A special ITF (International Transport Workers’ Federation) conference exclusively for young transport workers is expected to close later today in Montreal, Canada, with plans for union action on the economy, environment, precarious (insecure, part time and subcontracted) work and union-building.
One hundred and twenty youth activists from 54 unions in 28 countries are attending the three day conference in order to explore ways of building internationalism and mobilising international solidarity. The conference was opened and attended by ITF general secretary, David Cockroft.
