Fit Cisl Liguria has expressed solidarity with the workers
Filt Cgil and Uiltrasporti have declared five days of
strike at the Bettolo Terminal of the port of Genoa, an action that
begins today and was decided—the unions announced—
to protest “against a terrible work organization
that is severely penalizing the workforce: we do not understand—
denounced Fabio Ferretti of Filt Cgil Genoa, Duilio Falvo,
secretary for the port of Genoa of Uiltrasporti Liguria, and Stefano
degli Innocenti, official for the port of Genoa of Uiltrasporti
Liguria—how it is possible that after five years and an extremely long
start-up, the company is still not in a position to operate with
an adequate work organization.”
Filt Cgil and Uiltrasporti explained that the lack of
work organization, caused by incomprehensible corporate choices,
does not meet the minimum necessary requirements,
both in numbers and setup, to be adopted in the short and medium term
to ensure operations while respecting workers’ rights and
safety. Furthermore, the concerns
raised regarding worker training persist—
the unions specified—moreover, workers are frequently assigned
an excessive number of different tasks within
the same shift. This situation has further worsened
with the start of railway operations in the “Rugna” park.
Filt Cgil and Uiltrasporti have
urged a rapid change in this situation.
Clarifying that it was excluded from the discussion by Filt Cgil
and Uiltrasporti, Fit Cisl Liguria expressed “solidarity
with the workers of the Bettolo Terminal, for the strong
signal.” “Fit-Cisl—explains the union organization
in a statement—morally supports the workers’ protest,
despite being excluded from the union discussion by the
other two confederal unions. This morning, Fit-Cisl conducted a
leafleting campaign in solidarity at the terminal turnstiles,
to concretely demonstrate its closeness to the workers involved.
We trust in a shared and participatory solution,
one that protects everyone’s rights and does not impose further
economic sacrifices on those who, every day, ensure with commitment and
professionalism the functioning of the terminal.
