- About these links
Since 1988 World AIDS Day has been commemorated around the globe on 1st December - to raise awareness of the global AIDS epidemic caused by the spread of HIV infection.
HIV/AIDS has a triple impact on the transport sector. It affects the transport workers, their families, communities, the enterprise concerned and the economy as a whole. Some groups of workers are particularly more vulnerable to acquiring and transmitting HIV infection because of the nature and conditions of the work. Transport workers are such a group-whether they work on land, sea or air routes. Although transport workers all over the world are vulnerable to HIV/AIDS, little attention has been paid to reducing that vulnerability. It is now well established that without the active involvement of transport workers and their unions, it is impossible to develop a viable response to the pandemic.
Starting from World AIDS Day, 1st December 2006, the ITF has been asking all its unions to join in a long-term campaign to get involved in HIV/AIDS programmes and activities to prevent future infections and provide care and support to infected members and their families.
The objectives of this campaign have been to move HIV/AIDS into unions core programmes and activities and to encourage unions to lobby to establish HIV as a workplace issue. The ITF strongly believes that, with the organisational strength of over 600 affiliated unions in 142 countries, we can make a difference and keep transport workers and their families healthy and safe from HIV/AIDS.
