Federmar-Cisal rejects the foundations of the transfer of Tirrenia to the CIN
According to the union they are absentees occupational and contractual guarantees let alone economic guarantees and of development of the fleet
June 3, 2011
Federmar-Cisal totally rejects the foundations of the transfer of the property of the company of navigation Tirrenia from the State to the Italian Company of Navigation (CIN), the network formed from the shipowners Gianluigi Aponte, Emanuele Grimaldi and Vincenzo Onorato who is the only subject arrived to the final phase of the contest for the privatization of the company and whose offered it is accepted 23rd May by the ministry of the economic Development ( on 19 May 2011).
According to the union, in fact, "worse than so for the workers it could not go". "Such - the national secretary of Federmar-Cisal explains, Alessandro Pico - is the impression, in order not to say the certainty, that it is gained some from the reading of the communications that for law the extraordinary commissioner of Tirrenia has had to supply to the representatives of the workers in the within of the procedure of the sale of the company to a network of private".
The union denunciation as such transfer is prefigured in absence of occupational and contractual guarantees and with the renunciation - emphasizes Pico - to any protection that you regard the workers, "indeed - specifies - going to establish black on white a series of normative references to the aim to preconstitute a situation that will enormously favor the new employer, that is the company constituted from Grimaldi, Aponte and Onorato, to all damage of the same workers".
In particular Federmar-Cisal evidences as in the communications about the transfer of the dependent, sailors and administrative, by Tirrenia to new society CIN the "guarantee of the maintenance of the occupational levels is only limited to two years: such period - the union finds - is not the result of a laborious yielding negotiation between and purchaser as could himself have imagined, but, more simply, drift from the application than previewed from a codicil of law 270/99. It must rimarcare that in the precedence privatizations of public companies, also of the former Finmare, the conservation of the places of work was guaranteed in order not less five-year-old"; moreover "workers transferred to the new company, the CIN, will not conserve the vested rights to the dependencies of Tirrenia, but they will be assumed, presumablly with the date on July 1°, 2011, a new relationship of job second a proposal that meantime will be elaborated by the same CIN"; at last - Federmar-Cisal continues - the transfer will involve a "reduction of the costs of labor through the application beginning from on January 1°, 2012 of a new contractual order is for the sailors who for the administrative ones, objective that not specific if the new contractual order will regard or only the CCNL or only the business agreements or both elements. A thing is however sure: that it is spoken about a reduction of the costs of labor and therefore of a worsening of the conditions of the workers. But until some time it makes - Piro emphasizes - was not own Honored to assert that employee its were better than those of Tirrenia"
For Federmar-Cisal, "the fact arouses moreover worry that in the industrial plan of which it is made signal is not previewed investments neither for new constructions of ships in substitution of those most obsolete ones that they will be acquired from Tirrenia neither for the development of the fleet".
At last the manifest union worry for a question mark "that - Piro explains - it raises legitimizes doubts on the credibility and the future of the entire operation": "the cession of the branch of company of Tirrenia - the national secretary of Federmar-Cisal explains - happens towards the CIN, a limited liability partnership with a capital of single 21,000 euros (just so, 21,000 euros), indeed pochini in order to tackle to the onerous engagements of a navigation enterprise".
Federmar-Cisal has announced to have already asked a prompt encounter the counterparts Tirrenia and CIN.
