PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
WORKING CONDITIONS FOR ROAD TRANSPORT WORKERS (10 October 2005)

Motion Details

That this House pays tribute to the vital role road transport workers in both the bus and road haulage industries play in the UK economy; believes it is essential that these workers are treated fairly and have the right to work in a safe working environment; is deeply concerned that the UK Government has yet to ratify ILO Convention 153, which regulates rest periods, driving times and the working week; welcomes the International Transport Workers Federation Campaign in support of road transport workers worldwide; and urges the UK Government to sign and implement ILO Convention 153 at the earliest possible opportunity.
