Less precarious work, more safety in the workplace, attention and supervision of pirated contracts. These are some of the themes at the center of the territorial congress of Uil Ravenna – at the Pala De André on 24 and 25 March and will see the participation of the Uil national secretary Pierpaolo Bombardieri – and which was presented yesterday by the general secretary of Uil Ravenna Carlo Sama.
Starting from the topic of precariousness, Sama recalled how INPS data shows that in Ravenna 87% of new entries into the world of work take place with fixed-term contracts (from fixed-term contracts to temporary work) and this is a trend “which prevents young people from looking to the future with confidence also because they are contracts which do not even allow financing for a purchase, let alone, therefore, a mortgage”. A topic that cuts across all sectors, but which is relevant for tourism. “And here we could have thought of structuring regional policies to support structural and general innovations in the sector by conditioning them on the fact that employees are actually in compliance and do not start working at Easter and then be regularized in the summer”. Not to mention gods pirate contracts in the tertiary sector which, Sama attacked, allow ‘savings’ of up to 7 thousand euros a year on the salary front and also see a massive presence in the Ravenna area”. And, still remaining in Ravenna and looking at the development of the local economy, Sama was keen to reiterate the centrality of the issue of energy and the port.
On the first front, Ravenna must aim to be a true “energy capital” both by developing wind projects (“the extreme speed on the regasifier and the incredible slowness on the Agnes project is not understood”, insisted Sama) without neglecting its oil & gas industry and the possibilities of new offshore extraction “without leaving it up to the Croatians to extract the precious raw material from the sea itself”. On the port side, increases in movements are welcome, but adequate infrastructure is needed: “we are overwhelmed by works that we have been waiting for years, but now it is urgent to quadruple the railway between Bologna and Castel Bolognese, otherwise thinking of rail for port transport is pure utopia, just as, to stay in Ravenna, the second crossing of the Candiano is urgently needed”.
