The collective lay-off of the 210 workers of the Cagliari International Container Terminal (CICT), the society of the group Contship Italy that manages the terminal for containers to the Port Channel of Cagliari, has like lightning reached, if not own serene sky, to ulteriorly alarm the labor organizations for the risen ones of the workers of the terminalista society and of those which they operate in the induced one. The decision of the board of directors of the CICT to resort to the collective lay-off is returned note friday from the daily paper "the Sardinian Union", that it has specified as this proposal must be ratified from the assembly of the associates of the company, validation that seems discounted.
That for CICT the cessation of the activity is decided the confirmation also a note of thursday of the company of German navigation Hapag-Lloyd that has communicated of "being forced to stop with immediate effect the cargo acceptance from and for Cagliari as CICT, the terminal operator of Cagliari, has stopped to serve portacontenitori ships".

"The shown lay-offs - it has specified the representative of the Fit Cisl - do not regard only the workers of the CICT but they hit all the entire economy of the territory; 210 lay-offs mean families without salary and mean an inevitable fallen back on all the economic activities of the region not to mention the repercussions on the hundreds of indirect workers and of the induced one".
"The patience, the tenacity and the sense of responsibility of the labor organizations, but above all of the workers - it has continued Breads - are made useless by the arrogance from the presumption and from a blind vision of with of the company that in Hush from various months, having other strategy and some industrial plan of I do not throw again, only now after the great mobilization of the harbour ones of thursday 6 it imposes this drastic solution".
"Come Cisl Trasporti - it has concluded Breads - we confide that the encounter to the Ministry of Infrastructures and of the next the 13 Transports of june is decisive and resolver in finding positive solutions to the case. For the Fit Cisl and the workers the beginning of a dispute is not the end but only that we will get ahead until when the safeguard of all the occupational levels is not guaranteed to the workers but above all, is avoided, than the great professionality and competence of the harbour work force is dispersed and let out by the system port. We want to live of job and not of social shocks-absorber".
