"The ports today are practically all at a standstill with up to 100% participation in some ports." This was reported by the national secretary of Filt Cgil Amedeo D'Alessio on the national strike of port workers.
"Today, from all the Italian ports on strike and from the national demonstration in Genoa where around 1500 people participated - underlines the national director of Filt - there is a strong request to reopen in a concrete way the negotiations for the renewal of the national contract, bridging the gaps both on the economic side, but also in relation to some specific issues relating to the regulatory side".
"Among our requests - says D'Alessio finally - a fair salary, unblocking the decree for the early retirement fund for dockworkers, the recognition of strenuous work, strengthening all the contractual instruments relating to the issue of health and safety on the work and finally give our contribution to the port reform".
