There was 95% participation in yesterday’s strike by the drivers, from 4pm to 8pm, in ATM Messina to draw attention to the safety of workers after the attacks of recent months, especially against the drivers. The abstention, which was also supported by the traffic auxiliaries, was proclaimed by Filt-Cgil, Fit-Cisl, Ugl Autoferro, Faisa Cisal and Orsa Trasporti. The Messina Transport Company intervenes by specifying that the mobilization “is not an action against the Company”, but a request for greater protection for the staff on duty. “The Company is close to its employees in this battle”, states Atm, which shares with the unions the need to guarantee safety conditions and defines the verbal and physical attacks suffered by workers as “no longer tolerable”.
The protocol shared with the unions
At the union meeting held in the company premises, the «Corporate Operational Protocol for the management of emergencies and attacks» was adopted. The document, proposed by Atm, was shared by all the trade unions.
