GTI Mumbai Solidarity Campaign

The ITF-affiliated Transport and Dock Workers Union (TDWU) has faced extraordinary repression and violence after the union successfully organised the majority of truck trailer drivers employed by contractors and subcontractors at Gateway Terminals India, a Maersk-owned company.

In the last two years, TDWU members and their officials have been thwarted in their attempts to achieve collective agreements and have faced serious intimidation and violent attacks in their continued struggle to exercise their trade union rights of freedom of association and to collectively bargain.

Act Now!

The company has claimed publicly that the October beatings were the result of a drunken quarrel between private individuals. The ITF commissioned and has now received an independent report which has shown this to be untrue. The ITF believes the incident has demonstrated that GTI – which is 70 per cent owned by Maersk – has not taken seriously the commitments it has made to workers’ rights.
