The railway workers’ section represents 1.3 million workers in 177 unions around the world. The chair, three vice chairs, women's representative and young workers' representative of the railway workers’ section are elected at the section conference, held in conjunction with the ITF congress.
These members, along with the regional chairs and vice chairs, form the section steering committee. Section working groups also delegate their representatives to the steering committee.
The chair (or in his/her absence, one of the vice chairs) of the ITF urban transport committee also participates in committee meetings. The urban transport committee was jointly set up with the ITF road transport workers’ section.
