| Bus Workers met for ITF
International Action Week
On
7 September 2006, leaders from three bus workers’ organizations from
Japan Confederation of Railway Workers’ Unions (JRU) had a meeting to
decide on the activities of the ITF International Road Transport
Workers’ Action Week, 9-15 October 2006. A representative for the 41 ITF
Congress reported briefly about the Congress stressing transport workers
in the world faced same problems, such as deregulation, long hour
working time under the poor working conditions, threatening health and
safety and union attacks. Participants discussed about their current
situation and problems in their work places and concluded that they
needed solidarity and fought together not only workers in Japan but also
in the world for building union power. Finally, they decided that on 12
October in the Action Week they would be leafleting in the main stations
and bus & track terminals in Japan appealing “Stop Competition but Build
Solidarity”.
