Fit Cisl, it is necessary to ensure the full operation of the Management Committee of the Port Authority of Western Liguria
Letter to the extraordinary commissioner of the institution
Genova
May 30, 2024
The Fit Cisl Liguria secretariat and the Authority's Fit Cisl RSA of the Port System of the Western Ligurian Sea have written a letter to the extraordinary commissioner of the institution, Paolo Piacenza, to point out the problems that characterize the management of ports of Genoa and Savona-Vado Ligure in the light of the judicial inquiry which led to the issuance of precautionary measures against, among others, the others, by the President of the Liguria Region, Giovanni Toti, and of the former president of the Port Authority of the Western Ligurian Sea, Paolo Emilio Signorini, with the latter placed in pre-trial detention in prison.

"In the meantime," the two union representatives wrote We want to reiterate what we had already pointed out in a non-existent time. when we denounced the prevalence of a vision strictly top-down organization, which had placed at the center few decision-makers with choices that, at least in terms of opportunities, appear to be somewhat questionable, and have led to inevitably to the sclerotization of important processes Decision-making. In recent years, they stressed, we have witnessed to mad races, sometimes poorly or badly reasoned, about the modalities which then fell on the shoulders of workers and workers who are unaware of the real directions taken, and often assigned without serious planning that reflected the real of the public interest and the port community in the as a whole. We reiterate that choices of this kind cannot be be exclusively political, but also and as a priority necessarily technical'.

"The repercussions in terms of images," the letter continues, " are enormous, so much so that there is already talk of reforming the Port System Authority, as if the problem were to necessarily fall on an entity that in historical terms but also in has always played a major role. However In recent years, we have seen an institution that no longer had the true availability of choices that belong to him for but which were imposed by other political actors. We the establishment of a model based on the extremity of the competition rather than collaboration, so much so that it has become more relationships between colleagues. And as RSA we would like to point out that We have always hoped for a constructive path with the others trade unions, but we demand the autonomy to be able to express our concerns and requests that are diametrically opposed to the positions of the Authority's top management as some people insinuate. Moreover, in this sad affair, the employees felt lonely, wishing in vain to be able to receive communications or addresses that can be followed in order to operate with the serenity."

The secretariat of Fit Cisl, which together with the RSA represents a hundred employees of the Port Authority between Genoa and Savona, asked for that 'the full operation of the Committee is guaranteed management necessary to avoid the feared possible paralysis of the institutional activities of the PSA. It is required - specifies the letter - that the institution restores the institutional figures provided for by the Port Act, i.e. the Secretary-General, in order to properly balance the activities institutional/administrative responsibilities of the institution, including those related to the normal industrial relations, we are given immediate answers in on the protection of activities that are solely responsible for project that deal with tenders are required to bring forward also with regard to the NRRP resources that they are required to manage, and the same applies to the activities of those responsible for the procedure for all other ongoing proceedings, and consequently of all the technical-administrative figures involved and tell us what corrective actions can be taken within the of the entity are intended to follow due to the events that They have invested in it, actions also in terms of rehabilitation reputational. And at the same time, we demand that it be closed immediately with the long season of managerial positions assigned to which have been found to be completely dysfunctional, incoherent and moreover, they hinder the proper functioning of the machine organizational, if we consider the neuralgic structures involved; we must once again give a voice to the professionals and technicians employed by this Authority, which has the competence to be able to "say their" in order to put in place processes on the basis of the famous principle of efficiency and effectiveness of the public administration and the implementation of the works in the institutional framework of the institution, closing the long period of "extraordinary" that has distinguished them and that seemed, even in this case, incomprehensible and destructuring, as well as demotivating if not punitive towards some employees'.

"These issues," the letter concludes, "are essential to guarantee the work of this body and its dependents. All in the best interest of pursuing the public and institutional mission of the administration. Loudly We want to reiterate that, as workers, we will continue to roll ourselves in the sleeves to lift the institution and its image."
