A mass rally and march of transport workers from all around the country will take place in Dover on 5 October, attended by government ministers and senior trade unionists.
All eight T&G regions are preparing their own events at ports aiid major towns in support of the day, which is being organised by the International Transport Federation.
Graham Stevenson, the union's national organiser for transport, says: The issue of driver fatigue is the most serious issue facing transport workers. The T&G is absolutely committed to securing a maximum 48 hours week for drivers with no loss of earnings."
