In 2021, ReAct Transnational facilitated the creation of an international trade union alliance for better working conditions within the DPD Group. Europe’s largest parcel delivery company DPD is a subsidiary of the French group La Poste. It is present in a growing number of countries. Its rapid expansion, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has come at the expense of working conditions aggravated by an increasingly systematic recourse to subcontracting. The contracts are precarious, when there are any, the delivery drivers work 12 to 15 hours a day, carry loads often far exceeding the legal standards and are traced at all times by the application which tells delivery workers what they must do. Faced with a local management that refused to initiate a dialogue with labor, the Swiss union UNIA called on ReAct Transnational to get in touch with unions in other countries. “Alone, we will not win. If all the DPD couriers start blocking warehouses as we do in Switzerland, they will be obliged to respond to us,” remarked Roman. A few months later, an initial action was organized between the Swiss and French unions in front of the headquarters of La Poste. At the end of 2021, an international trade union alliance was structured around Swiss, French, Belgian, Italian, Spanish and Turkish trade unions with the support of two international trade unions: the International Transport Workers Federation and UNI Global Union.

Since 2017, ReAct Transnational has led discussion on organizing the new forms work organization of the digital economy. It is in this context that we developed special relationships with groups of bicycle delivery people in different cities in France and in other European countries. “We have to organize ourselves with the other deliverers at a trans-European level, to obtain a uniform improvement in working conditions in our different countries” remarks Arthur, a delivery driver from Bordeaux. In this context, ReAct Transnational facilitated the organization of the first transnational meeting of delivery people in October 2018 in Brussels in order to:

• Draw up a European inventory of the forms of exploitation which victimize platform workers
• Share the experiences of social struggles and the concrete improvements obtained by the delivery collectives
• Organize and act at a European level to guarantee decent working conditions for all
• Make public the deterioration of working conditions due to the development of digital platforms.

Bringing together more than 60 couriers from 12 European countries (Belgium, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands, Norway, Finland) accompanied by around twenty trade unionists and supporting researchers; this assembly enabled the development of a common strategy to fight against the abuse of digital platforms and the creation of the Transnational Federation of couriers. A list of common demands was drawn up and a calendar was drawn up establishing initial dates for simultaneous actions in several countries to take place.

Between 2014 and 2018, ReAct Transnational worked with different unions at the STMicroelectronics company on building a global alliance between the company's unions. Networking first started with France and Morocco, before extending to Italian, Malaysian and then Maltese sites. Unions everywhere shared stories of struggles and victories at each site as well as an inventory of past and present grievances. All point to the intensification of production, unattainable goals and denial of workers' rights. From Morocco to Malaysia, including France, Italy and Malta, all of them have the same demand: “Zero dividends, all united to change ST's strategy”. To assert these demands, the unions of the 6 countries organized a first coordinated action in the spring of 2016 through the months of April and June, emphasizing the need for an investment strategy on all sites. Since these actions, a rapprochement of the union alliance has been made with the international union federation Industri'ALL. Several meetings took place in Geneva in 2018 and 2019 where everyone met to develop the next steps, expand and clarify common demands and continue to fight together to improve working conditions for all.

From 2012 to 2015, ReAct Transnational supported B2S call center unions in strengthening their local organizations and by establishing international links. In Morocco, ReAct Transnational trained an organizer to develop employee organization and coordination between the 4 Casablanca sites. That B2S Unions on both sides of the Mediterranean were all fighting management repression gave them an opportunity for a common action, a united front. “The day when the group's Human Resources Department saw the 5 French unions refuse to conduct the mandatory annual negotiations until we, Moroccan trade unionists, had been reinstated, that really made the difference. The next day, we were called to come back to work,” says Youssef. This was a first victory for transnational solidarity between B2S workers. A few years later, trade unionists from B2S Morocco supported the creation of a National Federation of Call Center Trade Unions which would subsequently encourage the creation of trade unions in many foreign companies. In 2013, the French and Moroccan unions created the Cross-border Alliance of B2S employees to bring common demands such as the synchronization of negotiation schedules in all subsidiaries and the representation of all sites in decision-making committees (CCUES) and they are aiming for a homogenization of working conditions to fight against the blackmail of relocation. The challenges of the Cross-Border Alliance have grown with the acquisition of B2S in 2017 by the Italian group ComData, operating in 14 countries.
