trade union membership, recovering back pay and facilitating improved conditions. In 2012, a 24-hour boycott of a vessel in Norway led to the owners signing an ITF agreement; in Korea the teams negotiated successfully to sign agreements on four vessels; and in India they signed a fleet agreement covering five vessels The total number of FOC vessels covered by ITF-approved collective agreements increased to 12,294 by the end of During , the ITF s 133 inspectors checked 27,174 vessels and recovered US$103,285,290 ( 60,296,381) in back pay for crews Over the period two new flags of convenience were declared the Turkish international register and the Faroe Islands register The FPC steering group established the TCC benchmark sub-group to conduct a review of the TCC benchmark, in line with the conclusions and recommendations of the FOC campaign review. West Africa project 196. Following a request from affiliates from five West African countries (Benin, Guinea Conakry, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Togo) an ITF FOC campaign training seminar was organised in Abidjan in July It aimed to develop activists from French speaking West African countries and enable them to carry out basic ship visits and contribute to the FOC campaign. Since the initial seminar, further field training has been undertaken in the countries and the project has expanded to include new contacts in Guinea Bissau and Nigeria. The ITF now has an active network of contacts undertaking regular ship inspections and assisting with handling seafarers claims in their ports. Fisheries Convention The ILO Work in Fishing Convention 2007 (C188) was adopted in By the end of 2012 only two countries had ratified it. In May 2012 the EU social partners signed an agreement to see most of its provisions transposed into EU law. Unfortunately, this excluded the self-employed. The ITF launched a Work in fishing convention (WIFC) awareness toolkit to support its affiliates as they campaigned to have convention 188 ratified and implemented by their governments. The toolkit is in English, French and Spanish In 2013, the ILO held a global dialogue forum for the Promotion of the Work in Fishing Convention 2007 (No.188) to discuss challenges of implementing it. Delegates were updated on the status of national efforts to implement and ratify the convention and reviewed activities to promote it, as well as sharing examples of good practice. The forum adopted four areas of consensus for future working. 43

44 Chapter 3: ITF sections in action Work with the IMO 199. The ITF s lobbying at industry international forums helped achieve the adoption of the agreement on the IMO torremolinos protocol in 2012, with the real possibility that international minimum standards on safety would be established for the fishing industry. And following sustained campaigning and lobbying by the ITF and others, the IMO International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Fishing Vessel Personnnel, 1995 (STCW-F 1995P) was ratified and entered into force in September Following years of campaigning for stronger regulation by the ITF-affiliated Maritime Union of New Zealand (MUNZ), the ITF and other unions to assist abused and exploited foreign crewmembers, the New Zealand government moved in May 2012 to ban foreign-flagged vessels from fishing in its waters. The move, based on the government s concern about the exploitation of crew on those ships including instances of crew living in conditions of near-slavery meant that all vessels fishing in its waters would have to fly the New Zealand flag, thus giving crew members the protection of the country s own labour standards, in particular the minimum wage. 44

47 ITF report to congress on activities 201. The ITF fisheries task force was established in 2013 to give political guidance to the joint ITF and International Union of Food Workers (IUF) organising programme, Catcher to counter Launched in 2011 with a survey showing very low levels of the industry covered by CBAs, Catcher to counter aims to drive up labour standards throughout the supply chain, through the ratification of convention 188. It will contribute towards the elimination of illegal fishing (IUU), the eradication of forced and child labour and the fight against anti-union practices in multinational companies This work involved extensive research in 2012 about existing levels of organisation and agreements. It included field research and workshops in Chile, Egypt, Norway, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Spain and the Philippines to map the industry and provide skills in organising and negotiating. Seventeen ITF maritime inspectors were also trained in ILO 188 and supply chain organising, to support the initiative. In Papua New Guinea the ITF/IUF programme leader trained nine organisers and 98 union leaders across five companies and continued to support eight company campaigns to secure agreements with fishing companies. By the end of 2012, union membership had soared to over 5,000 and the union was awarded full collective bargaining rights for all of its new members. The work led by the PNG Maritime and Transport Workers Union has proven that we can organise in this industry. Our strategy and tactics will vary from country to country, company to company, but we now have proven methodology. Our work in PNG is by no means over, we have only reached the starting line, but we have a strong and sustainable base from which to continue. Liz Blackshaw, programme leader 204. After almost a decade of struggle with employer RD Tuna in Papua New Guinea, workers finally won the right to form an independent union in They voted to establish a branch of the independent ITF and IUF-affiliated Maritime and Transport Workers Union (MTWU), and over 3,000 workers immediately pledged to join Women form an estimated 30 percent of workers in post catch sectors such as fish processing, so were central to the Catcher to counter ITF and IUF organising programme. A successful pilot with women organisers in Papua New Guinea in helped nearly 5,000 cannery workers, mainly women, win recognition as an independent union. It inspired male workers in the fishing companies to organise for union recognition. 47

