A professional, reads the joint note from Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uil Trasporti of Campania, “who was able to combine competence, vision and an extraordinary capacity for dialogue with all social and employer parties”
A note in memory of Francesco Nerli five years after his passing. It was issued by the regional secretariats of Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uil Trasporti of Campania, together with all the female and male workers of the AdSP of the Central Tyrrhenian Sea, who remember “with profound gratitude and affection a figure who left an indelible mark on the Italian port world. A system president, a man of labor and institutions, a rigorous but always loyal interlocutor, Nerli was able to combine competence, vision and an extraordinary capacity for dialogue with all social and employer parties”.
“His action – explain the trade union organizations and the workers of the AdSP in the joint note – remains to this day an indispensable reference for those who work every day for the growth of the ports and for the protection of port labor. Francesco was not only an administrator, He was a builder of balance, a supporter of the dignity of labor and of the centrality of the port sector in the economic life of the Country. In this moment of great discussions and hypotheses for reforming Law 84/94, of which he was the noble father, we cannot help but wonder what he would say. Probably, with his ironic smile and usual lucidity, he would remind us that reforms only work when they know how to distinguish the waves of the sea from the waves of improvisation. And on certain ideas circulated recently, let’s say it gently, he would have expressed a dissent as firm as it was polite, as only He knew how to do. Five years after his death, the memory of Francesco Nerli does not fade, it continues to accompany us like a discreet lighthouse, which illuminates the route without ever overloading the gaze. To Him goes our thought – concludes the note in memory of Nerli – our respect and our commitment to defending a modern, just port system truly at the service of the Country”.
