- CGIL Genoa Area at Fincantieri's Sestri Ponente Confindustria contradicts herself
- Concern over the possibility of scenarios that would undermine the shipbuilding
 In response to recent statements by the president of Confindustria Genova, John Calvin, who had proposed the use of the sea at the tip of the establishment of Fincantieri in Genoa Sestri Ponente for the establishment of industrial activities different from those of shipbuilding, Antongiulio Mannoni the secretariat of the Trade Union CGIL Genova, pointed out that such statements "are just the latest piece in a sort of comedy of the absurd that is repeated in our city every time he materializes the possibility of an intervention that can restore the territory and strengthen its industrial vocation. "
- "What Piero Ottone thunder periodically in defense of the yachting world against the clause of the sixth basin - added Mannoni - it may be understandable, given its particular horizon.But that ignores the Confindustria Genova expanse of desert Cornigliano (250 thousand square meters available to industrial projects, unfortunately, yet to be tested) and scenarios assume a hypothetical international actors to be placed in areas of the so-called "tipping sea of Sestri Ponente for settlements would undermine the shipbuilding industry, is much more worrying. "
- The union representative noted how "Confindustria also belies itself being subject to the Protocol of Understanding of September 26, 2009 which reiterated the commitments of various stakeholders (City, Fincantieri, trade unions) to (text)" Expansion of the sea areas devoted to shipbuilding '. "
- "The international crisis that also involves the construction of the cruise market - noted Mannoni - must be addressed without pursuing fanciful assumptions or proposing a debate we thought was buried in the eighties about the alleged passing of the centrality of the shipyards in Genoa.Fincantieri and property, the government should exit the stage of advance in the press and deal with national issues in a table of the development of production sites, the investment needed for innovation and competition, abandoning any notion of downsizing in capacity " .
- "The need for enhanced ship repair works as the sixth through the basin to help meet the needs of a rapidly evolving market - continued Mannoni - are a distinct and separate issue that is the most effective and least impact on the Genoa area , in the area of repairs. The fact that the ship repair and shipbuilding occupy in our province, thousands of workers directly and industries can not be regarded as a secondary variable and annoying. They are, together with their business centers and research, a wealth of professional excellence, that generates, as part of a tough international competition, drive innovation and new businesses in a word, wealth for our city. "
- "The recent commitment by all the institutions of Genoa and Liguria, the Port Authority, social partners, because you get to the definition of a framework agreement with Fincantieri and the government for the work of filling in Sestri Ponente - has concluded the exponent of the union - is an important element of this story. The workers, who are already paying for the effects of the crisis with layoffs and strike hours devoted to prevent the closure or downsizing of their yards, they need certainty. Each party, in its representation, must demonstrate a similar responsibility to ensure this city the maintenance and development of the construction and repair of ships, which together with the port, they are always his identity.
