EU Institutions must act to end social dumping in aviation ETF and ITF have sent an open letter to leaders in the EU Institutions. Statement 8 Aug 2018
Lashing Campaign Lashing is a complex and hazardous task in ports, but a vital one to ensure that cargo, ships and seafarers reach their destination safely. That is why seafarers’ collective bargaining agreements signed by the ITF and its affiliate unions include a clause stating that lashing can only be done by qualified dockers unless otherwise agreed by the local dockers’ unions.

Young Dockers Young workers must become active in their unions. This is why the ETF Dockers’ Section started working in cooperation with the ETF Youth Committee on activating a network of young dockers in international union work. Campaign 6 Aug 2018
Dockers’ training and qualifications Training and qualifications are a core topic for the ETF Dockers’ Section. This project gathered and disseminated knowledge on the different training and qualification systems in place in the EU, making ETF and our affiliates leading experts on the issue. We also organised debates with our partners, such as port authorities and operators, along with training centres and institutional actors. Projects 27 Jul 2018
