Cgil, we block the transit of the great ships to Venice without to penalize the portualità



Also Cgil takes part on the topic of the transit of the great ships in the Lagoon of Venice exhorting not to penalize the harbour activities. "Cgil - the Metropolitan Trade union office of Venice specifies - totally is convinced of the necessity to block the transit of the great ships from the Basin of San Marco and the Channel of the Giudecca, but it is equally sure that the solution cannot absolutely question the harbour and industrial activity of Marghera. For this it mentions to mayor Orsoni, to governor Zaia and the Venetian and Venetian parliamentarians, as well as to the same government, the strong worry of the 5,500 ready harbour workers to mobilize itself against hypotheses that would suffocate the commercial port and its potentialities of development, decreeing some the decline".

"Al mayor, Zaia and the government - the union explains - we ask if in extending the projects how much has been estimated the displacement, also only temporary, of the great ships to Marghera impacts on the activities of the commercial port that enlivens 5,500 ships per year and in which operates six commercial terminalisti (some of which to international character) and 10 industrial terminalisti.
We ask if one has happened if the occupation of some areas does not involve the abandonment or the restriction of productive activities and if not there is the danger that the transfer to Marghera of the cruise ships does not produce a lowering of the level of competitiveness of the Venetian port of call".

The labor organization remembers that, "pushed from these worries, and against the tightening-up of the tones and the radicalità assumed from the debate, Cgil of Venice on 28 August had written to the mayor asking an encounter. This - the Trade union office of Venice finds - becomes still more necessary one against the convocation of a table by the Prime Minister that cannot be carried out in the city prescinding from the appraisals and the contributions of the present forces, world of work overhead. To Confindustria, engaged to support the Strategic Plan for Port Marghera 2020, we ask if it considers that this can develop without a port commercial-manufacturer to strong competitive ability. Al president Zaia we ask if indeed it thinks that the development of Veneto can prescind from the opportunities offered from the port of Venice, whose role becomes still more important against the fact that the region sees to increase with values to two figures (+21% in the first half of 2013) the exports towards area OPEC while the sales in Europe (- 2.2% drop)".

"It would be commits suicide - Cgil of Venice emphasizes - to operate chosen that compresses the operativity of the port of call own when it has become possible to enlarge the frank area of the port and in which some important international terminalisti as Vecon have brought back to Venice great transoceaniche ships that they give years had abandoned to us. Cgil considers that this truth can and must still grow, intercepting, thanks to the greater efficiency and quality of the services that is necessary to develop, traffic quotas that journey for the Mediterranean and arrive to bordering countries to we passing for the ports of the Europe north".

"We are convinced - the union concludes - than only leaving from an overall picture on the city and on its productive and commercial vocation it can be reasoned on the several hypotheses that regard the future of Venice and consider that also a reasoning on the great ships goes led back in this within, searching every possible solution for the occupational safeguard".
