Filt-Cgil, Fit-Cisl and Uiltrasporti have accused Genoa Confindustria to oppose themselves to any attempt to discuss the modalities in order to increase safety in the port of the capital of Liguria. In a letter sent to the association of the genoese manufacturers, to the Authority of Harbour System of the Ligurian Sea Western, to the Harbour office of Genoa and the ASL Port they have denounced that in the sitting of the committee hygiene and safety of the port of held Genoa tuesday in order to discuss the lines about initiative and activity on the critical meteorological conditions (wind, rain, sea, high temperatures, etc) i representatives of the workers "have had to record the participation of total closing of the representatives of stiff Genoa Confindustria not to want to face the argument in object minimally, but indeed to intrench on the responsibilities already defined from the enforced norm. We remember - the three unions specify in the letter - than in the past in the same committee hygiene and safety Confindustria had shared the necessity of a specific decree of AP on the adverse conditions weather".

"Today - the letter continues - we take note that Genoa Confindustria has changed completely its initial position that has it capacity to desert, various from Savona Confindustria, to the two it meet precedence convened from the institutions. We have reason to believe that this is the result of deep divisions on the topic of safety and not only inside of the genoese terminalisti that return incapable to find them a synthesis. All this adds to the objective responsibilities that the companies have for law also the political responsibility not to want to face the topics of this importance. As labor organizations we think instead that there is the necessity of rules aimed and homogenous inside of the port in order to avoid that safety is transformed in an element of competition between fallen back harbour operators with dramatic on the workers".
