The Trade Unions International of Transport Workers is a trade unions international of workers in the transport industry affiliated with the World Federation of Trade Unions. It was formerly known as the Trade Unions International of Transport, Port and Fishery Workers.
History
The organizations roots goes back to 1949 when two TUI affiliates of the WFTU were created: the Trade Unions International of Seamen and Dockers which represented seamen, inland waterways workers, fishermen and port workers, and the Trade Unions International of Land and Air Transport Workers. In March 1953 these two merged into Trade Unions International of Transport, Port and Fishery Workers.[1][2] It kept the latter name until at least 1978,[3] but adopted the current name by 1985.[4]
Organization
TUI has a controlling congress, later called a conference, an administrative committee, bureau and secretariat.[5]
Headquarters moved a number of times. In 1955 its address was reported as Seilerstaette 3, Vienna 1, Austria. It shared the address with the Trade Union International of Miners Unions.[6] By 1957 its headquarters were Janska 100, Prague 1, Czechoslovakia.[7] In 1978 it was still in the same district of Prague, but at Opletalova 57.[8] By 1985 it had moved to Váci út 73,1138 Budapest, Hungary,[9] an address it would keep until at least 1992.
