Transport workers to home in on social movements
17 Setembro 2008
Road transport workers will be looking at ways of building alliances with social movements at a special conference in Norway next month.
The conference, organised by the ITF-affiliated Norwegian union Fagforbundet in cooperation with the ITF, is to be held in Oslo from 16-17 October. It will give workers the chance to examine new ways of facing the challenges that have emerged over the past 30 years, which includ form alliances with other movements. The event will also focus on the possibility of unions taking on a broader perspective in their everyday activities.
Speakers at the conference include: Professor Ronaldo Munck, Dublin City University, who will discuss globalisation, labour and trade unions and Mac Urata, ITF Inland Transport Section Secretary, who will focus on the ITF and global action campaigns. Meanwhile Mike Waghorne, former Assistant General Secretary, PSI and Asbjørn Wahl, Adviser, Fagforbundet, and Alexandra Strickner, Attac Austria, will look at trade unions and social movements.
ITF Inland Transport Section Secretary Mac Urata commented: “Affiliates endorsed a proposal to review trade unions’ global action-oriented campaigns and the wider social movement. This conference is part of that process. The mix of speakers from both trade unions and social movements will hopefully provide participants with new ideas for working with organisations with similar aims. These alliances could help tackle the issues facing workers as a result of globalisation more effectively.”
