Around the marine Italians the appeals to the peace and the inducements to the war are wasted



In recent days Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti have invited to wind down the tones of the controversy on the employment of marine Italians on the ships of the fleets that are under responsibility to Italian shipowners, confront that it is characterized by an ignited contrast between Vincenzo Onorato, the shipowner that guides the Honored group Shipping that work marine services with the companies of navigation Moby, Tirrenia CIN and Toremar, and Emanuele Grimaldi, Shipping president of the Italian Confederation (Confitarma) and managing director of the shipowning group Grimaldi that is constituted by a constellation of companies between which Grimaldi Lines, Atlantic Container Linens (ACL), Minoan Lines and Finnlines ( of the 9 and 10 May and 1° june 2017).

The appeal of the three labor organizations has turned out unheard. Honored, evidently convinced that the exhortation of Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti was time to tacitare its reasonings, it has reacted expressing abashment for the accusations mossegli from the three unions, than - it has emphasized - they have inculpated "of having "a too much aggressive tone", evidencing that the topic would have necessity of "a groundbreaking analysis and not tifoserie", and that they have exhorted studies and work in order to face "complex and variable dynamics of the occupation of the marine Italians".

"Not a signal, not even not veiled - it has replied Honored - to the next European law today to the Commission of the Chamber: Italy - it has clarified the shipowner - will extend the fiscal facilities of the Italian International Registry also to the companies that enroll the ships in other flags of the European Union. What wants to say? The Italian shipowners - he has found Honored - will change flag, passing from the Italian to another European, conserving the Italian tax exemption and the tax rebate and contributive for the marine ones. Free from the Italian flag, little marine Italians will be able to disembark those whom they have still boarded and to enjoy the fiscal immunity of our country. The damage and the prank! Defended other that of the occupation! Other that occupational strategy for the young people! All then to expenses of the Italian State and the Italian contributors who pay the taxes, also in favor of the Italian shipowners that do not pay and they do not favor the occupation to them".

"And the union that ago? It asks me - observed Honored - to wind down the tones. Perhaps because - it has added - to high tones, it will come outside, sooner or later, than the only interlocutor had from the governments who are succeduti from 1998 - year of promulgazione of the law on the International Registry - today they have been the shipowners with their Confitarma (Confederation from which the Honored group of a year has exited and means make, ndr). The workers - he has denounced Honored - are abandoned in the hands of the masters of the sea. This that delegitimizes the union, that union, that is the Triple one that wishes "low tones" on the event, is 11 a which signed agreement the February of 2003 with which the Confitarma, read the shipowners, you grant a deposit of 190 marine euros for boarded is Italian-communitarian that non-EU own to the Triple one! But - it has still contested Honored - isn't the Triple one Italian? It wouldn't have to defend the Italians? And then because it perceives money also for the marine non-EU citizens? To me, more than a conflict of interest, it seems a true trash. Tesoretto that it is worth for the Triple one a million ten euro and on the money evidently does not spit not even the unions".

Honored it has concluded emphasizing that "today the ship is quickly sinking, dragging to bottom the occupation of our people" and that, "in order to save it we must make to approve of this law: ships with Italian flag in national cabotage, boarded on board only Italian-communitarian; ships with Italian flag in international service, the safety table must be formed marine solos from Italian-communitarian. With these foundations the fiscal benefits of the International Registry will only be able to be conserved". According to Honored, a such law "will save thousands of places of work and of it will create other thousands, and that when passes to the sieve of Europe conserves, also for the other European flags, requirement in order to continue protect the occupation of our people".

The inflamed Honored retort of - and, undoubtedly, not even not veiled accusation turned from the shipowner to the unions to defend the position of the shipowners of Confitarma because from these subsidized also for the boarding of marine non-EU citizens - has induced Uiltrasporti and Filt Cgil to beat again. The first labor organization has remembered that "current law 30/98 in almost 20 years has created many places of work, more than 40.000, than which at least more than 30.000 marine Italians and it has made to more jump the Italian marineria from little units than 700 ships under the Italian flag".

