The European Transport Workers’ Federation, representing workers in all transport sectors and fisheries across an enlarged Europe, launched a broad debate towards a TRade Union Vision on Sustainable Transport.

TRUST is a EU-funded project which intended to:

• Give guidance to a trade union’s contribution to transport sustainability policies.
• Focus on the social dimension of a long-term outlook of the transport future in Europe.
• Highlight the importance of the “employment pillar” of the Lisbon Strategy: more and better jobs.
• Stress the need for appropriate assessment of restructuring processes.
• Mainstream gender-equality issues across a discussion on sustainability.
• Promote best-practice examples towards new forms of organization.

Employers’ organizations, NGOs and members of the European institutions were invited to further enrich the discussions.

Conclusions drawn from these exchanges set up a new policy framework, allowing social sustainability and workers’ needs to enter the mainstream of the European transport policy design.
