Uiltrasporti, a mistake to abandon the ports in the hands of shipowning and terminaliste companies interested only to the speculation



"Strike today of the workers of the port of Cagliari strengthens our worries and confirmation the present time of the motivations of that national one 23rd May". They have emphasized the general secretary and the national secretary of the Uiltrasporti, Claudio Tarlazzi and Marco Odone, having commented the outcome of the today's manifestation of protest to the port of Cagliari promoted from Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti in order to denounce the absence of any participation of the institutions in order to resolve the crisis situation that characterizes the activity in the field of the container of the Sardinian port of call.

"The absence of national politics of the transports and of a coordination to central level for infrastructure - they have found the two representatives of Uiltrasporti - has allowed with the companies of shipping and the harbour terminalisti buying up great part of our docks without to guarantee in fact, traffics and development of our harbour system. To aggravate the situation the crisis of the transhipment is then addition, whose effects are seen today to Cagliari, but that during the last few years it had already determined the collapse of the ports of Gioia Tauro and Taranto".

"Although our sollicitations to the Ministry of Transportation for the activation of a permanent table of I confront on the emergencies of the portualità - they have continued Tarlazzi and Odone - we have not received today some reply, neither to nothing are worth the territorial demands in order to ask for the obvious one to incedere of the crisis of the port of Cagliari. It is not acceptable that the life or the dead women of a port is in the hands of entrepreneurial groups that even avoid to correcting confront trade-union. So that the ports and the harbour job are not annulled by a free will of naval gigantism and the automation - they have evidenced the two secretaries of the labor organization - it is necessary as soon as possible to create a true cabin of direction of the Italian ports participated from the social parts, and that a true public control on these so much strategic infrastructures for the Country is exercised. Urgent instruments of re-balance of organic the port and professional requalification based on the changes of the ship are necessary. At last it is necessary to allow the exodus anticipated of the harbour ones in case of crisis or incapacity".

"The harbour ports and workers - they have concluded Tarlazzi and Odone - are a necessary patrimony to the increase of the GDP of the Country and to the economic resumption of our manifacturing industry. To abandon them in the hands of shipowning and terminaliste companies interested only to the speculation without to carry development, would be an enormous blow for the enterprises and the citizens of the Country".
