Unions in the world's big four logistics companies took a stand for workers rights and global solidarity in November 2006 as part of a worldwide day of action. The action day, organized by the ITF and Union Network International (UNI) was supported by members employed by TNT, DHL, Fedex and UPS working in integrated transport functions such as sorting, transporting and distributing. Workers used the day to either try to build on their existing relationships with their employers, extend membership or confront hostile employers.
