Federmar-Cisal declares the state of agitation of the navigating and administrative staff of Tirrenia
Eventual strike at the beginning of July
May 16, 2011
Federmar-Cisal has declared the state of agitation of the navigating and administrative staff of the several centers of Tirrenia and has preannounced, if the uncertainty situation had to last that characterizes the future of the navigation company, the eventual proclamation of a strike of a day of the ferries that will be placed in the first decade of the July month.
"More the time passes - the general secretary of the union has explained, Alessandro Pico - and more ravels the privatization of Tirrenia, not only for the greater society, Tirrenia in fact, but also for those minors (Caremar, Saremar, Siremar and Toremar) transferred last year to the respective Regions with the engagement to yield them to the private ones through appropriate contests. The decision of the government to market the Tirrenia Group - it has found Pico - for the moment has provoked only an indiscriminate and remarkable increment of the rates of the ferries in the connections with the islands, having had the private shipowners free field with regard to in lack of the calmieratrice action of the company of State, which, in its turn, being placed in controlled administration, has not been able to dispense with to follow private in increasing the price of tickets".
"The worry of the union, but - it has specified Pico - is that in all this disorder who is mounting to put again there are in the first instance the workers on the plan of the occupational and contractual protections. This however would be the consequence of the choice carried out disastrously from the government to privilege the sale of the fleet of State with the Alitalia method rather than to rerun to the precedence experience matured with the cession of the others two public companies of navigation, Italy and Lloyd Triestino, in which the workers, also through the involvement of the labor organizations, had been about to time adequately protected. However, since by now behind it cannot be returned, it is necessary that this game is closed the first possible one and that the workers of these companies have safeguarded their contractual places of work and their rights in the same measure in which them they have had protected the dependent of the other societies that are yielded to the private ones".
