and submit passively to the initiative of the Italian Confederation of Ship Owners (Confitarma). "Once, when the Confitarma tugged at her long to renew the contract of seafarers - says the secretary-general Federmar Cisal, Alexander Pico - the confederal unions, united in the Maritime Federation, called the struggle of workers and stopped the ship. Then, in the Confitarma federations and trade unions of seafarers followed the season of great loves and shared choices, season characterized by a long series of agreements designed to encourage the adoption of specific measures in favor of armaments, in which the contracts locked themselves in a reasonable time and who saw the president of the same Confitarma publicly praise the unions for not imparting responsibility demonstrated in the ideological approach to negotiations (sic) and then not to strike. "
"Today - said Pico - the situation has changed again: in front of the red and the playacting of Confitarma delaying the renewal of the employment contract expired months, the confederal unions, which now, having given over the years all I could give no longer have anything useful or interesting for the other party to put on the negotiating table if they are absolute inertia without even a hint of complaint or initiative to counter an attitude of owners who are penalizing workers " .
"Given that the State provides grants annually to hundreds of millions of euro to the national shipping companies in the form of contributions to support (tax relief pension, welfare and tax), which companies pocket but must be free from any commitment on the social as to refrain from taking even the slightest hint of employment policy even though this aspect has always been invoked in the reasons that gave rise to the aforementioned benefits - Pico claims - would be interesting to know the mind of the government, and through it of Ministers of Labour and Transport the behavior of Confitarma that is blocking the renewal of the contract of seafarers.Are assured the ministers: their intervention in this regard would not affect in any way the autonomy of the parties, but certainly serves to clarify that the seamen are entitled to a renewal of their contract of employment.