48 Chapter 3: ITF sections in action Forced labour and human trafficking 206. The section continued to fight against human trafficking and forced and child labour in the fishing industry by providing evidence of abuse, co-operating with international bodies such as the International Organization of Migration (IOM) and Interpol, and participating in joint ILO/FAO activities. In 2010, it participated in an international conference to promote co-operation to end human and labour rights abuses by flag of convenience fishing vessels, following a report by the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) which showed such abuses were rife. In 2012 the section was represented at a multi-agency conference held in Turin to debate fisheries crime and collaboration with Interpol s project scale continued In June 2012, the ITF joined UNI Global Union in supporting a petition demanding that the retail giant Walmart investigated allegations of grave abuses taking place in some of its suppliers fish factories in Thailand. The petition was drawn up after a reported revolt in a shrimp-processing factory in the country, where foreign workers alleged that their passports had been seized and their wages slashed, leaving them in debt to the factory and with the status of indentured labourers. Promoted through the networks of both global unions, the petition secured over 100,000 signatures. Workers regained control of their passports and were able to return to their home countries To make information more easily available to affiliates, the ITF revamped the fisheries pages on its website and launched a new fisheries e-bulletin page. Inland navigation 209. As part of the joint ITF/ETF European river cruise campaign, an information campaign was carried out along key routes and the negotiating group succeeded in engaging the European River Cruise Association in discussions to eventually negotiate company agreements in order to secure minimum labour standards for the industry A key outcome of the section s 2012 conference was the establishment of SOMU Paraguay (SOMUPA) as an independent union for inland workers. The section, the Latin America office and Argentine affiliates helped SOMUPA start the process for government recognition and establish industrial relations with the inland waterways operators in Parana Basin. Argentinian and Paraguayan unions in the Paraguay inland navigation organising project took action in the corridor transporting freight between the two countries ITF seafarers section representatives visited Panama in January 2014 to prepare a detailed dossier against the violation of the Panama Maritime Authority (PMA) of international regulations and conventions, including seafarers certification the STCW, in the Panama Canal waters, which is affecting the labour conditions of seafarers servicing the canal. It was followed by a high level ITF mission including Stephen Cotton, ITF acting general secretary, and Paddy Crumlin, ITF president, in March 2014 to meet the Panamanian authorities to try and solve the issues for affiliates in Panama Inland navigation workers in Bangladesh achieved victory in their four-year battle over pay, waterways security and river navigability with the signing of a tripartite agreement in January The agreement came after a three-day strike and provided a significant pay rise. Inland waterways in Bangladesh employ around 500,000 workers. This is a triumph after your long struggle for decent wages, safe working places and respect for boatmen and boatwomen. Your work on one of the great rivers of the world is invaluable to the economy and well-being of Bangladesh and deserves adequate recognition by employers, the state and the general public alike. Nick Bramley, national secretary of Nautilus International, Switzerland branch and chair, ITF inland navigation section 48

49 ITF report to congress on activities 213. In October 2013, representatives of unions, employers and government attended a two-day seminar in Dhaka to discuss the problems faced by inland water transport workers on a number of fronts, including navigation infrastructure and the India- Bangladesh IWT protocol. The section chair helped the unions draw up an action plan An inland navigation event to map women transport workers in the Nile delta was held in Egypt in 2013 with sponsor support, to start to identify their participation and main concerns. 49

50 Chapter 4: ITF in the regions 50

51 ITF report to congress on activities Africa 215. Over the past few decades the transport sector has experienced industrial and employment changes, forcing transport unions in Africa to adopt innovative strategies to boost organising and membership recruitment. To support this, the region concentrated on improving its communications with affiliates and the ITF secretariat, and promoting better co-operation between affiliates ITF Africa improved the speed of its communications through stepping up its use of s and starting to use SMS texting, Skype and teleconferencing. A teleconference kick-started cross-section, joint organising initiatives by Mombasa affiliates in the northern corridor in the first exercise, 152 members were recruited. The co-ordination between Nairobi and Ouagadougou greatly improved due to the use of teleconference facilities on smartphones and the move of the Nairobi office to new, purposebuilt premises with teleconference facilities. A strengthened secretariat also illustrated the importance of the ITF in investing in upgrading its regional operations. Organising 217. The communication workshops for African affiliates saw some quick organising successes. In Liberia, the efforts of one young communicator led to the revival of the NCC and in Tanzania, the assistance of one young woman communicator resulted in the return to ITF affiliation of two major unions, the Dockworkers Union of Tanzania and the Tanzania Railway Workers Union The organising caravan developed by the Ouagadougou office and ITF affiliates delivered more members to unions in West Africa, where it travelled 4,000 kilometres over two weeks, visiting six countries - Burkina Faso, Niger, Ghana, Togo, Benin and Mali. Though resource intensive, it was very effective at raising awareness about ITF issues across corridors and hubs. In East Africa, organising activities included recruitment of foreign drivers, for example from Tanzania and Rwanda by la Fédération nationale des travailleurs du Transport (FNTT) in Burundi Other examples of reciprocal cross-border support between affiliates included SATAWU of South Africa and the Swaziland Transport and Allied Workers Union (STAWU) on the joint handling of a bullying multinational, Unitrans; and the Kenyan Long Distance Truckers Drivers Union and Rwanda affiliate ACPLRWA. In the northern corridor of East Africa, cross-border organising and recruitment delivered over 3,570 members, using HIV/AIDS and the wellness centres along the corridor as organising tools Organising young workers remained a challenge to many ITF affiliates, with an exception being the Dock Workers Union of Kenya, which organised specific conferences and projects. Joint sector organising activities in Mombasa involved women and young workers in recruiting new members during the 2011 International women s day and Labour day celebrations The region helped strengthen its affiliates by encouraging them to be more democratic and transparent and to involve the ITF more, and by promoting the role of NCCs in achieving union mergers. One success was the merger of the maritime workers union in Madagascar, SYGMMA, with a general transport federation, Fédération Nationale des Employés du Transport (FNET) In Zimbabwe, the long-defunct Zimbabwe Transport Workers Federation was revived, with a new constitution and the election of a new leadership team, following the ITF regional office s support seminar. ITF sensitisation carried out in September 2011 enabled unions to back new organising activities in road transport. It also appeared that the NCC was back on its feet and working towards once more being a federation More women participated in both local and international ITF activities, including organising along the northern transport corridor, the West Africa organising caravan, campaigns on violence against women at work, and union negotiations to entrench gender-sensitive and HIV/AIDS clauses in collective bargaining agreements (CBAs). There was a revival of women s committees and several women in leadership positions, including the election of the first woman union president of railways in Africa, in Botswana; the appointment of the first woman FOC inspector in Africa, in Mombasa; and the election of the president of the Liberia labour congress. 51

