ITF unions are leading the fight for acceptable standards for men and women working in ports and docks around the world – one of the most hazardous working environments there is. This work is known as the Ports of Convenience Campaign.
Ports are key hubs in the global freight distribution system at the core of the global economy. Port and dock workers provide a vital service in supporting the strategic supply chains necessary to multinational companies. The approach of the ITF dockers section is to ensure the 350,000 workers it represents can benefit from their potential power to fight for rights and deliver fair treatment for port workers - and for all workers, internationally.
Find out about the issues important for port and dock workers and what support is available below. Join us in building union strength to tackle the global giants!
