Maritime union boss Paddy Crumlin elected international president


 
MUA national secretary Paddy Crumlin has become the first Australian president of the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF), following his election at their quadrennial Congress in Mexico City on the 12th August.
 
The federation’s executive board recommended Paddy for the position and was unanimously endorsed by the congress’s 1,500 delegates following 10 days of congress deliberation, regional and sectional meetings.
 
“The ITF finds itself at a critical time for workers around the world following the global collapse of international economies. It is now our responsibility to protect the rights and futures of all transport workers against the excesses of capitalism set against a slow and uncertain recovery of transport related industries,” said Paddy in his acceptance speech.
 
Paddy joins former ACTU secretary Sharan Burrow, recently elected as general secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation, on the international stage of trade unionism.
 
Over many years Paddy has forged changes to the way transport unions work together in Australia and internationally within the ITF’s sections, which include road, rail, aviation, seafaring, dockers and inland waterways.
 
In Australia he is a driving force in the development of ATUF the Australian Transport Unions Federation (Rail, Tram and Bus Union, Transport Workers Union of Australia and the Maritime Union of Australia), as well as leading the formation of strategic alliances between Australian, New Zealand and regional unions including the Oil and Gas Alliance and Trans-Tasman Transport Alliance. Paddy is also widely respected for his central role in trade union development in East Timor and Papua New Guinea.
 
As the chair of the ITF Dockers’ section Paddy was instrumental in the development of the POC campaign’s world wide data base of ports, organised port workers and associated employers.
 
In his role as co-chair of the International Bargaining forum, Paddy has been a key negotiator in the IBF agreements that protect the working conditions and safety of more than 100,000 international seafarers working on flag of convenience ships.
