UIL exhorts the Region Apulia to take part in order to ask for the mass in mobility of 160 dependent of Taranto Container Terminal



The regional secretariat UIL di Puglia and Bari has exhorted the Region Apulia to take part in order to ask for the mass in mobility of 160 dependent announced from Taranto Container Terminal (TCT), the society that manages the container terminal of the port of Taranto and that the shipowning group taiwanese Evergreen is under responsibility of and to the terminalista group Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH) of Hong Kong.

"The Region Apulia - the general secretary of UIL di Puglia and Bari has explained, Aldo Pugliese - shouts before the situation, already in itself indefensible, reaches a point of no return". In particular, the labor organization has invited the regional city council member to the Transports, Guglielmo Minervini, to program a urgent encounter with the local unions and institutions in order "to estimate the measures to put in field, the context of a serious and concrete industrial plan, to the aim to save the port of Taranto from a debacle announced and to throw again of the activity".

"Other that 160 lay-offs - it has denounced Apulian - here the only lay-off would have to be that of the same TCT, for obvious violation of the fifty-year contract of management in which compromised to put in field investments for the development and the competitiveness of the ionic port. The many companies that are escaped Taranto demonstrate, instead, that nothing it is made".

"At the end last year - the trade-union representative has remembered - an agreement whom, between the other things, it established that came true the TCT put in safety the docks of the pier to the aim to afford the dredgings, for which they are available 80 million that now risks to go lost. Nevertheless it had been the same TCT, in recent years, to put in evidence as the absence of dredgings meant to pander to the block of the activity. But there is more: besides the financing for the dredging there is the serious possibility to impoverish also that of the Cipe for the harbour works (logistic platform and outer dam overhead). A vain avalanche promised that they are pushing a strategic port of call to European level, which is Taranto, towards the abyss".

Apulian has remembered moreover that "already last year Delta 1, company in orbit TCT, had supplied to the mass in mobility of 70 workers, to which joins the 50 of the lacked one turnover the TCT. In short, a similar management of a fundamental patrimony of the apulian economy does not have to be more allowed".

According to the regional secretariat of UIL, to Taranto cincischia elsewhere while it is travelled to 100 to the hour: "it is thought - it has found Apulian - to the conspicuous participations of Unicredit to Trieste, to the connections between Genoa and Rotterdam and central Europe, to the constant increase of the Spanish and North African ports. Or registry is changed or it is seriously risked to close down".
