Moreover, the aim to ask for every business alibi on the issues that concern some elements, which absenteeism, the discipline and the productive performance, considered fundamental from the same MCT Spa in order to share the extraordinary application of the redundancy fund to spin, the labor organizations have asked and obtained some important modifications for the distances and the parameters previously characterized and proposed from the enterprise. Consequently to this, we can assert that the procedures and the parameters gushed, after difficult a how much complex mediation and appraisal work, will be developed on the base of objective and not discriminatory criteria that will be estimated and junior clerks, after appropriate quarterly verification, beginning from the first trimester (absenteeism and discipline) and from according to trimester (for the merit parameter that will not be on an individual basis but of average of the terminal)".

A satisfactory, but credible engagement and therefore not completely exigible. Meaningful the declared engagement remains moreover that, on the "Organization of the Job", it will be continued to converse and to be confronted in the course of the first trimester, with the objective to adopt the best solutions possible apt to improve the efficiency and the quality of the life on the job".
"Holding also account from where mobility had been left (, aimed redundancy fund etc) - it has emphasized the regional secretary of Fit-Cisl - the agreement undersigned can be considered satisfactory also because it values and does not make useless all which until now had made himself united the institutions. In consideration moreover that the same agreement is born in order to at best govern a heavy crisis, the labor organizations that has it intentional and undersigned, have intended to find the best answers possible for anticipate and, at the same time, to maintain the optimal conditions for being able to exit from the crisis, ready to so create solid bases for the future of the job and the possible development in the area of Gioia Tauro as for the industrial and productive system of the Calabria".
"All this - it has concluded Annibale Fiorenza - still is not certainly sufficient, expects the full consent of the workers for being able, to turn page, to think to the future dedicating us to the things to claim and to make to realize to politics, the institutions and the enterprises in short and the medium term. The port of Gioia Tauro remains a priority objective that can characterize the carried out wait for the increase and the development of our Calabria. In order to make this it is important to continue to be confronted, to make synergy, to construct unit between the workers, between people, and in the fragmented world of the territorial interests that, until now, rarest times are oriented to interact a strong regional and national identity according to".
