Vicendevole exchange of accusations between the unions and Confitarma for the breach of negotiates on renews of the Ccnl of the marine ones



Yesterday, to conclusion of an encounter in the picture of the negotiations for I renew of the national collective bargaining agreement for the marine section, the Italian Confederation Shipping (Confitarma) has declared the breach of it negotiate. As a result of such decision Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti has announced that, beginning from today, "the state of agitation of the entire marine section is opened".

The unions have explained that in the course of the encounter the outage of Confitarma is emerged to find solutions on 4 June alternatives on some points already discussed in the encounter relatively to the relative part to the towing services. "We have recorded the outage of the Confitarma - they have specified Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti - to negotiate and to find solutions alternatives to the only demand formulated us 4th june it inhere the so-called "rest on board". We take therefore action, also, of the communication with which the same Confitarma, closing in fact the work, in unilateral form has declared the breach of negotiates for renews of the Ccnl of the entire marine section.

A decision, that of Confitarma - it has emphasized the national responsible for the marine ones of the Uiltrasporti, Agostino Falanga - "unexpected after many reunions that give the expiration today has engaged these labor organizations in order to find a solution to the definition of the Ccnl. Nevertheless during all this period it has been spoken, all in agreement, of simplification of the norms of the Ccnl, of boarding apprentice officers and other categories, while still it has not been discussed, in all the reunions held in this temporal arc, of the connected economic quantification to I renew". "To such unexpected datoriale decision - it has added Falanga - the labor organizations have answered declaring the state of agitation, foundation for initiatives of trade-union fight that will have to be put into effect if Confitarma will continue to persist in the negation of renew contractual".

Confitarma has expressed regret for the state of agitation which proclaimed from the unions, "motivating it - it has specified the Confederation - on the base of an assumed unilateral decision from the Italian Confederation Shipping. According to Confitarma, instead, the real reasons that have determined failing of the conditions in order to continue the entire one negotiate, to continuation - it has replied the Confederation - of the rigid positions assumed from the union for the section of the towing are others "".

"It is important to emphasize - the shipowning association has remembered - than the negotiation for I renew contractual, resumption from various months, interests also the other sections of the marine field, as the international cabotage and traffics, let alone the adoption of new measures in order to stimulate the Italian occupation. On such topics progressively a concrete approach between the positions of the parts has been recorded. For how much it concerns the section of the towing, Confitarma from years has placed to the center of confronts trade-union the requirement to put the concessionary societies of this service in condition of being able to compete on a level with the communitarian competitors, in sight of the new contests for the release of the concessions become by now obligatory, safeguarding at the same time the occupational levels of the marine boarded Italians on the tugs". "In spite of the certain strategic valence of such issue for the entire negotiation - Confitarma has denounced - the union has assumed an attitude of substantial closing that of it has returned the suspension unavoidable".

"In relation to the declarations which released from some trade-union representatives to it prints that they define "fantasies" the proposals of Confitarma - it has continued the Confederation - is necessary to clarify that such proposals already reflect the communitarian discipline in matter from years applied from all the communitarian marine Member States, with the single exception of Ireland. Moreover, the competition of the communitarian shipowners will verosimilmente regard all the national ports of mean-large dimensions. The case of Olbia, cited from the union - according to Confitarma - is evidently misleading, be a matter itself of a port of small dimensions, whose reduced number of towing performances it does not return it attractive to the foreign competition".

For the Italian Confederation Shipping, "own in the knowledge that every port has its peculiarities, on a national level is necessary to preview the possibility to organize the job through on board uses it of the rest, while the application discipline of the new organization will not be able that to be sent back to a business agreement, in the harbour truths where the necessity ravviserà some".

Remembering to on behalf lead the negotiation also of Assorimorchiatori and Federimorchiatori, Confitarma has concluded evidencing to remain "however convinced that the objective importance of the proposal is such from not being able to be ignored from the labor organizations" and has wished therefore "a modification of their position that can allow a total resumption of confronts in the general interest of the marine field".
