Thanks for the solidarity!As the European Parliament was voting down the reports on the #mobilitypackage, ver.di Maritime Wirtschaft's dockers at the Eurogate Hamburg container terminal continued their actions in support of the ETF Road Transport Section by informing drivers on the dangers of the proposals under discussion.
Because there's no space for social dumping in our ports! And because the ETF is built on the solidarity among all transport workers. #solidarity #respectdrivers
The European Parliament rejected with a large majority the reports of the #MobilityPackage. Back to the TRAN Committee now.
ETF continues to be on the barricades. We will continue to influence the process.

Welcome @ Camping Europe. Where Europe organizes social dumping. Where you can take your 45h of rest in your truck or in a tent. Far away from your family, without a social life. 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.
