In part General we will continue to make our demands. Transport are fundamental for the recovery of the country and the millions of workers of this strategic sector deserve working conditions better, more work but above all good work. Workers of transport - underlined the secretary general of the Uilt - have given an excellent response to the general mobilization that has taken place carried out today both in terms of adhesion in the squares and abstention from work. The level of precarization and exploitation especially in the world of logistics, accidents and deaths at work that are increasingly an emergency in the our country, these are issues on which we cannot lower the guard. We will not stop giving our utmost attention to the contractual disputes opened starting from that of the Tpl and the corporate disputes such as the one that is involving precisely in these days the 1322 workers of Air Italy. We will continue - he concluded Tarlazzi - to ask for more attention to this sector on the part of the government, the development of the country also passes and especially from transport'.
