PTUC Dockworkers Call

Palestinian Unions Endorse Dockworker Unions’ Call to Action on October 30th

The Palestinian labor movement endorses the call for a day of struggle on October 30th against militarisation and genocide organised by a collective of dockworkers’ unions and calls on all global port, transport and related unions to join it. We also call on grassroots and civil society organizations that can support this mobilization to do so following the unions’ leadership and context-specific directions.

Boycott CAF

Tell the Netherlands: Exclude CAF from your rolling stock tender!

Dutch human rights organisations are aware of existing contracts in the Netherlands involving Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF). In 2018, the GVB, the public transport company of the municipality of Amsterdam, chose CAF for the supply of metro carriages and trams. Also in 2018, CAF secured a contract for the major Dutch railway company Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) to supply sprinter train carriages. CAF supplies trams to the Public Transport in Utrecht as well.
