- About these links
What is the ITF?
The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) is a global organisation representing around four and a half million transport workers worldwide. Unions – currently 624 from 142 countries – affiliate to the ITF, which is able to carry their interests into the global arena.
Founded in London in 1896 the ITF is one of 10 Global Union Federations.
More details are available on the main ITF website.
What is the ITF Congress?
The four yearly Congress is the ITF’s supreme decision making event, at which delegates from its affiliated trade unions are able to vote to determine the course the ITF will take until the next Congress. It elects the ITF’s Executive Board, President, Vice Presidents and General Secretary; approves – or not – the organisation’s last four years’ work; and sets the agenda for the next four years. It also approves reports from the ITF’s industrial sections, which meet during the congress. The event is open to delegates, observers, press and public.
