February 4, 2011
Fit-Cisl considers the participation of shipowning groups to the new attempt of privatization of Tirrenia positive. Yesterday the extraordinary commissioner of the company of navigation, Giancarlo D' Andrea, has announced the directory of the 14 societies selected for the privatization ( on 3 February 2011). "It is positive - the general secretary of Fit-Cisl has commented, Giovanni Luciano - that they are on stack, for the privatization of Tirrenia and Siremar, important shipowning groups that they offer solid guarantees of industrial structures in a position to managing the companies at best".
"We reserve ourselves, moreover - it has specified Luciano - to deepen in all its indications the document on the program of cession of Tirrenia and returned Siremar only available today (yesterday, ndr), but that a strong element anticipates already not sharing, because the inserted occupational guarantees are previewed lessened of law two-year-old, in the presence of concessions also guaranteed for eight years. In this the government will have to make its part".
"For how much it concerns the encounter with the commissioner Of Andrea - it has added the national secretary of Fit-Cisl Beniamino Leone - permangono strong worries is on the guarantees of maintenance of the occupational levels, it is on the contractual continuities. Two elements of primary importance for the workers and the entire process of cession of the two societies of navigation".
"The delicate passages of this privatization - it has concluded Luciano - demand a wide convergence of the world of work, beyond to a sharing of the objectives and the choices in order realizing them".
Emphasizing as after months of "pressing" on the extraordinary commissioner of Tirrenia and Siremar and on the government the unions they are successful finally to tear the directory of how many they have manifested interest to acquire the business compendiums of the two put societies to contest, the general secretary of Uiltrasporti, Giuseppe Caronia, have stigmatized however the behavior of the commissioner that - it has explained - has circulated a press release before the reunion in which it has anticipated some not insignificant aspects of the program, behavior that denotes lack of respect for the workers and for their representatives that has forced me, also not withdrawing for responsibility sense the delegation - he has specified - to abandon the work in sign of protest".
Caronia has evidenced as the departure of the new phase of a privatization of Tirrenia "mysterious, is up to now confused and bungled", while instead "it would have to develop locking I confront species with the government, able of giving to concrete answers to the sacrosanct expectations of the workers in particular on the occupational levels and the contractual continuity post-privatization, but whose presupposed frankly they worry us not little".
"However we have rimarcato - the general secretary of Uiltrasporti has announced - that it will be necessary in via preliminary matter for example resolving a series of issues still opened which the breakings in C.R.L. (continuity relationship of job) and T.P. (particular turn) and the promotions to the advanced degree of how many in compliance with the enforced CCNL of it they have matured the right. They will have above all to be agreed the social clauses to insert in contracts of sale with particular attention to the duration of the occupational guarantees that will not be able that to coincide with the duration of the conventions (eight years for Tirrenia, twelve years for Siremar)".
Caronia considers that the encounter yesterday has been interlocutorio: "they remain for entire - it has explained - our worries that we hope can be dispelled in the course of the next encounters beginning from that previewed with the government near the ministry of on 9 February next next the economic development, on the base of the whose outcomes we will decide if to reprogram or less previewed strike from we proclaimed for days 8 and 9 February that is therefore to consider itself only suspended".
According to the national coordinator of the marine ones of the Filt Cgil, Massimo Ercolani, "goes created the conditions so that the commissioner can expect the respect of the contractual norms and the occupational guarantees". Commenting the outcomes of the encounter yesterday with the extraordinary commissioner of Tirrenia, Ercolani has found that "for how much concerns the occupational continuity has learned that the previewed guarantees are limited to a period two-year-old, as established from the law, and for how much concerns the continuity of the application of contracts is tied to how much it will be proposed by the eventual purchaser the single workers".
For Ercolani "own on these points is of the precise engagements of the government that preview the effective occupational protection and the respect of the enforced contractual norms and in occasion of the encounter on 9 February to the ministry of the Economic Development we will ask that the government maintains the engagements assumed".
"With respect to the offers of the interested subjects - it has concluded the representative of the Filt Cgil - we will estimate the industrial plan that will have to be introduced within on 15 March".
While Filt Cgil has protested for the revocation of the destined resources to the ports. "Once again with the milleproroghe the ports are hit", the national secretary of the Filt Cgil, Michele Azzola has denounced, emphasizing that "between the measures that will be adopted by I decree of the government will be also the requisition of resources to finance destined to the ports".
According to Azzola, "the revocation of the financings, previewed in the ports, where the financed investments are not concluded, cannot happen in indiscriminate way, without a careful analysis of the reasons for which it has not been provided to the realization of the works. In many cases the cause of the delays is due own to the responsibility of the same government and the revocation of such financings must be limited to the single cases of real responsibility and negligence by the competent authorities and however previewing that such resources are destined to other ports".
"With the provision in voting, instead - it has explains Azzola - the financings independently from the state of realization of the works and from the causes are revoked without no criterion that have generated the delay and not assigning great part of the resources withheld to the other ports".
"Once again - the trade-union leader of the Filt Cgil has criticized - the government proclaims throws again of the portualità in the conventions publics in order then to proceed to indiscriminate cuts that will produce unacceptable damages for these essential infrastructures for the economy of the Country".
