The secretariats of Filt Cgil Campania and Filt Cgil Salerno have announced the filing of an appeal "to adjuvant" the Council of State, alongside the System Authority Port of the Central Tyrrhenian Sea, against the ruling of the Regional Administrative Court Salerno which has authorized the company Cartour Srl to carry out in lashing and unlashing operations within the commercial port of Salerno. "This operation - they have denounced the secretary general of Filt Cgil Campania, Angelo Lustro, and the secretary general of Filt Cgil Salerno, Gerardo Arpino - fatally strikes the Culp of Salerno, a subject authorized to provide temporary labor. It must be reiterated that the workers represent the fundamental pillar for the organization of ports of Italy and, in particular, for the port of Salerno. These workers - Lustro and Arpino pointed out - are the only ones specialized and qualified to intervene, ensuring the flexibility and security are necessary, especially in peaks of work. We cannot accept that those who work in the respect for professionalism: defending the Culp means defending quality work against poor work".

Specifying that the trade union action focuses on the issue of safety, recalling the tragedy of 2023 when a young man officer lost his life during the shore operations of a ship Cartour, the representatives of Filt Cgil underlined that "the sentence of the TAR opens a very dangerous breach: Cartour - they have explained - claims to operate as a port company even though it does not having the real structure, serving exclusively its own ships with crews on board flanked by a few part-time workers. A obvious ploy to circumvent the constraints of the law that risks destabilize the entire system for the protection of maritime work and port sector".

Finally, the union denounced the violation of the "Dockers Clause", the international clause that reserves the of securing cargo to dockers, created precisely to protect the safety of seafarers. "The model endorsed by the TAR - observed Lustro and Arpino - tramples on agreements signed internationally, replacing staff with workers who should rest after the navigation. It is paradoxical that norms of civilization, written to save lives, are erased locally to pure logic of profit. We will not allow us to go back thirty years on security".
