USB Mare e Porti has proclaimed a first 24-hour day of Port workers' strike for April 5th. Announcing the protest initiative, the union explained that, Following the National Assembly of Port Delegates held in Civitavecchia on 27 February, the Unione Sindacale di Base Mare and Ports proclaimed a state of national unrest in the sector and organized a series of meetings in the various ports of call Italian. "At the center of the confrontation - specified the trade union in a note - the USB platform on the renewal of the CCNL, with the demand for real wage increases of at least €300 in pay (no welfare) and the convening of its own delegation to the national contract table, as provided for in the Text Unique on Representation and the count of membership data. The port workers have the right to be represented by the organizations that choose. In addition, on the basis of the findings precisely from the confrontation with the port workers - he specified USB - there is a strong concern for a reform wanted by the current government, which is likely to go to further demolish Law 84/94 by introducing the privatisation of port authorities and the final discussion of port companies and port companies in general Art 17. There is talk of introducing new elements of flexibility and precariousness, as already done in the port of Gioia Tauro with the infamous intermittent work agreement. No opening in this reform, on the other hand, with regard to the recognition of the port work as exhausting."

Based on this platform, USB Sea and Ports proclaimed the first day of the strike, with mobilization appointments in every single port that will be communicated soon.
