'Respect4workers' is rallying cry of joint campaign
8 September 2009
Global unions the ITF and UNI today announced the launch of a new website to support their joint campaign for union rights at DHL and the big global delivery (logistics) companies. The new site, www.respect4workers.org, was officially unveiled at the UNI Europa Convention, which is being held in Dublin from 7th to 9th September.
The Head of the ITF's Regional and Industrial Office, Ingo Marowsky, is attending the Convention, organised by UNI's Post and Logistics Section and its Head, Neil Anderson.
During this meeting, the ITF and UNI committed themselves to maintaining the pressure on DHL and the other global delivery companies with the aim of increasing union recognition and union membership, as well as protecting workers' rights in this area.
Neil Anderson commented: "Following the industrial action that took place across Europe in protest at redundancies at DHL Subsidiary EAT (European Air Transport) in Brussels last month, both the ITF and UNI are implementing a strategy calling on these companies to respect their workers. The slogan 'respect4workers' will form the basis of a coordinated campaign between the two global union federations and our affiliates."
Ingo Marowsky added: "We've taken a big step forward on this today with this meeting, and with the launch of www.respect4workers.org, where workers can communicate, plan and coordinate activities, and tell management that respect for the workforce is the only true foundation for earning the revenues which companies seek."
