Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti have announced that strike in the Italian ports that they have unitarally indetto in order today is having full success: "they are highest - they have explained the three unions - the adhesions to national strike of the workers of the ports and the attache's to the nautical services technical with tips until 100%". Scope of the initiative - they have remembered - is to protest "against the will of the government to introduce in the Italian ports liberal norms with degenerate effects on the protections and the quality of the job".
The comment inforMARE
Us only the taken one position of a military body in the been extended one, and it seems little productive, political debate lacked on the update of the legislation in harbour matter.
To overwhelm such gap volonterosamente the Harbour office of Genoa has been lend that has picked the occasion of the mass in safety of some ships hit from the force of the wind in the port of the capital of Liguria in order to emphasize how much the realized public service from the technical-nautical services "is important for safety, also environmental, and the operativity of a port as that of Genoa and than their valence of essential public service is indispensable".
"No private subject in competition position - it has intentional to specify the Harbour-office - could guarantee those performances that only the public nature of the technical-nautical services, under the coordination, the regulation and the position of guarantee assumed from the Marine Authority, can assure, in ordinary situations but above all in the extreme conditions as those yesterday, guaranteeing a qualified presence h24, highest professionality, safety, effectiveness and organizational efficiency".
Reunited tugs, than Wednesday through means of its society Reunited Tugs Port of Genoa has given an essential contribution to the mass in safety of the ships put in danger from the wind, is a privately-owned company, than but work in monopoly regime.
To all it is not just very clearly as never a privately-owned company manages in monopoly a service of public character and because such task does not come rather entrusted to an appropriate public company.
In more: does the private one work well and conscientiously only when it is not place in competition with other companies? When it has on the neck the breath of the competition work badly and with negligence? The Harbour office of Genoa does not have doubts with regard to.
From always if latita politics or ammelma are the soldiers to demand the right to govern. When they obtain it or of the outcomes take control are not never happy.

"Second the collected data - they have specified the three labor organizations of category - adhesions of 100% and you garrison and blocks to it crosses of incomes of the terminals in the ports of Venice, Trieste Palermo Ancona and to Ravenna, where it has been a garrison of 500 workers in front of the Prefecture. To Genoa, where the garrison in Prefecture has interested 400 workers, the adhesion is attested to 95%, as to Savona and to the port of Gioia Tauro. To Naples firm of 90% of the workers with procession and the garrison as in the ports of Salerno and Bari. To La Spezia and Cagliari stop to 70% of the activities".
According to Filt, Fit and Uilt, "the adhesion of the workers must push the government to start confront true with the social parts for a distance of reform of the ports participated and with the involvement of the Parliament, in case contrary - they have admonished - the day today is only the beginning of a conflict that could also be extended to other fields connected to the ports".
If from the unions the exhortation reaches giving course to a participated procedure of the reform of the legislation in harbour matter, from the opposition arrives an analogous invitation, but above all the inducement heading for the increase and the investments in the ports. Emphasizing that "Greece with a brave decision on its port has allowed the doubling of the containers in arrival with the consequent ones fallen back on the tax revenue and the occupation in the logistics and in transport", the national responsible transports of Forza Italia, I undermine Giachino, and the group leader in Commission Transports of the Chamber, Sandro Biasotti, has found that instead in Italy "with beyond 20 ports, very more neighbors at the market European of Greece, in spite of some positive performances in some ports, from years we are arrest warrants to 5-6 million containers (the double quantity of Greece, the half of those which receives the port alone of Rotterdam)".
Giachino and Biasotti have remembered moreover that "the government had to introduce on 12 February within the Plan of the Ports and the logistics" for whose drawing up had named "a not representative working group of the field (having outside cut to logistic unions, conveyors and operators)" that - has denounced the exponents of Forza Italia - "it has worked to a document ridicolmente secretato that however according to who has been able it to read does not appear very brave and today it is in the hands of minister Lupi".
"While the argument seems paralyzed from the divisions between PD and minister on the order to give to the Harbour Authorities, we, in the day of strike of the harbour workers - they have continued Giachino and Biasotti - we ask the minister for being very braver and than to head above all for the increase that is the priority for the Country. The increase and the investments to make in the ports are the objective which it must be answered. From this point of view - they have observed - in the Plan of the ports, it is sure priority the new dam to the port of Genoa, the port that must have a supported increase if our Country wants to have another weight in the world-wide traffics. The governance and the reform of the ports - they have concluded - are important, but they are matter precipua of the Parliament and must be discussed democratically".
