April 17, 2007 - Just a month before the 2007 Transportation Day of Action, the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) have launched a website, www.itfglobal.org/civil-aviation/iamactionday.cfm, to show global support for the IAM’s Transportation Day of Action.

“Transport workers around the world are suffering the same indignities as the US workers,” said Ingo Marowsky, ITF Civil Aviation Secretary. “That’s why the ITF is urging civil aviation and other transport affiliates to back this worldwide campaign.”
The ITF is asking unions to back the Day of Action in a number of ways. These include sending as many participants to the Washington D.C. rally on May 17th, presenting government ministers with a charter of demands during the same week as the action and cabin crew on stopover are also being urged to join ground staff at destination airports in organized actions.
The International Transport Workers' Federation is an international trade union federation of 681 transport workers' unions representing 4,500,000 transport workers in 148 countries.
Check out the IAM’s Day of Action Website, www.17may07.org, for the latest Day of Action information.
