The Campania regional secretariats of Filt-Cgil, Fit-Cisl and Uiltrasporti have proclaimed for the whole day tomorrow a strike of the workers of the Port System Authority of the Central Tyrrhenian Sea. Justifying the decision to call the protest, The trade unions explained that it was decided to strike "because the general principle of respect of the agreements and their stability over time (pacta sunt servanda) also applies in the ports of Campania. We no longer believe possible - they specified in a note - to suffer the consequences of irresponsible employer attitudes who, in contempt of good contractual faith, constantly place us under "threat" unilateral cancellations of company bargaining, recoveries of sums already paid or suspension of payments due, unaware waiting for clarifications from third parties. We don't want to anymore suffer the risk of a systematic non-application of the Contractual working conditions governed by the contract and the national collective agreement of ports for deficits attributable to the current leaders of this Port Authority, such as the lack of knowledge, understanding and enhancement of the peculiar nature of the employment of the Port Authority, the result of a more general and worrying distorted interpretation of Law 84/94 and of the autonomy that it grants to port authorities. All represents a direct attack on the dignity of women workers and of the workers of the Port Authority of the MTC".

"The "posthumous" publication of resolution no. 65 of 25 November 2024, making it clear that from Piazzale Pisacane an attempt is underway to carry out a demolition action of the function and contents of the national collective agreement of work of the ports - denounced the three unions - confirms and It reinforces the reasons for our contestation. By denying their own prerogatives of "arbitrator" on checks and controls application of the rules and the CCNL of the ports, the top of the body aims to delegitimize national collective bargaining, negotiating subjects and at the same time their own association representative policyholder, Assoporti. We consider it an act very serious and, unfortunately, not new!"

"We will not stop - continues the note - in the face of those who try to trample on our rights! Disorganization, Deregulation and the absence of concrete answers are the symbol of a system that aims only at the self-celebration of its own and profit by offloading the costs on those who send every day Ahead of the ports, with effort and dedication. On January 9 we will be in the first line, alongside every worker, to reiterate that we are not bargaining chips and that the dignity of those who work is not it can be stepped on; therefore, we invite you to participate and Workers of companies pursuant to art. 16, 17 and 18 because this problem will spare no one. We will be in Naples, at Piazzale Pisacane, from 7:45 to 15:21, to make our voices heard loud and show that without us the ports stop!"

And from Piazzale Pisacane came a harsh reply of the Port System Authority of the Central Tyrrhenian Sea, according to which "there is only one unacceptable attitude of great irresponsibility that is regrettable to be noted once again comes from the confederal union present in the company". The port authority has "strongly rejected the unfounded and inappropriate accusations which, according to the statements of the relate to "repeated violations of the national and decentralised sector bargaining, as well as a worrying and distorted interpretation" of the law establishing the ports, Law 84/94 put in place to the detriment of the workers of the same. Substance - points out a note from the Port Authority - this authority specifies that the "systematic disapplication of contractual conditions" to which the three acronyms refer in fact concerns the verification punctual implementation by the competent offices of this administration of contractual institutions to which employees he was not entitled. Economic benefits previously allocated on the misleading and arbitrary interpretations that in fact weigh on the budget of the entity and therefore on taxation general. The irritation of the three trade unions forced to communicate to workers and to the workers of the Port Authority of Naples and Salerno the loss of benefits acquired over time or the return of sums received in past, to which they were not entitled, but it is evident that this responsibility cannot fall on this administration that is required by law to operate in the sole and exclusive interest of public affairs. Therefore, since these the reasons behind the declaration of a planned strike for 9 January it is reiterated that this administration does not may derogate from the checks and controls on the application of the legal and contractual provisions put in place to protect the public interest and that the measures taken have nothing to do with the violation of the rights of workers in this Port Authority and as employees of a public body will be applied, in the same way as what is applies to all other workers concerned, the same economic treatment provided for by current provisions. These top management - concludes the note of the Port Authority - to date have always applied the law in the interest of the State and the workers, and of the institution's workers".
