With a firm and motivated decision, Co.Ce.R. Marina has not signed the contract proposed by the Government for the three-year period 2016-2018: we wanted to protect the dignity of our staff and our role as representatives, as we have been asked by our colleagues in uniform.
The Government opened negotiations at the end of July, except to reappear after 5 months of absence near Christmas. The figures posted on the contract were immediately defined by us as insufficient; for this reason the Co.Ce.R. Marina focused attention on the need to discuss and rearrange some regulatory cases of primary interest for our staff, which resulted in the platform sent to the Public Function.
The real negotiations began on 11 January and it was immediately clear that the Government was only interested in closing the economic game quickly, perhaps to obtain an easy electoral consensus, postponing the discussion on the regulatory aspects to a second phase.
The urgency and speed imposed have left our requests unheard and the attention was mainly given to the police unions, however, split on the approval.
Insufficient introduction of a rule for second level consultation, which will be expressed in a mere opinion on the subdivision of the Efficiency Fund; in fact we are faced with the failure to implement the negotiating role provided for by the Law on specificity.
We asked until the last to have a valid reason to sign, but the Government was deaf.
An important but not decisive commitment to the foreign missions of naval units could not be enough.
The final act was to sign the signature, at night, with the urgent convocation of the Ministers, without the prior and necessary reading of the final document to be signed.
As foreseen by the Law, we will send to the President of the Council the specific reasons for our dissent.
From today the page has been turned and we ask for the urgent opening of the table for the contractual queue during which the Co.Ce.R. Marina will continue to pursue her requests and will monitor the full implementation of the commitments made, with any government that will leave the polls on 4 March.
Co.Ce.R. MARINA
