October 18, 2019
Fit Cisl, Filt Cgil and Uiltrasporti have decided the immediate state of agitation of all the workers of the ports of Venice and Chioggia and the proclamation of a strike of 72 hours. "The ports of Venice and Chioggia - Marino De Terlizzi has denounced, regional secretary of Veneto di Fit Cisl is fundamental for the occupation and the economy of the territory, but Ministry of the Atmosphere, Ministry of Infrastructures and Trasporti and Provveditorato, not assuming the decision to proceed to the maintenance of the channels of entrance to the port, does not guarantee more nautical accessibility".
"It is - it has emphasized the national secretary of the Filt Cgil, Natale Colombo - a civilization battle that looks ahead, to the job and its defense and with conviction and determination we are beside the workers. The esteem on the lost job and that it will get lost cannot leave us indifferent and the start of a distance imposes us that does not leave chosen if not those of the mobilization so that the Ministry of the Atmosphere proceeds quickly, for own competences, to authorize the useful participations to the maintenance and the escavi of the backdrops. It goes respected the atmosphere, sure, but also the workers so that the job is safeguarded legacy to about 50 thousand the container who estimate themselves in less from here at the end of the year. We cannot absolutely - it has continued Columbus - allow an ulterior one I attack to the job and the port of Venice already choked from constraints and limitations that of it are precluding the development and the competitiveness. The limitations to the backdrops are damaging entire woven the commercial one of the port and all the activities that rotate around to it. We will make to feel our voice and our reasons everywhere are need to make it, because the job is precious not only for harbour and their territory but for the economy of our system country".
"This is a paradoxical crisis - they have concluded the unions - because the job does not lack, indeed the question is in increase, but if it does not proceed to the normal maintenance of channels and rivers the port closes".
