The ITF is appalled by recent attacks on Argentinian railway workers and the reckless and irresponsible actions of the employers which led to them. Cancellations and severe disruption to Argentina’s railways have been caused by mismanagement and underinvestment, not workers. But instead of taking responsibility, management has chosen to lay the blame on the workers.
Between the 18th and 20th of January 2023, a delegation from the ITF and ETF visited Ukraine to meet workers in the railway and maritime sectors. The solidarity fund set up by the ITF in March 2022 made it possible to provide Ukrainian transport workers with a wide range of necessities, including folding beds, mattresses, blankets, generators, solar panels and drinking water.
