St John\u2019s, Antigua \u2013 15 October, 2024<\/strong> \u2013 General Secretary of the Antigua and Barbuda Workers\u2019 Union (ABWU), Sen. David Massiah, along with two representatives from the Union\u2019s transport section \u2013 Wendy Nicholas and Briann Russell \u2013 have joined more than 2000 transport workers from across the world at the 46th International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) Congress which officially opened in Marrakech, Morocco on Sunday.

The Congress, which is being held under the theme \u201cTransport workers moving the world forward,\u201d will provide an opportunity for delegates from all ITF-affiliated trade unions to share experiences and collectively define priorities for the next five years.

Massiah, who also serves as ITF Tourism Section Chair, underscored the significance of the ABWU\u2019s participation in the Congress. \u201cWe want our transport workers in Antigua and Barbuda to appreciate that they are important constituents in a global community. Together, in solidarity with our colleagues from across the globe we can build workers\u2019 power in the transport sector,\u201d Massiah said.

The ITF Congress commenced with a powerful opening ceremony featuring riveting messages of solidarity, peace and justice. Stephen Cotton, ITF General Secretary said \u201cOur actions have always transcended borders. We have kept the world moving through pandemics, wars and economic crises. We are the backbone of the global economy, moving goods and people to every corner of the world.\u201d

Paddy Crumlin, ITF President said \u201cIt\u2019s a pivotal moment to strengthen our unity and diversity through stronger regional and sectoral organising, making sure that youth and women lead andshape our movement at every level.\u201d The Congress will run through 19 October and will focus on six critical demands – rights, equality, safety, accountability, sustainability, and a future that works for workers which will form the basis to build a safer, fairer and more sustainable transport industry.<\/p>