52 Chapter 4: ITF in the regions Tackling HIV/AIDS 224. The mainstreaming of HIV/AIDS into the region s work resulted in clauses on HIV/AIDS in many CBAs and workplace policies. Through educational activities and political visits to affiliates and NCCs, HIV/AIDS activities were for the first time used in the region as an organising tool and in East Africa alone helped unions recruit nearly 6,000 new members The launch of the USAFIRI network in Mombasa, Kenya was instrumental in efforts to combat the stigma around the disease, with many members speaking openly about their experiences (see para 81) The regional office answered many calls for international solidarity including from Iran, Morocco and Turkey and won wider ITF support for their affiliates struggles. Examples include ITF, ITUC and ILO support for the dockers strike in Abidjan, Cote d Ivoire; and help from the ITF Latin America office when African seafarers looking for jobs were trapped and enslaved ITF inspectors enabled six abandoned Kenyan seafarers in Asia to return home by negotiating the sale of their vessel to pay for their transport. They also helped the ITF regional office, along with the Kenya Maritime Authority (KMA), to negotiate for written contracts in line with ITF standards, pay rises and improved living and working conditions for some 15 African workers on an oil rig in the Indian Ocean In Rwanda, truck drivers spouses formed a spouses association based in the union building so that they could play a role in the fight against HIV/AIDS The ITF regional office supported the rebuilding of the Seafarers of Kenya (SUK) so that it could once again be a powerful union in Africa s fast growing oil and gas industry. The union had been suspended by the ITF when it had effectively been taken over by employers but was brought back into affiliation to effect change. Conference delegates democratically elected leaders in 2013, and young volunteer workers guided by a team of elder seafarers helped the union raise its paying membership from 32 to 1,074 in one year. Employers legal attacks on the volunteers were defeated, partly through the region s SMS campaign. Young workers 230. Young workers were central to efforts to improve communications and change attitudes in affiliates and in workplaces, particularly the 35 trained by the ITF between 2011 and SATAWU was the first affiliate in Africa to organise a young workers conference and was soon followed by others Affiliates in Mombasa, led by the Dock Workers Union, won sponsorship from the Danish trade union-founded nongovernmental organisation (NGO), the forum for international cooperation (FIC), for a three-year programme using ITF materials to train young workers to participate effectively in union activities. The FIC also trained young workers in information and communications technology (ICT) and computer skills and established a members information technology (IT) resource centre for improving electronic communication. This helped the union defeat casualisation and privatisation in Mombasa port, double membership to 6,000 and triple union income in two years. Arab world 232. Between 2008 and 2013 more than 35 transport unions from 11 Arab countries joined the ITF, and the region focused on capacity building. The Arab Spring and subsequent revolutions raised new challenges as affiliates representatives gathered for the regional committee meeting in early The ITF was the first global union federation (GUF) to respond to these regional developments, including the emergence of new, independent unions, particularly in Egypt. In that country it recruited two fixedterm roles - a programme officer to support ongoing work in Egypt s ports and airports and a women s organiser to support its capacity building programme and focus on leadership training, raising awareness about workplace rights, and empowering women within their trade unions. 52

53 ITF report to congress on activities 233. The region focused on the POC campaign, to build real and strong unions in the GNTs in the region. It held a series of events to strengthen the newly established unions in APM terminals in Aqaba, Tangiers, Bahrain, Port Said and Suez city. A pilot study of APM terminals in the region analysed their collective bargaining agreements to help union leaders and the ITF agree priorities to achieve CBAs and identify best practice they should include. The ambition was to reach a regional framework agreement (RFA) for dockers within three years, by Palestine and Iraq remained high on the agenda. The ITF ran national seminars in both countries for affiliates unable to travel elsewhere and continued to develop an organising facility for truck drivers in Palestine, where hundreds were organised The region hosted or organised many conferences. At the first ITF Arab World regional conference, in Jordan in 2010, 100 delegates participated, representing 32 unions from 10 countries and discussing subjects including HIV, gender, climate change and transport, migrant workers and young workers. It was followed by the ITF Arab World women s conference, in which 40 women participated from the same unions, and which established the ITF s first elected Arab World women's committee Delegates at the second regional conference, in 2013, discussed the results of research into the impact on transport workers of political changes arising from the Arab Spring and the civil aviation strategy for anti-union Gulf states. At the region s first youth conference in 2012, 30 delegates from transport unions in 11 countries elected a regional youth committee and took part in capacity building and training seminars Political changes in Gaza meant that leaders of the Gaza Bus Drivers Union (BDU) and the PGTWU felt that 2012 their membership needed rebuilding. In November, the ITF regional representative helped organise an ITUC solidarity mission to Gaza and the ITF provided financial support to the BDU. The union office was finished and due to be fully operated before the end of Engaging women and young workers 238. Women in the Arab World, and in Iraq in particular, continued to face violence and sexual harassment. Unions welcomed the publication of the ITF s violence against women guide in Some participated in the ITF s No to violence against women day in November 2013: in Egypt, a joint union event attracted participants from government, NGOs and the media; while in Palestine, the women and young workers departments of the General Union of Transport Workers organised two workshops for women in the road transport and courier sectors, with many of the 30 participants reporting their own experiences of violence and sexual harassment The new ITF Egyptian women's transport network used International women s day and an awareness campaign on early detection of breast cancer to raise awareness of unions In Jordan, the General Trade Union of Workers in Air Transport and Tourism ran seminars in companies to raise awareness of legal rights and social security laws and encourage women s participation in union elections. It also established a dedicated Facebook page Union women s committees were active. Examples include running campaigns for early detection of breast cancer in Kuwait (Workers Union of Kuwait Airways & Subsidiaries); establishing the women s network in Iraqi ports, expanding its communication with global networks and running organising and awareness raising sessions for women workers in Kurdistan (Workers Union & Affiliation of Iraqi Ports Company); and fighting for reduced working hours for pregnant and breastfeeding women (Union Workers and Staff of Yemen Airways). In Algeria women s committees were established in all transport sectors In Palestine, women s membership of the General Union of Transport Workers increased by 20 percent and their participation in training, campaigns and protests rose by 30 percent, following a national training seminar. This meant that women made up most of the membership of the union s new youth department. 53

