Millions of women work in the transport industry world-wide, from bus and train drivers, to port workers, airline cabin crew, executives, call centre staff and office workers. Like most workers in the industry, women are seeing globalisation, de-regulation and privatisation squeeze their jobs, their wages and their conditions. At the same time, women have been facing unequal wages and rights, closed doors, poor parenting and maternity provision, discrimination and harassment.
Central to the ITF's campaigning is the aim to organise women into trade union activities, empowering women to secure better working conditions, more rights and equality with their male colleagues.
