January 11, 2012

The unions Fim-Cisl and Uilm have been declared satisfied of the engagement declared from the government to support throw again of the navalmeccanico group Fincantieri, while Fiom-Cgil does not consider the promise of the executive sufficient, indeed the Federation Employed Metallurgical Workers of Cgil judges "disappointing" the outcome of the encounter in order to last night examine the perspectives of the company held to Rome near the ministry of the economic Development.

In the course of the reunion the holder of the ministry, Corrado Passera, "has confirmed the strategic importance of the shipbuilding industry for the national economy, emphasizing - a note of the ministry explains - the engagement that the executive intends to reserve to throws again of Fincantieri, beginning from the will to give a future to all the sites in which work the company. In particular, the will of the government is restated to strengthen this industrial field, with the completion of the store clerks already deliberated, the support to the commercial law actions of the company and the confirmation of the financings in search and innovation".

Moreover minister Passera has placed the accent on the importance "to diversify and to widen the offer to specialized platforms, also for giving greater certainty to the productivity of all the yards".

By the government it is explained that "on these bases the next encounters of verification of the reorganization plan will be confirmed and throw again of Fincantieri" and that, "thanks to the involvement of the territorial institutions, will be accelerated iter of realization of the engagements assumed for Sestri the West (through the agreement of program) and Castellammare di Stabia".

At last Passera has expressed appreciation for the understanding reached 21st December near the ministry of the Job, "thanks to which it will be possible to guarantee the protection of the yield of the workers" ( on 22 December 2011).

Fim-Cisl has appreciated the engagement of the executive and the national secretary of the union, Alberto Monticco, has emphasized that the encounter yesterday "is the confirmation of the interest by the shipbuilding government for the naval one, a strategic field for the economy and the industry of our Country". "The minister - he has found - has shared and appreciated the formulation of the agreement on 21 December, defining it an optimal agreement that guarantees the maintenance of all the sites and the agreed management of the surplus. The minister has moreover confirming the engagement of the government for throws again of Fincantieri and the safeguard of all the sites engaging itself, also regarding local the public administrations so that they give to continuity of the engagements taken on diversification and investments".

"We have appreciated - it has continued Monticco - the role carried out from the minister and consider the fact extremely positive that is confirmed the given formulation the agreement on 21 December, also because, the alternative plan of the advisor of Fintecna was pejorative regarding the plan on 3 June, to leave again therefore from the confirmation of integrity of the group, is a extremely important fact that it would have to be valued from all the trade-union front in a serious way and responsible".

"There will be shortly - it has concluded the national secretary of Fim-Cisl - a verification and a monitoring of the autorizzativo distance regarding the program agreements, is therefore a real engagement in order to throw again the company and to confirm the strategicità and role, maintaining opened all the sites of the group".

"The minister of the economic Development - they have agreed the secretaries general and national of the Uilm, Rocco Palombella and Mario Ghini - has judged the plan of reorganization of Fincantieri truly very made and has considered the agreement reached in last month of December between company and unions "a result flower". Corrado Passera moreover has engaged itself to first hand follow the realization of the agreements of program sign for Genoa and Palermo guaranteeing beginning right now I confront specific with the unions metal worker and mechanics as soon as the study of feasibility of the basin of construction for Castellammare di Stabia will be concluded".

It is Fim-Cisl that Uilm has remembered that the agreement on 21 December previews "the maintenance of all the sites and a agreed management of the surplus" and has restated that this "has avoided that it was proceeded with the plan managed from the advisor, slowly managed after on 3 June, that previewed, besides the closing of the yards of Sestri Ponente and Castellamare di Stabia, also the amalgamation to the yards of Monfalcone and Muggiano of the two directional mansions of Trieste and Genoa and the drastic reorganization of the yard of Palermo that would have been destined to the sun repairs and transformations" ( of 3 and 22 june 2011). "Therefore - they have observed Fim-Cisl and Uilm having restated their dissaproval regarding the position assumed from Fiom-Cgil - a lot criticized local agreements and still more that national on 21 December last month has been those which at the end have afforded to maintain to the oneness and integrity of the group in the national context, while if we had listened to the strategies of some other labor organization, today unfortunately we would be forced to face tragic perspectives of reorganization and closing of sites".

"The minister - they have emphasized Fim-Cisl and Uilm - has confirmed moreover the engagement of the government to the maintenance of all the sites of the group, the engagement to the realization of the military program Frem regarding the financing of the fifth and sixth unit, the engagement with respect to the investments on research & development and to the necessity to on 21 December pursue the alternative programs putting into effect previewed how much in the agreement on the new productions of platforms for the treatment of the refusals, wind power, offshore, floating systems LNG, jails, taking part on the local institutions and supporting them also for research purposes of eventual financings. They will go also verified, with specific encounters - they have confirmed the two unions - the state of advance of the agreements of program of Sestri West and Palermo: on this topic there is the engagement of the government to make to participate the labor organizations to the pilotage committees, while for the basin of construction of Castellamare di Stabia, there is the engagement of the minister to convene the labor organizations, once received the feasibility plan, for an analysis of the results and in order to share with the distance to start".

"An encounter therefore - they have concluded Fim-Cisl and Uilm - very positive that throws again the importance and the strategicità of the field, the oneness and integrity of the company and reaffirms the will not to close some plant. For national Fim and Uilm this encounter with the government and the consequent expressed positive judgment from the minister of the agreement on 21 December, is the confirmation, in the facts, the contents and the lines of industrial politics, of the value of this agreement and the importance of our choice to sign it". Fim-Cisl and Uilm have announced that in the next few days they will manage a calendar of informative assemblies, are of the agreement on 21 December that of the encounter on 10 January, in all the sites of the Fincantieri group.

Fiom-Cgil has not considered instead sufficient the engagement of the government for throws again of Fincantieri assured from the minister Passera, which - the general secretary of the union has remembered, Maurizio Landini - it was asked for riconvocare the company in order to discuss the division about workloads. Moreover Passera - Landini has remembered - has expressed appreciation for the understanding on 21 December, separate agreement that Fiom-Cgil does not have undersigned and that pejorative regarding the scenes shown previously deems.

The outcome of the encounter yesterday has triggered the protest of the workers of the genoese ship yard of Sestri West, than at the end of next March it will exhaust its workload.
