Nicolini (Confetra): To deal with the virus emergency, we need a clear discipline to protect the workers in our sector
In the forthcoming government decree, he stressed, the supply chain of logistics and freight transport must be considered among those most affected
March 13, 2020
"We are - recalled Nicolini - the labour sector intensive care, with 100,000 companies for about one million and half of workers: truck drivers, train drivers, drivers, couriers, porters, handlers, warehouse workers. Workers who, for they move things, they transfer goods, they travel. It is often works in teams, like dockers, or you go in and out of factories, plants, shops, houses to pick up or deliver goods. It seems to me intuitive that, in the context of prohibitions and limitations draconian mobility, ours is the most short-circuit risk. And, in fact, it's happening, in all over Italy and in all segments, with strikes, blockades, illness and various disruptions involving ports, deliveries, warehouses, transport, rail freighter."
"The risk," stressed the President of Confetra, " is that the much-feared total lock down can come true Facto. The Minister has assured us that, subject to further rapid social partners, the issue will be addressed and resolved in the next few hours. We also reiterated to the Minister that, in the forthcoming decree of the President of the Council of Ministers, the supply chain of logistics and freight transport must absolutely be considered among the most affected.'