54 Chapter 4: ITF in the regions Engaging women and young workers continued 243. The region held its first meeting for young workers in 2012, where 30 activists elected a regional young workers committee to co-ordinate and carry out activities. The ITF secretariat and the regional office organised activities on capacity building, training and union awareness and network building The activists agreed to create national youth committees to inform and support the regional work. This resulted in an increase in solidarity and youth activism in several countries particularly Bahrain, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco through direct contact with young workers, organising young workers at national level, and building and strengthening relations with union leaders The Arab World office supported a group of young activists to attend ITF meetings internationally, to strengthen their role at that level and to provide opportunities to network with other young activists. Asia Pacific 246. The effect of the global economic downturn in the Asia Pacific region was a roll back in gains in decent livelihoods and workers rights. It meant additional hardships for transport workers, particularly those in precarious jobs. Economic recovery was patchy across the region. And like other regions, there was an increased drive for privatisation and deregulation. Revitalising communications with affiliates 247. Resources were put into improving and revitalising communication with affiliates for example, through a new ITF Asia Pacific Facebook page ( a new Asia Pacific blog on the ITF website and the publication of global delivery briefings in English and Tamil and a South Asian version of the POC campaign publication Organise, in English and Hindi. In January 2014, the Delhi office ran a communications workshop for 26 participants from 18 affiliates to improve their ability to run effective organising campaigns using modern communication tools. Organising 248. Organising remained a key priority in the region, with the focus on ports, global and express delivery workers and private and low cost aviation companies. Projects were supported in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Hong Kong, PNG, Indonesia, Malaysia, Tonga, Vanuatu and Myanmar. Special attention was given to organising and integrating women and young workers in union activities, and raising awareness on HIV/AIDS as a workplace issue The organising project in DHL Express India Private Limited continued to achieve progress and DHL units at Delhi, Kolkata and Jaipur were unionised and affiliated to the ITF, with a charter of demands submitted for negotiations with the company. Organising efforts elsewhere continued. East Asia movements 250. Structural changes resulting from the regional review included creating a full-time head of the ITF Tokyo office. The office organised three East Asia maritime action weeks in 2013 at major ports in Japan, Korea, Russia and Taiwan, with joint inspection teams checking and enforcing decent pay and working conditions on board vessels and promoting the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC) to crew members. 54

55 ITF report to congress on activities 251. ITF affiliates in Japan were instrumental in helping victims of the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan in March In December 2010, Japanese government ministers joined ITF maritime, road and rail affiliates at the ITF container cargo working group meeting in Tokyo, to discuss the importance of establishing global safety standards for intermodal container transportation. In 2013 the 13th East Asia dockworkers unions meeting in November in Toyohashi brought together over 60 delegates and observers from Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan to share experiences, discuss strategies for strengthening international solidarity, and a resolution to work under the ITF umbrella to establish an international framework agreement for all ports Transport unions in Japan won a long-fought battle to implement better public transport legislation after more than 10 years of struggle. Thanks to the efforts of the Japanese Council of Transport Workers Unions (KOUN-ROKYO), to which many ITF affiliates belong, the basic law on transport policies was finally passed in November In South Korea, the national assembly passed a controversial law permitting multiple unions in enterprises from July 2011 and withdrawing the facility of a full-time paid union official. The law gives workers a choice of unions but has led to a fragmentation of the labour movement because of the mushrooming of rival unions and multiple new enterprise level unions away from the established national centres. The fall in the number of union officials adversely affected union finances. Affiliate successes 255. Joint action by trade unions In Indonesia helped win the National Social Security Law (BPJS) in 2011, which came into effect in January 2014 and will provide health insurance to all Indonesians and expatriates who have worked in the country for at least six months. By July 2015, it will also provide accident and life insurance and a pension scheme. Another new government regulation in 2013 will benefit 16 million outsourced workers, around 40 percent of Indonesia s workforce, by regulating the length of time a company can hire an outsourcing company and managing holiday allowances, annual leave and social security benefits In India, in 2012 and 2013, leading trade unions jointly organised general strikes, which were widely supported across the country and affected the transport sector. Their 10-point demands included measures to limit price rises, increased employment generation and universal social security cover for organised and unorganised workers. The strikes revitalised the unions and helped forge greater unity between them. The government responded by widening access to social security, proposing to set wages in the rural employment guarantee programme at state minimum wage levels at least, and appointing a pay commission to review the wages of five million central government employees, including 1.3 million employees of Indian Railways. Women 257. Organising and integrating women transport workers in unions was a priority, with many unions establishing women s structures and representation on decision-making forums A successful regional women s conference in May 2013 set the work agenda for the next four years. It agreed to support a women s network and committed to increasing women s participation, including a 30 percent rate at all meetings and seminars: other ITF regions may follow suit. The region also benefited from the appointment of Nishi Kapahi to lead both ITF education and women s work, and it secured donor funds for specific women s activities The rising level of violence against women and girls and the brutal rape in Delhi 2012 mobilised transport unions to express anger and demand change to protect women. Women participated in a rally against violence against women at the ITF Worldwide women s conference in New Delhi in January

