International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF)
International Organisations
The ITF was founded in London in 1886 by European Seafarers and Dockers’s union leaders who realised the need to organise internationally against strike breakers. The ITF represents transport workers at world level and promotes their interests through global campaigning and solidarity. It works for the advancement of fundamental human rights and trade union rights and opposes discrimination. The Reports on Africa contains reports on its activities, amongst others, in South Africa.
The Institute of Commonwealth Studies at the University of London holds the archives covering the period 1952-1975.
