Filt, Fit and Uilt invite to wind down the tones of the querelle on the employment of marine Italians
Referring to the Honored diatribe/Grimaldi, the parts exhort all to be confronted with the union
June 1, 2017

The representations unions Cgil Cisl and Uil of category of the marine field keep a distance from querelle between Vincenzo Onorato and Emanuele Grimaldi, that Moby/Tirrenia and Grimaldi guide respective the shipowning groups and that repeatedly they have exposed a diametrically opposite vision of as one considers that the other is entrusted to the Italian marineria, with first that denunciation the lacked employment marine Italians by according to which in its turn it characterizes as pretestuose the accusations and able more rather than to feed unemployment ( of the 9 and 10 May 2017)

Remembering to have still at the beginning of this querelle expressed an opinion on the current system of the International Registry, Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti of category, they restate "that it is not our interest to support one or the other position, because - they explain - we are convinced that we would have to act on the base of strategic factors and it does not establish quotas. The damage is sufficiently clear that immediately would have been come to create of forehead to an aggressive tone too much and to contained that they would demand groundbreaking and not tifoserie analyses".

"An appeal, ours - the labor organizations specify - than remained unheard has not been able to avoid that the controversy was addressed on the plan of the commercial competition between two of the more important society than marine transport. Not to case in the course of the audition to IX the Commission Transports of the Chamber, in occasion of the debate on the modification of law 30/98, we have found a deficiency of base analysis and almost an absence of the relationship costs/benefits".

Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti observe that "every Country with marine traditions has a flag registry, one can defer the other and turn out more competitive for issues tied to bureaucratic factors, of costs, obligation to which the shipowners must themselves be concerned that enroll you own fleets, but this depends very from the fiscal and social structure of which the same Countries they are equipped. He is undeniable - they specify - than the Italian Registry, in the first years of vigenza of law 30/98, has given impulse to the stabilization of the societies under the Italian flag and, in the respect of reported international constraints to defined the insulare and coastal cabotage in communitarian center, the data to consuntivo on the entity of the national fleet and the resource to communitarian the Italian staff/they are obvious. But it can be made always more and better. As labor organizations already then we did not consider sufficient the minimal number of communitarian Italians/for to have approached the fiscal benefits of the Tonnage Tax, so as we do not consider it neither sufficient today, but to have under way a single argument on a part of the law to reform could not guarantee a perspective vision".

"The topic of the strong presence of non-EU staff on board of ships clappers Italian flag - Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti find - is not a something that belong to this field from little years, but is a consolidated truth and that it expresses to total level also in all the other flags of world-wide the mercantile fleet. It is complex to make a punctual analysis of the deficiency of Italian marine occupation on our ships if before structural knots are not melted that on board penalize our system of professional adaptation to the requirements of the labor market. We could think, as it very often happens on the social, that he is sufficient to resolve all with the promulgazione of a law or some strike or protests. If it were so would be very simple: every month with a contextual manifestation and strike would be sufficient to ask a law on the job and all it would be resolved. But unfortunately it is not so".

"The marine field - the labor organizations remember - historically is globalizzato. To imagine to place constraints or protectionism in single States risks to put to risk its economic importance, its national occupation. The Italian marine occupation stimulates with other elements and foundations and has dynamics very more variable complex and. The world of the shipping is changing and changes day after day. The continuous automation and the innovation obligate to new challenges in terms of organization of the job and professionalizzazione. Iter formative that a young person undertakes in order to succeed in to become a marine worker must be coherent with that the market demands, is in terms of qualifications is in terms of certifications. The system of management of the encounter between supply and demand of marine job does not work and it does not hold account of dynamics is technological that professional in existence".

"We must head - Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti clarify - to reform a field that even labors to hold the account of own freshmen. Without to speak about the costs necessary to characterize own professional patrimony, often at the expense of the same marine workers, in order to return it spendable on the market of the professions also to international level. It must be a common objective, remembering us that the world of the shipping is in full evolution with strategies that go very beyond the borders of the modest today's debate. We must, therefore, to work for a new system of cetralized and computerized placement, going to exceed the system of the calls near the Harbours-office, being engaged these last ones to hold updated the documents that certify who is on board of the ships and who makes what".

"We must have - Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti continue - a sure picture of the formative requirements and of address for better being able to comprise what our centers of formation are making and under which control. We must operate since the next one I renew contractual of the marine field, that it expires between little months, so that the formation and the update of all the marine ones are at the expense of the shipowners; to always approach more the characteristics than guarantee and protection of the particular turn that of the CRL, reducing contextually the strong unstableness that weevers in this field. At the same time, for giving a sign hard to the Italian occupation, we must operate so that the numbers of the requirements in the armament tables are increased so as to reduce the strong workloads that are weighing on the current marine staff, increasing in fact the occasions of job for our young people. Moreover it is necessary to make actions of lobbing all with, convincing politics and the institutions to make to recognize the marine job as wearing job and to so afford the release of the turnover".

"Come Filt, Fit and Uiltrasporti - the unions still remember - we have already undertaken a distance of this type, with a table opened near the MIT. We invite the Ministry to pick the good job made in the harbour field in order to make active protagonist and to put again to the center of institutional the political debate/the topics of the sea and its I throw again, than it cannot prescind from an institutional place dedicated exclusively to the field. We return to face the problems in strategic terms, avoiding to make them to become single topics to emergenziale and media character. Certainly, the last events of judicial political report/do not help serene reflections useful to express a value judgment on the shipowning world or of wolves… of sea. However they will not be these ugly events to stuffed to desist looking for together with the workers, being confronted to us with the associations of datoriale representation and institutional, optimal solutions and forms in order to guarantee occupational stability to who already it is inserted in the organic ones and to who it thinks to construct own project of life working of the ships on board. We consider fundamental that all bury "the war axe" and they are put around to a table composed from unions, institutions and shipowners in order to find the solutions that they succeed in contemperare the expectations of the shipowning world with those of the marine ones, beginning from a meaningful increase of Italian staff on our ships beyond to clearly an improvement of the job conditions on board".

"Therefore - Filt, Fit and Uilt conclude - we invite all the actors to wind down the tones and if indeed they have to heart the Italian marineria, fundamental field for our nation, begins to be confronted with the union because in this way we only can find those indispensable points in municipality in order to win the challenges of the total market. If we make team, in the respect of the particular interests that everyone of we represents, there will be sure the conditions in order to throw again the marine field, but if it is wanted to be continued with it proclaim to who he is more "vituous Bravo and" denigrating the others, not will be steps ahead in positive sense. The confederal union is ready to make its part. Al government and to the parliament we ask to guide a process, than if left in the hands of shipowners against the other or politicians many legacies to single lobbies will carry solo damn to the Country”.
