Todos los inspectores de la ITF desean transmitir su más sentido pésame a la familia de Enrique Fossoul por su fallecimiento. Dear Members of the ETF Management Committee, Dear Colleagues, It is my saddest duty to inform you that we have received today the information that our colleague Enrique Fossoul de la Sierra, member of the ETF Management Committee and, until last Friday, General Secretary of FSC-CCOO, did not resist the second operation he was submitted to this Monday. More than a colleague, Enrique has been a personal friend and a tireless defender of the ETF, transport workers and workers’ solidarity. Tomorrow we will inform all affiliates and will provide further information when available. Through Fátima Aguado, I want to express on your behalf and the whole ETF Secretariat our deepest condolences to his family and his colleagues. It has been an honour to work with him and to count on his support in the last ten years.

Yours, Sam Dawson Enrique Fossoul 12 June 1954 to 1 December 2014 The ITF is saddened by the death of Enrique Fossoul, leading Spanish trade unionist and member of the management committee of the ETF. Enrique Fossoul was one of the public faces of Comisiones Obreras, (CC.OO) – Spain’s largest trade union – including in the crucial period following the end of the country’s military dictatorship following Franco’s death. Fossoul dedicated 38 years of his life to the union, rising to become FSC-CC.OO general secretary in 2004. His death came just days after he gave up the post due to ill health. Eduardo Chagas, ETF general secretary, remembered Enrique as, “More than a colleague. Enrique was a personal friend and a tireless defender of the ETF, of transport workers and of workers’ solidarity.” He continued: “I want to express on behalf of the whole ETF our deepest condolences to his family and his colleagues. It has been an honour to work with Enrique and to count on his support in the last ten years.” ITF general secretary Steve Cotton added: “This is very sad news. Enrique was a man of passion, vision and a true internationalist. He was totally committed to defend workers’ rights not only in Europe but also on the global level. “He will be sorely missed in the fight to defend the workers' rights and their voice in an ever changing world.” ITF communications: getting the message out - when and where it matters www.itfglobal.org www.facebook.com/ITFglobal Twitter: @itfglobalunion From: Sarah Finke <finke_sarah@itf.org.uk> Date: Wednesday, 3 December 2014 14:02 To: "faguado@fsc.ccoo.es" <faguado@fsc.ccoo.es> Subject: Enrique Fossoul Fatima, quería de manera personal escribir unas palabras para expresar mis condolencias; para la gente que le conocía en los sindicatos globales, Enrique Fossoul era una presencia tranquila e inspiradora. También era un gran comunicador - a mi me gustaba leer mucho sus entradas en Facebook, siempre contemplativas e inteligentes. Una persona y un sindicalista verdaderamente ejemplar. Le echaremos de menos. Un abrazo, Sarah This email is confidential and may be privileged. If you have received it in error, please notify the sender and then delete it immediately.
