Port of Genoa, asked for strike of the road haulage, but outlines the risk of the block of the work of the Third Pass
The representatives of the Movement 5 Stars restate the intention to close the yards
March 6, 2018
If today the port of Genoa records the positive outcome of the agreement that cancels strike of the haulers who enliven the containerized trade via road between the harbour port of call and the home markets, action of protest that was proclaimed for 8, 9 and 10 March next, a threat more in the long term for the railway connections of the port of the capital of Liguria seems to outline after the outcome of the svoltesi general elections past Sunday.
The understanding with the Authority of Harbour System of the Ligurian Sea Western in order to create a center of services for the drivers of Tir in the before large square terminal VTE to Genoa, that it has induced the unions to revoke strike, is - they have emphasized the national secretaries of the Filt Cgil, Giulia Guida and Natale Colombo - "a very positive agreement". "To adapt infrastructures of service as roads, freeways, ports and to interpose to you with areas very equipped - they have evidenced - it increases the quality in transport and it guarantees the work safety and to the street circulation".
"Moreover - they have added the two national leaders of the Filt - to take part on the quality of infrastructures with the creation of a center services and inhabited modules it means also to improve the conditions of job and the quality of the rest of the driver. The spaces and the levers that the reform of the ports offers to the improvement of the conditions of the job of the field are enormous and go absolutely taken advantage of. Infrastructures and services - they have concluded Guida and Columbus - represent the crucial point on which it goes developed the economy of the Italian ports and the cited agreement goes taken to reference and realized in all the Country".
To this positive innovation in the field of the road haulage services one of opposite tenor in the field of railway infrastructures joins some. A possible stop to the work for the construction of the Third Pass is shown in fact, the new railway line to high ability that will connect the port of Genoa with the Flat one of Novi Ligure in Po Plain in the within of the Rhine-Alps Corridor of the European infrastructural net TRIES.
To show the block of the yards he has been Alice Salvatore, president of the advisory group in Liguria Region of the Movement 5 Stelle, exited political force it win from the elections of Sunday having obtained 32.7% of the ballots for I renew of the Chamber and 32.2% for the Senate, with plurinominali quotas that in administrative division of the Liguria have turned out pairs respective to 30.12% and to 29.62%. For a long time the M5S has manifested the will to oppose itself to the prosecuzione of the work and, hard of the electoral outcome, Savior it has confirmed this intention.
It is a purpose that has provoked the worry of the entrepreneurial and trade-union organizations. "We are pleased - the general secretary Cisl Liguria has commented, Luca Maestripieri - than the spokesman of the pentastellati ones has declared not to be contrary to the great works to prescind, but of only osteggiare those which the Movement judges useless. He is on this concept but - he has specified Maestripieri - that it is necessary to discuss, because the Third railway Pass, than Alice Salvatore she would want to block, useless is not. The fact that us has been inquiries and arrests, than the bad management of the work it has carried the magistracy to inquire, does not mean that the work is useless. It serves the maximum rigor on the topic of the legality, but this does not have to become a alibi in order not to make the things. The workers are however victims, from any part look at themselves, and of this account cannot not be held".
"Servants - it has continued Maestripieri - greater control, norms that avoid corruption cases, is need of a new way to plan the works because not impattino on than the more closely necessary territory, respecting of the inhabitants. But to stop how much already realized - it has emphasized the representative of Cisl Liguria - would not be positive for nobody. Current the railway lines, in fact, are not more sufficient and, above all, they demonstrate signs of ancientness wide. We believe is necessary I confront with all the political forces in order to clarify the concept that the great yards are not solo "immediate" job for the dependent of the societies that have them in contract, but also oxygen for the companies of the Liguria that they discount a infrastructural handicap that is under observation of all. We do not to through the child with water gets dirty - he has concluded Maestripieri - we do not waste the job of the workers, we do not put to risk the future of the enterprises that would benefit of the ended work, included those which they work in tourism, to light of the fact that the Third Pass would have to become also a line fleeting".
