UNITE lorry departs from London to join the ETF lorry convoy!

23 April 2010

This morning the first lorry part of the ETF convoy has departed from London. UNITE and ITF launched the action. The lorry will join other 14 lorries and coaches on Sunday in the Netherlands. The convoy will cross the Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, France and will arrive in Brussels on Wednesday, 28 April. The ITF General Secretary said: "This is a trade union campaign against an 84-hour working week for truck and coach drivers, that has mobilised ITF and ETF affiliates around the world. Trade unions around the world often look at Europe as a continent where workers and working conditions are respected. But it seems that Europe’s reputation in this respect is in danger of going down the drain".