56 Chapter 4: ITF in the regions 260. The Asia Pacific regional office also organised two gender sensitisation programmes in 2012 and 2013 which brought equal numbers of male and female participants together to create better understanding and a congenial working environment both at workplace and union levels In 2012, 120 women port workers attended a workshop run by ITF affiliate the Transport and Dock Workers Union in Mumbai, India, to tackle ongoing workplace issues such as restroom provision and the need for flexible working arrangements to allow for childcare responsibilities. In 2013, the ITF Delhi office produced a film entitled Breaking the silence on sexual harassment of women workers in India, which won the best film award at the Woodpecker Film Festival in New Delhi. Young workers 262. The region continued to integrate the youth programme into its core activities, with an emphasis on young workers in regional conferences and summer schools. In November 2012 a three-day workshop in Bangkok brought together 29 young from unions in 10 countries. In May 2013 at the ITF Asia Pacific regional conference in Hong Kong, a young transport workers meeting was organised and a regional youth committee set up In November 2013, 154 young workers from 38 unions and seven South and South East Asian countries attended the young transport workers conference in India to discuss mobilising and organising, networking and communication and solidarity and internationalism. Solidarity 264. The region was involved in a great deal of solidarity action, with three examples highlighted here An industrial dispute in 2010 in a section of cabin and cockpit crew at Japan Airlines following restructuring resulted in 15,000 dismissals and redundancies. In response to a complaint filed with the ILO committee on freedom of association, the ILO found Japan Airlines to be in infringement on ILO convention numbers 87 and 98 and called on the Japanese government and the company to adhere to the ILO recommendations and speedily settle the dispute In 2011 the military government in Fiji unlawfully detained union leaders on charges of sedition and unlawful assembly. The Essential National Industries Decree resulted in the de-unionisation of Air Pacific crew and the decimation of the ITF-affiliated Transport Workers Union. The ITF and ITUC demanded immediate restoration of human and trade union rights in the country and the ITF continued to assist the TWU to rebuild The stalemate continued at the end of 2013 over efforts by the Maritime Union of New Zealand (MUNZ) since 2011 to renew its CBA with local authority-owned Ports of Auckland Ltd. The union was determined to resist the company s plans for full flexibility in work hours and rosters and greater use of casual labour. The situation was unchanged despite a successful strike by MUNZ, court victory in 2012 that forced facilitated bargaining, solidarity action from ITF affiliates, and support from both the public and the company s largest customer, Maersk Line. Education project benefits rail union in Indonesia 268. ITF affiliate the Indonesian Railway Workers Union (SPKA) benefited from an ITF-SASK supported education project started in 2009 to build and develop democratic unions. Representing over 28,000 members, the SPKA had a difficult transition from being a company and government controlled union, becoming more independent and active. In 2013, a woman official became general secretary and the union has regularly held democratic elections and developed a regional structure. The SPKA had expanded its activities to organise outsourced workers in the six subsidiary companies of Indonesian Railways, which deal with airport-city links and logistics, tourism, catering and urban commuter services. 56

57 ITF report to congress on activities Strong unions help organise the weak 269. In Chennai, India the strong, organised railway workers union, SRMU (AIRF) extended organisational support to unionise the unorganised road transport sector workers in the periphery of railway stations. In 2013, auto rickshaw drivers at Tambaram railway station were uprooted when a private radio cab service set up business there. The SRMU was quick to take up their case and eventually the railway management agreed to allow the drivers to set up a passenger pick up stand. This quickly led around 210 auto rickshaw and lorry drivers to organise under a new Auto, Taxi and Private Sector Drivers' HMS Federation. Within six months the membership had swelled to around 1,600 members and the union affiliated to the ITF. The SRMU also supported the state passenger road transport union in its disputes and struggles. Latin America and the Caribbean 270. Most countries in Latin America suffered less than other regions from the global recession and enjoyed relatively rapid recovery, although some used the crisis to reduce working conditions. There was also a continued consolidation of democratic governments; many of them implementing social policies that protect labour rights and improve the processes of citizen participation. However, governments and trade unions were concerned about renewed attempts to destabilise progressive governments, notably in Chile and Guatemala. Violence against trade unionists fell in the region, except in Colombia, Guatemala and Honduras The region focused on strengthening trade unions. It successfully encouraged a move away from company-based unions to national industrial unions and it promoted co-operation and mergers between unions to give them more influence and negotiating power, especially in Colombia, Paraguay, Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Peru and Venezuela. As a result, in November 2012, 17 trade unions and additional non-unionised workers groups voted to create a National Federation of Transport Workers in Venezuela. All transport unions were expected to affiliate, after which, in a second phase, member unions would be reorganised by sector into national transport unions. The meeting, organised by the ITF Americas regional office, with the support of Francisco Torrealba (Member of Parliament and president of ITF-affiliated union FENTRAFEVE), was the culmination of years of work to reorganise the transport trade union movement from a low base. The new federation launched in February Deregulation and the economic crisis affected the Caribbean, where tourism is one of the leading industries. The ITF continued to promote the ratification of the maritime labour convention in the Caribbean to benefit seafarers and encourage the creation of bona fide seafarers unions in countries like St. Vincent and the Grenadines While democracy and the economies of Central America continued to improve, the coup in Honduras and the illegal government in power created challenges for unions there. Trade unions faced struggles against hostile governments in Guatemala and Panama Collective negotiations in Mercosur (South America s leading trade bloc) increased in several countries, particularly Uruguay, where the government forced companies to negotiate with trade unions, even when an ITF-affiliate was illegally excluded As part of the strategic work undertaken by the ITF, the region established and facilitated national co-ordination committees in several countries, including Honduras, Peru and Venezuela, to enable affiliates to work more closely together The region promoted the ITF s HIV/AIDS campaign both to prevent the spread of the disease and as an organising tool. Unions in Mexico, Panama and other countries set up HIV/AIDS networks. The regional office ran seminars and workshops to encourage affiliates to spread awareness and to get HIV/AIDS clauses into their collective agreements with companies The regional office supported the LATAM union network, set up after the merger of LAN Chile and TAM Brazil, to build the 57

