Pandemic of exploitation in European trucking, VNB-ITF-IUF report

‘Pandemic of exploitation in European trucking’, is a joint VNB-ITF-IUF report highlighting how companies are exploiting Covid-19 to further cut transport prices, pay, conditions and health and safety in European transport.

Long before Covid-19 hit Europe, the road transport industry was already sick, plagued by the exploitation of drivers and human rights abuses. The coronavirus pandemic, however, has exacerbated the abuse, with a pandemic of exploitation spreading through European trucking.
