Apulian (Cisl Puglia): to Taranto it goes interrupted every relationship with TCT and goes recovered the public character of the port



Cisl denunciation the stall situation that has been come to create in the port of Taranto for inertia - accusation the union - of the terminalista society Taranto Container Terminal (TCT), that it is under responsibility of the groups Evergreen and Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH) and that manages the container terminal to the Polisettoriale Pier of the apulian port.

Commenting the news of a new dismissal of the encounter with the unions on the mass in mobility of 160 workers of TCT, the general secretary of UIL di Puglia, Aldo Pugliese, it has said that "the umpteenth nothing in fact does not constitute certainly reason by surprise. It is a mawkish soap opera - it has explained - that it goes ahead by now from many months, indeed from many years. From when the TCT Evergreen Hutchinson has obtained the management of the Polisettoriale Pier of the port of Taranto: by the situation of the harbour workers certainly it is then not improved, as they demonstrate to the lay-offs in always promised series and the turnover and never realized".

"Happened how much - it has continued the representative of the union - is part integrating of the mentality of enterprise TCT. The same mentality that has transformed in monopolistic the management of the ionic port, moving away in fact the interested companies to carry own ships on the spot and contravening to stipulated how much from the 50ennale agreement for the management of the Polisettoriale Pier".

"He is outright - it has criticized Apulian - as all the demands advanced from the TCT in order to withdraw mobility of the workers are alone excuses in order not to fulfill to own duties. Anyway, up to the present, in spite of the nomination of commissioner Prete and the availability of 400 million for the infrastructural requirements of the port, comprised those advances from the TCT there - it has found - the same one it maintains mobility of 160 workers, avoids to introduce own industrial plan and it does not proceed with the investments that would have to realize contextually to the participations of the commissioner. We are in front of same, the mawkish one solfa of when the TCT asked the dredging, the outer dam, the logistic plate, the highway riser: only smoke in the eyes and alibi without foundation".

"In order to do so as that the port of Taranto buys back the first floor role that competes to it in the Mediterranean - it has concluded the general secretary of UIL regional - it goes interrupted every relationship with the TCT and goes recovered the public character of the port, currently, instead, in the hands of private (the Ilva, Cementir, Eni and, exactly, TCT), if exception for the single San Cataldo Pier is made. The example of Bari, to complete public management and with the records recorded in 2011 (two million passengers and six million tons of goods), demonstrates that it is the right roads to follow in order to start a new process of development of the port tarantino".
