Start your week-end with another interesting letter-box company story!
SPOT THE KRAFT VEHICLE IN THE VIDEO BELOW!
Kraft Logistics Sighisoara has more than 100 vehicles registered in Romania, and recruit more than 300 Romanian drivers who work only abroad.
Kraft Logistics Sighisoara says it meets the requirements of the Romanian law and has parking lots proportional with the size of their fleet.
3F, ETF and Romanian trade union SLT - Sindicatul Lucratorilor din Transporturi visited the parking area where the company keeps its vehicles. We only found ... one trailer. Rest of vehicles are busy abroad, driven by Romanian truckers who are treated like hell. They sleep in lorries for 6 weeks at a time, are employed on Romanian wages while never working in Romania and when into severeal months of work, they are asked to sign a document, in German: a pay raise apparently, which turns to be their... dismissal paper!
We are at it now! 3F, the ETF and SLT will work together with our union contacts across Europe to curve these abuses! Flemming Smidt @Hans Christian Graversen European Transport Workers' Federation
Drivers are winning respect! 💪💪💪
European Parliament strikes a deal on the EU #MobilityPackage, leading the fight against social dumping and for #FairTransport! We welcome the vote and are pleased with the outcome!
⬇️ READ OUR PRESS RELEASE! ⬇️

The EU Parliament has a deal on the Mobility Package, a massive reform of EU rules governing road transport. The ETF welcomes the compromise as a step ahead towards clearer and better rules.Another marathon vote with no clear result on the #mobilitypakage in the European Parliament / 1700 amendments were voted today by the TRAN Committee of the European Parliament. More than 1300 amendments are now sent to the EP plenary for yet another vote, scheduled for 4 April. Meanwhile, to be clear about it: bus, coach and truck drivers are covered by the current EU rules. No weekly rest in the cabin & posting rules to apply from Day 1 of driving abroad!
🚀🚀🚀 The world is changing, and so are we. Just one day after our #FairTransport demonstration, we're already looking to the future!
Our affiliate trade unions are in Brussels to think about ways we can:
✊ Build our union power
