Green pass: Trieste, already a thousand people at Gate 4

Italy armored on the day of the compulsory Green pass for workers.

At the moment the airport's operations are nil. At the terminal no particular problem. Outside the building that houses the offices, the garrison of workers without green pass remains while about fifty camalli, who were stationed in front of the gates this morning, entered.

, meeting place of the event announced by the Trieste Port Workers Coordination. It is not just a question of dockers, many recognizable by their yellow vests, but also of many who do not operate in the port. Access until now has been allowed but the trucks arriving, perhaps from across the border, are discouraged by the crowd and turn back. However, there are many people who are arriving from 7.00 onwards.

: the workers of the lagoon seaport all showed up for work. "It is a normal day - confirms to ANSA Mauro Piazza, president of the New Company of Port Workers of Venice - with us there are no strikes or blocks at the gates". Of the 180 workers who work in the port (120 employees, 30 in Chioggia port and 30 external) all, with one exception, are regularly in service.

A hundred people, including workers without certification, No Green of the 'La Variante Torinese' movement and I Si Cobas, gathered this morning at dawn for a garrison in front of the gates of Fiat Avio in Rivalta, just outside Turin , at the entrance of the first round. "I have been working here for 32 years - says Francesco - and today I cannot enter because I am not vaccinated. They are depriving us of freedom. Only in Italy do you have to pay to enter work". "At home I have three children - adds Roberto, employed in a food company in the area - I need to work, but getting vaccinated or tamponed is a real blackmail because it is not taken into account that for many it is not just a cost, but a problem psychophysical ". "I don't understand why they don't use salivary swabs instead of ruining our noses ", comments Enrico, who has no intention of getting vaccinated" because it hurts and is useless. "At the gates of door 10 there are some banners that read

and "Work is a right, free tampons". Other principals have been announced at Pirelli in Settimo Torinese, at Iveco in Turin and at Gallina di La Loggia

The Green pass becomes mandatory in the workplace. But on the D-Day of the green certificate there is the risk of blocking the country, which will be affected by the mobilization of dockers and hauliers, which could cause a stop in the logistics sector. The barricades against the pass are raised above all by the maritime workers of Trieste, where 40% of the 950 employees are not vaccinated, while 'Trasportiunito' announces that "about 80 thousand truck drivers and other vehicles distributed over 98,000 companies will be missing." . The same Minister of Labor, Andrea Orlando, speaks of "a complicated start, but that was in the order of things and is the price to pay to push the country in the right direction".

The risk of a false departure, in addition to desertions, is also aggravated by demonstrations in various cities: the most important is in Rome, where the site of the 'No Pass' sit-in, already moved twice by the Police Headquarters, is scheduled for Circus Maximus, and with a deployment of 1000 agents. A decision taken in the wake of the intentions that emerged from the last Security Committee convened by the Interior Ministry, whose intentions would be to avoid the holding of protests near the buildings of politics and 'sensitive objectives'. Meanwhile, prefectures and law enforcement agencies are alerted: in the next few hours, there could be initiatives against the Green pass in front of "company entrances" and "at airports, ports, road, motorway and railway junctions,"aimed at creating inconvenience with possible hindrance to the regularity of services and production activities ", writes the Department of Public Security in a circular. The authorities in the area are asked for the" maximum intensification "of the action of territorial control and "observation" against subjects or groups "considered dangerous for public order". In the document signed by the Chief of Police, Lamberto Giannini, "the pretext" for a "further tightening of the tones "of protest, with" actions "towards" objectives exposed to risk "and with" possible episodes of conflict between groups adhering to opposite extremisms ".who were also at the center of a hearing, at Copasir, by the director of the information system for safety (Aisi). Among the various categories, the leaders of the protests are the components of the Trieste Port Workers Coordination: "we are determined on our positions, but we are always available to discuss with anyone", they say, still hoping for negotiations. And to revoke the strike, they ask the government for an extension of the introduction of the Pass to October 30, "to take some time and then find a solution".but we are always available to discuss with anyone ", they say, still hoping for the negotiation.

But the line of Palazzo Chigi is firm and the Executive - although it is considering strengthening aid to companies that pay tests to employees - has not been prepared for any postponement of the entry into force of the obligation of the green certificate. Even Minister Orlando clearly explains: "postponing only means slowing down a battle to be won as soon as possible" against the virus. However, the transport unions calculate figures that, if confirmed, would lead to the paralysis of entire sectors and not just logistics. "The Green pass will pour over 70 million per day on the heads of trucking companies," says 'Trasportiunito', according to which "the higher costs will derive from the lack of productivity of the drivers who will no longer be usable and not replaceable due to lack of staff ". This could also lead to" delays in deliveries, about 320,000 hours a day more than the daily standard ". And Coldiretti adds:" with 85% of commercial transport taking place by road in Italy, the stop of lorries and trucks puts Italians' spending at risk, especially for the most perishable products such as milk, fruit and vegetables that cannot reach the shelves of the markets ". The large organized distribution groups, Coop and Esselunga in the lead, do not, however, see any critical issues related to supplies for possible blocks in the transport of goods.abroad and not in possession of the pass (or vaccinated with unrecognized sera), will still be able to access - as already provided for by the rules - the places of loading and unloading of goods, but will not be able to participate in the operations. Critical issues are also looming on the public transport front, where the percentage of non-vaccinated employees ranges from 10% to 20%. In Milan, in addition to the 272 workers in the sector who declared their unwillingness to comply with the obligation to submit the green certificate, the local public transport company recorded a 15% increase in sick personnel. The same type of figures, including holidays, of 10-12% in Rome: in the capital, Atac will monitor the peaks of absenteeism to prevent any problems in the service. In Verona and Genoa, on the other hand, 10% of absences are expected.Faced with the Green pass test, many employees therefore chose the 'passive protest': deserting due to health problems.
