"It would be serious and worrying if the government rejected as part of the provision containing "Provisions for the Labour", the amendments relating to the recognition of work and the release of the early retirement fund for the dockers". This was underlined by the national Filt Cgil referring to the non-acceptance of specific amendments denounced by the associations of the port cluster ( of 2 August 2024) and adding that "this rejection, if would end up depriving the sector of necessary elements for the protection and safety of work".

"The failure to start the early retirement fund - explained the Federation of Transport of the CGIL - would risk further complicating the process for the renewal of the national contract for ports. It was precisely the prediction of the early retirement fund, one of the qualifying elements of the contract renewal".

According to Filt, "it is absolutely necessary that the the theme of work in the port area summarizes its centrality and that the legislator focuses primarily on these issues, especially in a phase like the one we are experiencing which offers no certainty about the future and where new challenges for safeguarding the competitiveness of our port system".
