Representativeness of the European social partner organisations: Railways and urban public transport

This study provides information designed to encourage sectoral social dialogue in railways and urban public transport. The aim of Eurofound’s series of studies on representativeness is to identify the relevant national and supranational social partner organisations in the field of industrial relations in selected sectors. The study identified the European Transport Workers’ Federation (EFT) (representing employees) and the Community of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies (CER), the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) and European Rail Infrastructure Managers (EIM) (representing employers) as the most important European-level social partner organisations in railways and urban public transport.
