Trade Union Vision on Sustainable Transport (TRUST) Project

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

TRUST is an EU-funded project intending 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.

Reach us at etf@etf-europe.org for suggestions, inputs and comments.
