From the back cover

Rotterdam dockers called upon their European colleagues to support a strike in 1896. As a direct result of the practical solidarity by seafarers a new organisation was born. In 1996 the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) celebrates 100 years of solidarity. Numerous industrial disputes throughout the world have been supported by the ITF and its member unions. The Federation can be proud of a rich and heroic past.

This book is published jointly by the ITF and Pluto Press as part of the extensive programme of celebrations of the ITF's centenary year.

Entire Book is available for download by ITF affiliates, trade union organisations, and interested parties.
