The Italian Association of Port Terminal Operators (Assiterminal) has denounced that during the demonstration held yesterday in the port of Vado Ligure, following the declaration of a strike by part of the Filt-Cgil, there was an attack on a Vado Gateway terminal worker. Assiterminal condemned the incident and expressed his closeness to the worker, the company and to all those workers "to whom - underlined the association - the right to express or not one's dissent, within civil behavior, respecting the ideas and choices of others. It is not tolerable - he highlighted Assiterminal - that similar episodes will happen and we trust in the work of the police and the judiciary".

On the merits of the strike, Assiterminal specified that, as already previously affirmed also during the attempted start of the cooling procedure in the Supervisory Authority Port System on 5 December, reiterated that "the recourse to the institution of part-time work is provided for and regulated in the CCNL of port workers and that, in the face of the commitment of a company to use a contractual instrument to create work and support development, the use of certain forms of manifestation remains difficult to understand".
