In an open letter published by the International Chamber of Shipping, associations and corporate leaders from throughout the global transport industry have come together to call for governments to ensure the free movement of transport workers, end travel bans and remove restrictions that continue to impact the industry.
The letter comes from IRU, the world road transport organisation, IATA, the International Air Transport Association, ICS, the International Chamber of Shipping, and ITF, the International Transport Workers’ Federation.
The organisations say that heads of governments around the world have failed to listen or to take decisive actions needed to solve the current transport crisis. The letter calls for these world leaders to work together to increase the global vaccine supply, prioritise vaccines for transport workers and guarantee their free and safe movement.
