Fair Tugging Campaign

19 Mar 2019

Our Fair Tugging campaign has kicked off! We want to fight back against the policies of global tug operators and the aggressive competition that is pushing down workers’ terms and conditions. We demand a level playing field for tug workers in Europe.

ETF affiliates across the continent are joining the campaign with tugs in Belgium, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands and the UK already flying the Fair Tugging flag!