58 Chapter 4: ITF in the regions union presence in the company and work for collective agreements. It also supported the move to a national industrial model of its El Salvador affiliate SITIAPES. In Guatemala and Panama, affiliates Unión Sindical de Trabajadores de Aeronáutica Civil (USTAC) and Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de la Industria de la Aviacion Civil y Similares de la Republica de Panama (SIELAS) affiliated to other sectors to prioritise unionisation and collective bargaining in civil aviation The section used HIV/AIDS seminars and workshops to strengthen relationships with railway unions in Bolivia and help them reorganise, with support from La Fraternidad in Argentina. It began a project to strengthen unions in the essential railroad sector in countries including Venezuela, Peru and Bolivia Argentina and Brazil saw significant advances in the process of collective negotiation and protection of workers in the fisheries sector, while in Peru and Chile the regional office, together with the fisheries section, began a project that is aimed at promoting the merger of trade unions at national level and helping them implement organising campaigns and collective bargaining. This project has benefited from mentoring by (SOMU) in Argentina, which has also purchased a fishing vessel with a simulator to be used for training in fishing and catch processing The rights and social/labour conditions of workers who navigate through Mercosur inland waterways depend on the flag of their country and their nationality, with Argentina and Brazil having the best conditions. To help reduce these differences, the ITF, with the support of SOMU, implemented a project to create a trade union to organise and represent ratings in Paraguay. Despite a large, hostile campaign in the media by companies, the government and some yellow unions, the project achieved early results, including a four-fold real increase in crew wages The maritime industry in the region recovered from the global economic crisis to a point where by the end of 2013, it operated volumes of cargo similar to pre-crisis levels. However, the region had already lost most of its vessels to foreign flags of convenience with crews of Asian and European seafarers. Despite attacks on the offshore industry in Chile, Brazil and Mexico, the industry managed to keep seafarers from the region employed in conditions compatible with, and even better than, the international average. In Argentina, Decree 1010 reclaimed employment for Argentinian seafarers but the process of re-flagging had not begun. Dockers 282. There was considerable activity in the dockers sector, as a result of several concession and privatisation processes in Central America and Peru. In Chile, the government s support of private operators in port terminals increased unfair competition with the public infrastructure, and raised fears of full privatisation. In Colombia, the SNTT an amalgamated transport workers union organised the dockers in Cartagena and Buenaventura, successfully obtaining the first collective agreement in over 20 years. In Costa Rica, the ITF supported a change of trade union model to enable affiliates to represent unprotected stevedores in the ports of Limón and Moin, which the government continued to try to privatise. In El Salvador, there was a welcome move by the government to begin open dialogue with ITF-affiliate Sindicato de Trabajadores de la Industria Portuaria de El Salvador (STIPES) to improve its collective agreement and promote negotiations with other private companies In Honduras, where the government intensified its offer of concessions to private operators for the container and bulk-cargo terminal, ITF affiliates Sindicato de Trabajadores de la Empresa Nacional Portuaria (SITRAENP) and Sindicato Gremial de Trabajadores del Muelle (SGTM) stepped up their opposition to these plans. In Guatemala, where the government strongly backs port privatisation, it suspended normal administrative procedures and installed an almost martial-law system. Sindicato de Trabajadores de Empresa Portuaria Quetzal (STEPQ) lost its long fight to keep port installations under public administration when the government granted a concession to TCB. In Mexico, affiliates continued to operate despite the government s removal of labour rights. And in Peru, the region supported its affiliate s efforts to win back representation rights in the port of Callao, operated by APM and DPW, to negotiate a collective agreement with APM. 58

59 ITF report to congress on activities Europe and the ETF 284. This section highlights key areas of work of the ETF, the ITF s European arm. Its work from was strongly shaped by the global economic and social crises and the austerity measures throughout Europe which saw attacks on the European social model and on social and trade union rights The ETF and its affiliates proposed alternative solutions to Europe s austerity measures through building alliances and participating in the Alternative Summit at the Athens Joint Social Conference in June They worked with other European trade union federations (ETUFs), for example demonstrating in Brussels with the European Federation of Building and Woodworkers and European Federation of Food, Agricultural and Tourism Trade Unions against social dumping The ETF continued to challenge the outcomes of the European Court of Justice rulings on Viking, Laval, Rüffert and Luxembourg to reinforce in European law the principle that fundamental trade union rights prevail over economic freedoms. Key developments in the ETF sections: Aviation 287. ETF lobbying resulted in the European Council agreeing in December 2011 that cabin crews and pilots would be subject to the social security rules of the country in which they usually start and end their work Successful lobbying led, in December 2012, to the European Parliament s rejecting the commission s proposal for a revised ground handling regulation and in April 2013 it adopted a new report which contained many ETF requests. Dockers 289. One of the main achievements was to establish a sectoral social dialogue committee (SSDC) for the port sector in The SSDC s work programme is focused on health and safety, training, promotion of female employment in ports The ETF launched a project in 2012 to identify general trends in collective agreements, including in the major global operators and at sub-regional level in the EU port sector. The project concluded in September 2013, with a final report looking at 25 countries In 2010, the ETF created a network of dockers unions in the Mediterranean as part of a move to improve European participation in ITF activities around the European operations of the big terminal operators. These ports are a priority as they are particularly affected by social dumping because some of the major operators plan to move to nearby countries that offer cheaper labour. Fisheries 292. In May 2013, the ETF, Europêche and Cogeca formally adopted the social partners agreement (SPA) to transpose ILO work in fisheries convention 188 into EU legislation. The SPA aims to help establish a level playing field for fishers working and living conditions and encourage EU member states to ratify the convention. Once adopted, it will become EU law In 2010 social partners discussed the interpretation of ILO standards in the fisheries sector, such as salaries and working time, which controversially led to conflicts over the social clause in fishing partnership agreements (FPAs) between the EU and third countries. An agreement with employers associations on a new text for the social clause was reached at the end of 2013, although discussions were still going on regarding its application. 59

