Fair wages, safe working conditions and decent living standards are the foundation of resilient transport supply chains. When grounded in freedom of association and collective bargaining, they drive improved job quality, workforce stability and operational reliability.
Trade unions play a critical role in negotiating fair remuneration, securing access to social protection and ensuring that working and living conditions meet international labour standards. Through social dialogue, companies can better identify risks, strengthen prevention and deliver lasting improvements – aligning their practices with ILO standards, OECD expectations and evolving HREDD requirements.
