Agostinelli has explained that medium at the beginning of every turn of job 47% of the force job are absentee, "and I refer - it has specified - to an absent force of workers that is with justice in vacation, or they are using of the permissions, or they are in disease, or the so-called "last-minute" diseases communicated at the last moment to the employer". "We reach percentages of this entity and - he has added - I sincerely am worried and today I feel myself launch the pebble in the pond".

Here it cannot be so. Because here we are a great port, we are a great region, is the greatest company than this Region that has many problems but also many possibilities. And - it has concluded - to not it wants nothing us: it wants people to us that work, that has to cure the love for own job".
