April 30, 2020
"The economic revival of the country - noted Tags - must also pass through measures of strong public and private incentives; at the head of the list places a 24-hour operation in the collection and distribution of goods in warehouses, logistics platforms, in port terminals and interportals. This means, as is the case in most Community ports, manage shifts in such a way that they do not congest the hours to allow compliance with space rules, to allow the distance rules to be respected, exploit roads and highways when citizens are stationary and significantly reduce unnecessary and expensive (unpaid) hours of waiting.'
Tagnochetti specified that a transport vehicle is machinery in a worker-led industry that is must produce for nine hours of driving to generate the right revenue. A vehicle that suffers downtime for three or four hours - has explained - it doesn't even cover fixed costs and it's right in that blackout that you generate safety and respect issues of the road code for travelling staff, forced to operating in conditions that are now well over the limit of Guard.
"Recovering in productivity- concluded the Ligurian coordinator of Transportunit - is of interest to the company as well as for the worker, allies in the defense framework of rules to be respected, in the search for profits and in the guarantee of salaries.'
According to TransportUnito, then came the time to until the haulage must and will be willing to take on the extra costs of bottlenecks and collapse in the efficiency levels of a logistics system that is such only in the name, but that in fact it has never been done burden to sustain cohesively, and not just exploiting the ring weaker, the emergencies in the supply chain.
