Minister Passera confirmation the convocation of the unions on 10 January in order to examine the situation of Fincantieri



The minister of the Economic Development, Infrastructures and the Transports, Corrado Passera, has confirmed the convocation of the national unions for the evening of next tuesday to the aim to slowly examine the situation of the Fincantieri shaped after the recent presentation to the representatives of the workers of the new one of reorganization of the navalmeccanico group ( on 22 December 2011).

As a result of the announcement, this afternoon the workers of the genoese plant of the Fincantieri have finished to the today's action of protest against the possible closing of the genoese ship yard of Sestri West that has determined the partial block of the flights to the Christopher Columbus airport of the capital of Liguria. Al third day of strike, in fact, the workers have blocked the access to the departures of the airship station and some flights in arrival and departure are diverted on other airports.

The action of protest, than in these days has determined also the block of the activity in the genoese ship yard, is guided by Fiom-Cgil. The genoese and from Liguria secretariats of Cisl and Fim-Cisl have criticized the extreme and useless initiative defining today "the initiative of the Fiom to the airport of Genoa". "In the facts - Cisl and Fim-Cisl have explained - protest actions are not justified so ends, motivated you from the leaders of this organization in order to obtain an encounter with minister Passera on the destiny of the yard that cares about to they as for we, knowing perfectly that such encounter already is previewed for the next week, as official notice formally to the labor organizations by the prefect of Genoa".

"It is not making to lose hours of salary to the workers metal worker and mechanics and being created large uneasiness to the city - they have continued Cisl and Fim-Cisl - than resolve the problems, but working to productive and occupational solutions to carry to the table of the minister as our organization is making (issue that it is not resolved sure anticipating even than little days the encounters already previewed)".

"We ask also Cgil - they have concluded Cisl and Fim-Cisl - than, instead writing missives to the other labor organizations, explains to the leaders of the Fiom how much official notice to the presence of the maximum summits of Cgil, Cisl and Uil from the Prefecture of Genoa to the aim to avoid that someone tries to make to pass as a victory of the fights of the workers how much already for a long time programmed. We are in the most delicate phase of this dispute and someone does not realize that today servants not to be "bad", as declared, but to be "polishes" in order to obtain turned out positive. The true fights are alone those which have unitarally carried to obtain a so important table for the yard of Sestri, and those which gives media notoriety exclusively, not sure moreover ephemeral, to the presumed ones capipopolo".

From part its Fiom-Cgil has emphasized that the next reunion to Rome with minister Passera is convened today as a result of the action of protest of the workers of the navalmeccanico group. "The convocation of on 10 January next encounter in order - it has evidenced the secretariat of Cgil - Trade union office of Genoa - it is the result of the mobilization of the workers of Fincantieri. An encounter for a long time promised, but that it has obtained concreteness only after days of strike and actions of protest that the workers have mobilized for days and partially the citizens. Whoever says that this encounter was discounted - has explained the labor organization - refutes not only Cgil, the Fiom and the workers, but the same institutions and local authorities who in these days have actively worked in order to obtain it. Naturally us it cannot be satisfied of the date, but the contents of the argument will be rather determining that for how much it regards to us will have to preview the operating continuity of the yard of Sestri West".

"The Fiom and Cgil – the Trade union office of Genoa has still rimarcato - have been in all these days together with the workers of Fincantieri on strike and so have been able to explain in the detail the encounters that have been carried out in Prefecture and also the contents of the agreements signed from Cisl and Uil. instead have not seen between the workers or in assembly the representatives of these labor organizations in order to explain the contents than from they signed. They clarification would sure have illuminated we, the Fincantieri dependent and those of the contract companies on the goodness of their action. Sure he has be a matter himself of a forgetfulness, not certainly of a courage lack or of failing to most elementary it must than an union member. He can happen, but he is well to remember the facts before giving style lessons and of conduct trade-union, lessons that however Cgil chip ax, by who one avoids to I confront and above all worthy not even not to answer itself to letters".

The general secretary of Fiom-Cgil, Maurizio Landini, has announced that "as Fiom we will participate obviously to the encounter on Fincantieri that is convened today by minister Passera and that January near the ministry of the economic Development will be carried out in the evening of 10 tuesdays. For us - it has added - the scope of such encounter will be that to resume confronts on the specific problems of the group in the within of the shipbuilding field of the naval one, characterizing also ulterior appointments. I confront that it will have to be aimed at the definition of an understanding that, on the base of credible industrial solutions, answers to the requirements of productive development and safeguard of the occupation and all the yards of the group".