"It can be made more? Sure yes - it has observed Uiltrasporti - and in order to make it we are not contrary to migliorative modifications of law or in extremis to a new law, solution this on which we have expressed some doubts, because they worry us the 30,000 Italians who today are guaranteed by the current law and that they are found in Italian flag. In fact, changing with the chip ax a legislative picture that involves the escape of some shipowners from our International Registry for another foreign flag thing it would happen to many of these workers? Whoever will embark them"

"To plan new occupation - it has evidenced the national secretariat of Uiltrasporti - it is a responsibility action that must involve all, enterprises, union and government, and certainly cannot have as premised the determination of conditions that produce unemployment. It is not with protezionistiche laws and moreover not even not concerted with all the main national actors, than the competition between enterprises is won, oltretutto in one of the main internationalized fields more of the Italian, European and world-wide economy. This does not say the union to it, but it is wide demonstrated by the behaviors of all the main world-wide economies, and on the other hand not even the European Union would not afford us".

Uiltrasporti has restated that a shared strategy is indispensable: "for these reasons of protection, defense and development of the Italian marine job - it has explained the union - we are convinced that it is necessary great sense of responsibility, putting all to sit in order to find shared solutions to us, that they could successively also find the recepimento legislative. Without a sharing of the rules, in a strongly liberal market as that marine one, marked from the great dynamics variety of different types of ships and transport with commercial and competitive characteristic different, us they could not never be solutions to the problem of the occupation and the job on board of the crews. We - it has specified the union - have evidenced already some proposals and we are already exposing to them to the institutional and datoriali tables. Proposals that not only hold also account of the occupation of the marine ones but also of its quality. The signallings that we receive, and without society distinction are too many, on the excessive workloads that on board delineate real forms of uncontrolled exploitation of the ships".

"At last - it has continued Uiltrasporti - we become also account that everyone must make own role. It is natural that an employer has a vision of the problems of the job closely connected to the opportunities and the requirements of profit. For this the union exists, than in Italy it has a long history of fight and defense democratic of the job. It exists because the workers comprise and want that the job is estimated by the point concrete point of view of who then it realizes with own job the enterprise of the property, without beneficent or stucchevolmente populistiche good wills, but argument and objective fact of real protection and guarantee of the dignity of the workers".

More sand bank the retort than Uiltrasporti relatively to the deep ones perceived from the union: "for how much then it regards the trade-union contributions - it has clarified the national secretariat - the union does not receive oboli or elargizioni from datoriali subjects neither is paid by some. The contributions are transparent and previewed from the Charter of the workers and the specific laws in matter, in order to guarantee the existence and independence of the union from the employers and the groups of interest, the labor laws of who to already it has us and of who it will have it, and the bases of the democracy of this Country. Unfortunately we must state that by now from long time Mr. Vincenzo Onorato shows an upset habit to attack the union in any case, as was a laughing stock kind and not the representative of thousands of workers, included many employee its. Not last, when Uiltrasporti, to the eve of the acquisition by its group of Tirrenia, raised the problem of a monopolistic configuration in the field ferries for the connection with the great islands, it did not hesitate to denounce the Federation of the Transports of Uil for defamation. But the court gave to flood reason and satisfaction to the Uiltrasporti, confirming the worries of market concentration of the union”.

Uiltrasporti has sped up rather a examination on the public funds who ends in the cases of the Honored group Shipping: “currently at a distance of little years - it has found the union - the situation of the connections with the islands is changed for a greater presence more operators on the same drafts. This must carry the State consequently to reflect if they are still necessary 72 million that annually it contributes to the Tirrenia society for the territorial continuity”.

