Read reports of activities organised for the Action Day:
Quality Public Services - Action Now!
On 23 June 2011, ITF affiliates will come together under the slogan “Promote Public Transport” to take a variety of actions in order to defend and advance quality public transport services.
This Action Day marks the launch of a joint Global Union initiative for the promotion of Quality Public Services (QPS) that will help to build strong, equitable and sustainable communities. The ITF is working closely together with the PSI (Public Services International) and other members of the Global Union family on this joint long-term campaign, which follows the successful QPS conference that was held in Geneva in October 2010.
The Action Day also encompasses the traditional ITF action day for railway workers that is held in spring, which has been shifted this year to coincide with this event.
The ITF strongly encourages all unions who represent passenger transport workers to participate.
