Federmar-Cisal has announced that they had to study the possibility of forming a company formed by workers of Tirrenia for the management of the fleet used by the shipping company in the service between the mainland and Sardinia.
"The initiative - explained the union's national secretary, Alexander Pico - would aim to involve employees in the maintenance cost of their jobs: in fact, the wretched speculation to assist in the sale of which does not bode Tirrenia good because now it is clear that the consortium of private owners (Aponte, Grimaldi and Honored) not so much interested in the acquisition of the business "Cabotage" but that the same Tirrenia disappear.Miserable speculation because only the unwary can drink the story that a project based on the territorial continuity of Sardinia, for more than covered by grants, may fail because the region is competing with two hired ships. "
According to Pico, "the push and pull of the rope business with more than expected withdrawal of the offer to purchase clearly foreshadows the dreaded failure of Tirrenia early next year, thus laying the road with nearly two thousand workers their families. "
"The proposal to study the Federmar-Cisal - Pico concluded - is less farfetched than you might think it would be articulated in terms of funding on the same method used by the CIN (the consortium formed by shipowners Aponte, Grimaldi and Onorato, ed): pay for the acquisition and management of the fleet with secure grant money.
