Respect Transport Workers: Ensuring Their Safety and Dignity This Holiday Season

The TSSA union is urging the public to respect transport workers during the holiday season. Recent tragic events highlight the need for action to ensure their safety and dignity. This was reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Respect Transport Workers and Address Growing Concerns

Transport and travel union TSSA calls on passengers to respect transport workers and fellow travelers alike. This plea comes in response to the tragic death of railway worker Jorge Ortega, attacked at Ilford station last Wednesday night.

TSSA General Secretary Maryam Eslamdoust emphasized the urgent need to address rising violence against transport workers. She stated, “This tragedy serves as a grim reminder of the dangers faced by those ensuring safe journeys.”

Creating Safer Environments for Transport Workers

The union’s campaign against violence emphasizes the value of transport workers and calls for immediate action. Employers, passengers, and officials must collaborate to create safer environments and prevent further incidents.

“Transport workers deserve respect and protection, especially as they ensure public services continue running smoothly,” said Eslamdoust. “Violence and abuse against them are criminal acts that must not be tolerated.”

Respecting transport workers helps promote safer and more efficient journeys, benefiting everyone. The union urges continued efforts beyond the festive season to guarantee their dignity and safety year-round.
