In what way does labour structure influence road safety? This study, carried out in collaboration with Prof. Thomas Corsi of the University of Maryland, explores in depth the correlation between unionisation and operational performance in the United States transport sector. Through an exhaustive data analysis, we examine how the collective health and safety agreements in force at unionised companies act as a positive catalyst for improving drivers' practices and reducing risks on the road. The report goes beyond the traditional view of labour relations, demonstrating that strong representation and clear working agreements are critical factors for increasing operational safety, reducing staff turnover and improving overall efficiency. This document offers a key perspective on how working conditions affect profitability and driver well-being, laying the foundations for more humane and professional fleet management. Access the full findings of the study on the relationship between trade unionism, workplace well-being and safety in transport.
