Istanbul Accord on Union Organising in the Metro Sector

Report Published

On 28-29 November 2023, trade unions of workers in metro systems around the world have met in Istanbul, Türkiye. Representing workers from Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, the Arab World and Asia-Pacific, we have exchanged experiences from our different cities and countries. Metro systems are expanding everywhere, and despite our diverse economic, social and political contexts, many of the issues confronting us are held in common.
