On the occasion of International Workers’ Day, the Federation of European Train Drivers’ Unions highlights the essential contribution of train drivers to the functioning of the European railway system.
Train drivers play a central role in ensuring the safety, reliability and continuity of rail operations across Europe. Our work is fundamental to maintaining a high-performing and resilient transport system.
In a context of ongoing transformation of the sector, including digitalisation and technological developments, it is crucial that the operational perspective is fully taken into account. The experience and expertise of train drivers remain key elements in ensuring that innovation goes hand in hand with safety and efficiency.
ALE reaffirms its commitment to representing train drivers at European level and to promoting high standards in safety, working conditions and professional recognition.
