ROB JOHNSTON
Assistant General Secretary, International Transport Workers Federation (ITF)
Rob Johnston is the Assistant General Secretary of the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF), a global union federation representing more than 700 transport unions with a total membership of 18.5 million workers in 150 countries across maritime, port, aviation, road, rail and urban transport sectors.
Rob Johnston was appointed by the ITF executive board in April 2016 and prior to this his career, which spans over 35 years in the trade union movement, has included several international posts, that have seen him become a highly experienced executive-level global industrial relations expert, skilled in leading complex negotiations and expert in operational leadership and organisational change. Under Rob's tenure, the ITF has transformed into a proactive campaigning organisation, more relevant to the workers in representing the changing landscape of work and the planetary challenges we all face.
As AGS, Rob is responsible for the organisation's regional development, building and maintaining strategic partnerships that focus on sustainability and growth, and developing alliances that support and protect diverse groups of workers within the transport sector and across the various supply chains that depend on them.
