Industrial Workers' Vision for Sustainable Mobility & Transport Revolution

Addressing the future of sustainable mobility in Europe, the ETUC Conference in Brussels on May 7, 2013, emphasized the crucial role of transport sectors like automotive, shipbuilding, aerospace, and railway in the economy. With 7.1 million members across 39 countries, the conference highlighted the importance of mobility for social integration and employment. Manufacturing workers see the Mobility Revolution as both a challenge and an opportunity, emphasizing the need for policies to mitigate job losses and ensure skill development. Reorienting product policies for sustainable transport can open new markets, create quality jobs, and support supply chain development, contributing to crisis recovery.

  1. Industrial workers’ agenda for sustainable mobility ETUC Conference, 7th May 2013 Brussels

  2. industriAll European Trade Union • Metalworking, Energy, Chemical, Mining, Textile, Rubber, Glass (etc.) sectors • Representing main industries and their entire supply and value chain • 7,1m members in 39 countries • Transport equipment sectors • Automotive / Shipbuilding / Aerospace / Railway

  3. Transport & Mobility • Transport is key for the economy, especially for the manufacturing industries • Mobility of workers and citizens is the entry-door for employment and social integration • For our sectors: it is the employer of 15m workers in Europe • But it is also: a source of varied pollution and an important consumer of energy

  4. Our view of future mobility Transport and mobility… • are not goals inthemselves, but must serve the needs of societies and populations; • are a powerful means of social integration for the whole of society; • should respect the environmental needs of our societies (today and tomorrow)

  5. Manufacturing workers’ view • A Mobility Revolution is: • a challenge, mainly for employment, working conditions and skills; • an opportunity, to develop a sustainable manufacturing base in Europe, and find new markets

  6. A Challenge… • A change in transport and mobility policies will bring: • manufacturing job losses • a transformation of jobs and job transfers • new skill requirements for workers already in place and for new young colleagues • Therefore a demand for appropriate T&E policies, retraining efforts, and anticipatory measures with the social partners

  7. An opportunity… • A reoriented product policy from the transport equipment manufacturers will: • Open up new, domestic markets • Create quality jobs • Support the development of new supply-chains • Make transport sustainable • Contribute to overcoming the crisis
