Voluntary pact in order to save the workers of the port of Livorno in difficulty



In order to save the workers of the port of Livorno in difficulty a voluntary pact is agreed that constraints all the parts to define a distance shared for the management of the working emergencies. The initiative is approved of today by unions, institutions and enterprises reunited for the second time after the encounter last December to the term of which the real numbers of the occupational difficulties in port were emerged: 100 workers in less regarding 2010.

The objectives that task force the anti-crisis was fixed to reach in these months were two: to understand, on the base of the data on the supplied resource to the redundancy fund and the extraordinary ones from the enterprises, which has been to Livorno the real impact of the financial tsunami begun in far away 2008 with the failure of Lehman Borthers and moved then to the real economy through the credit crunch of the enterprises. And, successively, to define a fan of initiatives to promote in order to reorganize, or better, to soften in some way the situation of hundred of workers who today risk to lose the place of work.

The Harbour Authority of Livorno has announced that not there is still clarity on the effective amount of hours in extraordinary worked by every single employee inside each enterprise, but the picture of with of the supplied partial data from the companies offers however the image of a more and more wide scissor between who, in the presence of an increase of the commercial traffics, has reached, and in sure cases, exceeded the roof of the 250 hours of extraordinary and who instead has laid off more than some worker (is about 630 the dependent that to spin have had use of the social shocks-absorber). A situation judged worrisome from the unions and the same president of the harbour agency, Giuliano Gallanti, that it has tried to trace a road map to which they have then joined all the involved subjects.

The plan previews the definition of a "social clause" that you engage the parts to define for a how much possible shared method of participation with respect to the eventual absorption of all the fired workers or on the point of being sent at home.

The other point regards the respect of the rules in port: "we are seeing the plans of enterprise of the 20 subjects authorized to the development of the harbour operations - Gallanti has explained - and is clear, we cannot more accept false article 16, those which work to day. All must be recalled to the respect of law 84/94, more are not admitted exceptions".

These and other proposals will be put down in writing inside a "social contract" that it will come soon written up from the competent offices of the Harbour Authority. Successively, enterprises and unions will meet in order to sign it.