60 Chapter 4: ITF in the regions Inland waterways 294. After seven years of stop-start negotiations on working time, in February 2012 the social partners formally signed a European agreement on working time for nautical, hotel, restaurant and catering staff on passenger or cargo transport ships in inland waterways across Europe. This was a major achievement for the section. The agreement covers weekly working time, night working, holidays and daily and weekly rest periods. Railways 295. The ETF launched a major campaign against the recast of the first railway package. ETF activity included lobbying members of European parliament (MEPs) and organising a 1,000-strong demonstration in Brussels. It resulted in the minimum services provision being dropped but the rest of the proposal was approved by the European Council in October 2012 and must be implemented in national legislation by June The ETF lobbied against the political elements of the new fourth railway package adopted by the commission in January 2013, which introduced market opening and liberalisation for domestic rail passenger transport and separated existing integrated railway companies. The ETF was organising a demonstration in February 2014 ahead of the EP plenary vote on the issue of minimum services in the case of strikes The social partners Women in railways (WIR) project from December 2010 to April 2012 aimed to increase women s participation in the sector. It held two thematic conferences for unions and railway companies in 2011 and a final conference discussed its conclusions. The project produced a Good practices and implementation guide and a Comparative study, which can be downloaded online. Urban public transport 298. In 2010 the ETF and UITP (International Association of Public Transport) surveyed public transport companies, employers associations and trade unions to get a picture of violence, aggression and vandalism in the public transport sector and published the results in The ETF and UITP also ran a 12-month joint project to promote women s employment in local public transport (WISE), managed by the German VDV Academy. Road 299. In July 2011 the ETF and the International Road Transport Union (IRU) issued a joint demand that the commission and EU member state governments address the critical shortage of parking areas and rest facilities along Europe s road transport network, which were undermining the driving and rest time regulation and left professional drivers exposed to violent night attacks The ETF s European action day in May 2013 to say no! to further liberalisation in the cabotage sector in which 10,000 trade unionists and workers took part by telephoning, faxing, ing and tweeting the commission helped the ETF and IRU achieve victory for their two-year campaign. Success came when it was announced there would be no further opening of the road transport market under the current Commission (up to 2014) and that enforcing current rules would be the priority The Cross-road project launched in October 2011, with EU funding, and ran until March The final outcome consisted of guidelines for cross-border legal representation of non-resident drivers and leaflets to help ETF affiliates participate in the system of cross-border co-operation. 60

61 ITF report to congress on activities 302. A campaign on Norbert Dentressangle (ND) was launched in 2012 to support 30 Polish lorry drivers dismissed following a strike by Solidarnosc at the company base in Zielona Gora, Poland. Some 350 Polish drivers organised a prolonged strike to demand better working conditions and the renegotiation of their collective agreement. The campaign contributed to the successful CBA negotiations and prompted the road transport branch of Solidarnosc to affiliate to the ITF and the ETF. Maritime transport 303. The section completed a 12-month project at the end of 2010 to enhance training and recruitment in shipping with a view to upgrading seafarers competencies to better respond to the industry s needs The ETF continued to campaign for a directive on manning conditions to guarantee equal working rights and conditions for EU and non-eu crews on ferries operating in Europe. In 2010, the section urged the EC to implement the so-called ITF Athens policy by means of a community regulation: this would give crews employed on ferries trading between EU countries conditions of employment on par with or superior to those applicable in the countries concerned In September 2010, European dockers and seafarers unions launched a campaign led by the ITF to improve the safety and working conditions on board ferries operating in Europe. A fair ferries week of action took place in the North Sea and British Channel, with unions inspecting working conditions and handing out leaflets to passengers The section continued to be active with regard to ILO conventions, including lobbying the EC to encourage a speedy ratification by member states of ILO convention185 on the seafarers identity card, and pressing national governments to sign ILO MLC, Women transport workers 307. The ETF Gender equality action plan for prioritised shifting more gender equality work to affiliates and seeing all ETF sections and committees develop gender equality as part of their work programmes. A major concern was the impact of the economic crisis on women transport workers As part of the 18-month TRANSUNION project on climate change, youth and gender equality, in which female activists and shop stewards as well as union officials, participated, the ETF launched its gender training package for workers and trade union activists in October 2012 to improve gender equality in the workplace and increase women s participation in trade union activities The ETF women s committee organised a series of country visits, including to Hungary to visit women representatives from rail, road and public transport affiliates and to Turkey to support women in Turkish Airlines and the Turkish railway company In the ETF sections, maritime focused on making the shipping industry friendlier to women while a survey in 2011 of female dockworkers led to the formation of a gender network in ports. A social partners project on women in local public transport (WISE) to promote women s employment produced a report and recommendations in December 2013, which are available at European works councils 311. In 2011, the ETF completed its European works council (EWC) Infotools project to build a user-friendly website for transport EWCs. The website offers practical guidelines, tools and information and has a section for starting-up new EWCs. 61

