UNI Global Union participated in the ITF World Conference Report on Activities in Mexico City. Head of UNI Post & Logistics Global Union, Neil Anderson, made an appearance along with ITF General Secretary, David Cockcroft and the ITF Organising Globally Director, Ingo Marowsky.



The ITF and UNI Global Union have been cooperating closely in organising the world’s largest global delivery companies and Neil, David and Ingo, presented the work that UNI and ITF have been doing. The two Global Union Federations have been jointly organising workers in DHL and are pushing hard together to demand DHL respects workers rights and to sign a global agreement to that affect.



In his contribution, Neil said that the two Global Union Federations were making good progress with their organising efforts and that they would keep up their joint work to make sure that wherever Deutsche Post DHL operated that they would be respecting human rights and workers rights. Ingo Marowsky told the Congress that the cooperation was making the unions dealing with global delivery companies stronger and more able to organise the workers and demand respect and rights. He said neither Global Union would rest until global delivery workers were freely able to join a union of their choice.



At the ITF World Congress several section workshops were being held to support the work being done already and to develop strategies for organising and building union power in the global delivery industry. Planning was also taking place to ensure a big effort was put into the upcoming UNI - ITF week of action for global delivery workers planned for 6 to12 October.
