In the solo last year we have fought and won for the reinstatement of fired the Turkish workers of UPS from local management because, it seems, want to be enrolled to an union, while also the workers of DHL to Panama hat and in India have obtained the trade-union acknowledgment and come to an agreement job collectives. Meanwhile the workers of TNT in Australia have voted in favor of an action filed by labor union with the objective to obtain a fair contract and the workers of Fedex in the United States are in look for of trade-union representation and are trying to place term to the false independent job".

We must simply oppose us to this type of double standards and is this on which this encounter will concern".
"The total net of ITF and ONES - it has specified in charge of the fields postal and logistic of ONES, Neil Anderson - is growing in dimensions and infuence and is ready to hold under control these companies until to all the workers will be guaranteed the same fundamental rights. As we are remembering to DHL, the better way in order to make it is through an agreement total picture: a global player needs a total agreement".