62 Chapter 4: ITF in the regions 312. An ETF training workshop in 2010 brought together unionised members of 10 EWC select committees. The ETF offered assistance with negotiating EWC agreements in nine companies, including Aviapartner, Carlson Wagon Lit and Easy Jet, and offered support to five EWCs: British Airways, DP DHL, FedEx, UPS, and Dubai Ports World In 2011, after a year-long trade union project exploring the potential to set up a EWC in Kühne & Nagel, an EWC was finally established and met for the first time in February This marked a success for the ETF s initiative to help create Europe-wide employee structures. In January 2013, after two years of re-negotiations, the DP DHL EWC finalised the EWC agreement and took a strong stand on the ongoing dispute in DHL Turkey. Transunion: transport trade unions preparing change 314. In November 2010, the ETF launched a 15-month project called Transport trade unions preparing change for a fair and sustainable transport sector (TRANSUNION). In co-operation with affiliate FTTUB, the European Academy for Environmentally Friendly Transport (EVA) and the ITF, the project aimed to help transport trade unions to better address the challenges of climate change and the need to attract more women and young workers into unions and the sector. The project produced a report on transport and climate change; created a European young transport workers network, along with best practice guidelines to attract more young workers to the sector; and developed a training package to be used by the ETF and its affiliates in order to integrate more women to the industry. European transport policy 315. In November 2011, the ETF adopted its position on the commission s recently published White paper, roadmap to a single European transport area - towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system. The White Paper presented initiatives to build a competitive transport system, to reduce Europe's dependence on imported oil and cut carbon emissions in transport by 60 percent by The ETF supported some of the measures proposed in the paper but had serious concerns about others, particularly the lack of a social and human dimension in the commission s approach. 62

69 Part 2: Membership and Relations with Affiliated Organisations Declared membership 2.1 It is a constitutional obligation for affiliates to declare to the ITF their full fee paying membership in the transport industry. 2.2 Every year the ITF carries out a membership survey in order to update the membership records for all its affiliated unions. This is important so the ITF can ensure that each union: (a) is billed for the correct fees; and (b) receives the correct voting rights at Congress and other governance meetings. 2.3 On 01 May 2014, affiliated membership totalled 4,718,832 members from 696 unions in 148 countries. This compares with a total affiliated membership of 4,694,935 members from 760 unions in 154 countries in May Total affiliated membership has therefore increased by 0.5% over the four year period with the number of affiliated unions decreasing by 8.4%. Minimum membership 2.5 The Board s decision, which became effective in January 1998, to establish a minimum membership of 1,000 for the purposes of calculating affiliation fees due, led to a small number of unions making the decision to disaffiliate from the ITF for financial reasons. In some cases smaller unions have reached an agreement to form federations or otherwise join together for ITF membership purposes. This, together with the growth in importance of national coordinating committees, encourages closer working relationships between transport unions and is generally to be supported. The rule also led to many small unions applying for a concession on fee payments. Maximum membership 2.6 The ITF Executive Board in 1999 endorsed the rule that a union paying ITF affiliation fees below the 100% standard rate would not be allowed to affiliate more than 100,000 members. However in 2014, the General Secretary, with the support of the Executive Board following debate in the Management Committee Membership Working Group, agreed to the Nigerian Road Transport Union s request to affiliate 200,000 members, at the 10% rate, with the proviso that the union would only have voting rights for 100,000 of those members. 2.7 Maximum membership and capping affiliation fees remains under discussion within the Management Committee Membership Working Group. The group aims to find a model that will allow affiliates to declare the full extent of their transport membership, whilst ensuring fairness and balance in terms of voting rights. Payment of affiliation fees 2.8 The ITF Executive Board has continued to take the view that payment of affiliation fees is an important statement of commitment by unions to the ITF. Unions which are substantially in arrears are normally suspended from ITF membership. However, in October 2013, the Board agreed to hold off on suspending unions with 2 years or more fees outstanding, to allow the work of the Membership Working Group and discussions at a regional level with those unions to progress.

70 2.9 Applications for ITF affiliation are also declared lapsed unless the 6 months fees required by the ITF Constitution are paid within 12 months of them being accepted by the Executive Board. Fees concessions 2.10 Under Rule XVII (3) of the ITF Constitution, the Executive Board may, at its discretion, authorize an affiliated organisation to pay affiliation fees at less than the standard rate if the Board is satisfied that the financial situation of the affiliate or the low standard of earnings of its membership justifies such a concession In line with procedures established in 1996, in 2011 each union wishing to pay fees at a concessionary rate was asked to apply or reapply. Unions were asked to submit information supporting their application (for example, average income of their members, union income, etc.). This information is used by the Secretariat in reaching a recommendation on the level of concession to be applied. The Board requires one such application to be submitted when a union applies for affiliation and once during each inter- Congress period. The Board uses the national income per head Gross National Product (GNP) of each country as the starting point for its decision and takes account of any special circumstances of the union In October 2013, following recommendations from the lay auditors and discussions within the Management Committee Membership Working Group (MC MWG), the Executive Board agreed the establishment of a permanent Membership Vetting Group (MVG), comprising the General Secretary and three affiliate representatives. The MVG s role is to consider and make recommendations to the Executive Board on (a) applications for concessions; (b) the writing off of unpaid affiliation fees; and (c) suspension of affiliates in arrears with affiliation fees. Since October 2013, all applications for concession have gone through the MVG, before final decision by the Board Concessionary rates will remain in place for affiliates until the end of In the meantime, the MC MWG will review the concessions system and make recommendations to the Executive Board in April Unions wishing to receive concessions will be obliged to submit new applications for concessions during 2015, to be considered by the Membership Vetting Group and submitted to the Executive Board at its meeting in October The Executive Board reviews the status of all unions paying fees at a concessionary rate each October The proportion of ITF affiliated unions paying fees at less than the standard rate has continued to rise during the inter- Congress period.