A conclusive exhortation that cannot not have aggravated the Honored tantrum of, even if Uiltrasporti has finished its letter opened on the marine Italians specifying that, “from hour, for our part we intend to extinguish every useless and unproductive controversy. To we - the labor organization has restated - it interests the good job and the occupational development on the ships of our marine ones. For this, once again and we will not get tired to continue to make it, renew the invitation to wind down the tones and to discuss all around to a table”.

Equally irritateed the answer of the Filt Cgil, second which “to point out the union it is a provocative operation and at the same time also little original”. “The debate in relation to law 30/98 on the International Registry - it has observed the Federation of the Transports of Cgil - cannot be reduced to the calculation of the benefits to the shipowners and the unions “convenient”, as it says Honored, but considers is right to recall parliament and government to establish a balance between how much the contributor invests and the return on the fiscal and occupational plan and we wish a serious and total reform of the field and not to ad”.

“For how much it regards to us - it has specified the Filt Cgil - when the modification to law 30/98 is effective takes note some, we will respect it and make so that it is respected. We beat ourselves for that marine staff who, between its rights, meets many difficulties in the possession approached the support forms Inps in normal times, for the acknowledgment of the marine job between those onerous and wearing ones, in order to try to avoid that he must load itself with improper costs in order to maintain own titles and for that staff who measure with enormous difficulties that they do not concern to wage differentiations to advantage of communitarian extra staff, but of professional adaptation to the standards minimums in order to obtain embarks to it”.

“For us - it has supported still the Filt Cgil addressing directly to Honored - the relationships are worth and the relations that we entertain with our counterparts, comprised its, with which we look for and often we find agreements and for which today convintamente we consider that the International Registry has guaranteed a general interest. Within the next few years one will even notice than to have to go wrong deontological regarding organizations that have crossed also the darker years and less democratics of the Italian history and that, with great humility and as well as respect, tries to represent the job also in front of who, as she, evidently it thinks to carry out all the parts in comedy: the shipowner, the capopopolo, the politician and the only union member of the marine Italians”.

Sul topic is taken part also the Federmar-Cisal that, in a letter sent to the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports, Graziano Delrio, has denounced “the responsibilities to which ago to go back the serious condition of existing unemployment between the marine ones of this country”. “It is convincement of the labor organization - the national secretary of the Federation of the Cisal has explained Marine, Alessandro Pico - than on the first floor must be place the same Ministry of Transportation, totally absent in all these years in applying those instruments (Observatory of the reform and labor market of the placement) that the legislator had placed to protection of the marine Italians in the opening to the employment of the foreign workers on the ships of the national fleet”.

Also Federmar-Cisal does not hesitate launch its sinks: “he is probable - it has found Pico - that the Ministry is induced to underrate the occupational problem of the marine ones in front of the positions of the shipowning associations and the unions of category of Cgil, Cisl, Uil, sure more careful parts to manage the resource to the marine non-EU citizens that the places of work for the sailors of this country”.

“In fact - Pico has raised the price - they give beyond twenty years is standing a synergy of mutual interest between Confitarma and confederal union that from time to time, because of exceptions, has loosened the shirts and constraints in the formation of the crews, granting practically free hand to the shipowning enterprises, is of the oceanic navigation that of the cabotage, in the substitution of the marine Italians with the not communitarian ones. It exists, therefore, documents friendly, a tie between Confitarma and confederal unions not only of management but also of substance if annually some million contributions are poured by the shipowners in the cases of these organizations”.

For Federmar, “with the emanation of I decree legislative 221/2016, is the concrete possibility to on the whole print a radical steered in occupational politics of the marine section of this country, finding - as also supported from the Honored shipowner - an just balance in the formation of the crews of the fleet (cabotage and South Sea islander) in a position to conciliating the just expectations of the workers to having an occupation with the need of the enterprises to support the competition of the other marinerie. In conclusion - the letter of Federmar-Cisal finishes - stoccata to the Confitarma for the threat to transfer part of the fleet under other flags, association that they always give cries misery in order to obtain something in exchange”.
