Introduction

Upon the decisions taken at the Barcelona Congress in 2017, the European Transport Workers’ Federation (ETF) embarked on a change process with the view to adapt its structure to serve better the needs of the affiliates and to achieve its renewed political objectives. The changes include the progressive creation of a management team working closely with the General Secretary and which consists of the people coordinating the work of the various sections. Following the changes already implemented in the maritime and aviation department, the structure is being adapted in order to have a political lead which coordinates a team of policy officers in the Land Transport Department. This team would be supported by a dedicated campaigner.
