The
ETF expresses concerns over the role’s focus on boosting competitiveness in the
sector, rather than the wellbeing of transport workers, their families, and
communities.
Coupled
with the lack of a Commissioner for Employment and Social Affairs, the low
priority given to employment questions as part of the formation of the current
Commission is extremely worrying for workers across Europe.
Considering the fact that low pay and poor working
conditions are driving workers away from the transport and creating huge labour
shortages, the lack of quality jobs is a fundamental threat to the future of
the sector.
After
all, without transport workers, there can be no transport.
