Wolves: positive the outcome of the encounter with Costa Crociere. But the unions ask answers on the occupation



Much ado about nothing. The shakespearian phrase would seem to adapt itself perfectly to the event of the transfer decided by Costa Crociere of part of own activities from the headquarters of Genoa to Amburgo. A displacement that would have an impact, second allegated how much from the genoese institutions and the unions, on 161 dependent of the crocieristica company. It is an initiative that has provoked the ignited protests of the workers of Coast in reaction to the declarations of the German managing director Michale Thamm, offensive deductions if not quite libellous in it confronts of the Italian dependent of the company.

An incandescent situation, until yesterday. Today it seems returned all to normality, indeed better. To conclusion of the today's encounter to Rome with the summits of the crocieristica company the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports, Maurizio Lupi, has announced that Costa Crociere not dismette activity in Italy, but indeed throws again with new investments. "Costa Crociere and the Carnival group - he has assured the minister - still consider Genoa and Italy a fundamental strategic point and of the activity". Wolves have specified that Coast will not diminish the occupation in Italy, but are in forecast displacements of functions, and that the company has been engaged to introduce to the institutions own industrial plan.

The same Thamm has guaranteed that the company will maintain "heart, spirit and brain in Italy". Replying to the recent declarations of the minister in which it had remembered to the company that in Italy makes use of specific fiscal facilities, the managing director of Costa Crociere has emphasized that the company is "the only crocieristica society that Italian flag beats and the only one that wage the taxes in Italy".

Also Filt Cgil favorably judges the outcome of the today's summit. "It is positive - it has found the national secretary of the labor organization, Nino Cortorillo - the engagement of the local institution and Ministry of Transportation in following the evolution of the activity of Costa Crociere to Genoa". "Seen the announcement by the shareholder of strategies of development in our Country - but it has specified Cortorillo - we will not accept eventual esuberi of staff". "Already from next week - it has added the secretary of the Filt Genoa, Giacomo Santoro - they are opened with the unions confronts to local level on the activities of the company to Genoa, waiting for the presentation, of new to the Ministry, the industrial plan".

According to Fit-Cisl, instead, the scene it is still today completely negative, as if in the encounter to Rome two various languages have been spoken - English from the Thamm German and the Italian from the Italian Wolves - and that the interlocutors have not been able to agree. "- Giovanni Olivieri has confirmed the national coordinator of Fit-Cisl for the marine transport - absolutely we are not satisfied of the outcome of the reunion. They have not been dates answers to the problem of the transfer of the 156 dependent to Amburgo. I do not understand because - it has added - the industrial plan of Coast will be introduced the next week and not already today in front of the minister. Passing the ball to a local table with E region Municipality, in order then to return to Rome, us seems only a loss of time. The only thing that remains sure is that continuous the Carnival group to benefit of the previewed fiscal facilities for the ships in international registry also for the ships of Aida Cruise, totally German society is for staff administrative to Rostock is for that marine one, and invests its revenues in a pole of excellence to Amburgo". "Now - it has concluded Olivieri - we attend to see the industrial plan, but while we ask to be part active in all the local tables and national and we do not want to be only called to made damages, as often it happens, in order to try to put again with the potsherds. We want also to remember to the company that up to now we have avoided to involve in the protest the crews, own in order to avoid that the crash was aggravated".
