For Federmar-Cisal a specific CCNL for the field of the ferries is necessary



According to Federmar-Cisal it is necessary to define a specific National collective bargaining agreement for the field of the ferries employed in travels of short duration or the connections with the islands. For the union there are at least two valid reasons in order to support such demand: "in the first instance - Alessandro Pico has explained the national secretary - the more and more marked peculiarity of this type of activity regarding the other sections of navigation, peculiarity characterized, for how much he concerns the workers, from extremely intense and been extended rhythms of job, also beyond the fourteen every day hours of service. To notice, moreover - it has specified Pico - than in the contrattualistica for the Seafarers the creation of an appropriate for staff boarded collective contract on the ferries would not be an innovation from the moment that from always specific contracts for other asset exist: passengers, cruises, ship smaller, average special, tugs, hydrofoils. In the second place, and this is sure a not smaller aspect importance, the institution of a contract for staff of the ferries would be the better and more effective instrument in order to defend the occupational levels of the field: it does not go in fact forgotten that on the ships used after the transoceanici traffics in the composition of the crews is made blank sheet, also for the total absence about the structures that would have had to manage the marine the presence, labor market of the replaced Italian workers with those non-EU citizens and, fintantoché will stay standing the only contract - it has emphasized the representative of Federmar-Cisal - will be always the concrete risk that such practical one is extended also to the sailors of the ferries".

"That the Confitarma is not keen to face the separation of the collective contract - has continued Pico - is a fact and of internal balances to the association; less comprehensible they are instead the which showed titubanze to such care from the companies that operate in the field, which would have all the convenience to above all value of the specificity on the plan of the organization of the job on board of the ships, while still less comprehensible it is the opened hostility of the confederal unions, sure by one of they, after the shipowning companies have had free hand in the employment of the non-EU citizens to the place of the marine Italians".

Federmar-Cisal has announced that it intends to set upright again this argument in the course of the next trade-union reunion that it will have with the Fedarlinea for Tirrenia-CIN.
