The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) is a global union federation of transport workers’ trade unions, founded in 1896. As of 2005, it has over 600 member organizations in over 140 countries, representing a combined membership of over five million workers.

The ITF is allied with the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC). Any independent trade union with members in the transport industry is eligible for membership of the organization.

The ITF represents the interests of transport workers’ unions in bodies such as the International Labour Organization (ILO), the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The organization also informs and advises unions about developments in the transport industry in other countries or regions of the world, and organise international solidarity actions when member unions in one country are in conflict with employers or government.

The ITF’s headquarters is located in London and it has offices in Nairobi, Ouagadougou, Tokyo, New Delhi, Amman, Rio de Janeiro, Moscow, Brussels and Georgetown (Guyana).
