Thank you Europe & the propositions of the Mobility Package! #WeAreBTB #campingeurope #FairTransport ETF Road Transport Section

ver.di appeals to the members of the European Parliament before the vote on the EU Mobility Package on 4 July: Vote FOR the EMPL Committee amendments!
Watch the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-1twkXD2VUver.di appelliert vor der Abstimmung über das EU-Mobilitätspaket an die Europaabgeordneten.
The fight for a fair EU Mobility Package is a fight for ALL drivers in the road transport sector. Any reform that legalises social dumping and wage inequalities weakens the faith in the European project. And our drivers ask: Is that the future we want to see for the European single market?
Our Romanian affiliate ATU has been pushing MEPs to vote for #FairTransport.
We call on all MEPs to vote in favour of the EMPL amendments during the plenary vote on the Mobility Package to take place in Strasbourg on 4 July. It will decide over the work and lives of thousands of professional drivers working abroad in deplorable conditions.
