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.
