The ongoing dispute between seafarers and the Caronte&Tourist Isole Minori company which guarantees connections to the Sicilian archipelagos is “inflaming”. A protest demonstration by seafarers on board the ships of the Messina company, organized by Federmar Cisal, will be held tomorrow, at eleven o’clock, at the company’s registered office, in via Giuseppe Franza in Messina. Subsequently, a delegation of seafarers from Palermo, Trapani and Milazzo will move to the landing stages of Viale della Libertà.
“Federmar Cisal and the seafarers – they declare Clara Crocè And Sebastiano Previti, regional and provincial secretary respectively – will express their opposition to what is proposed by the company’s top management and to the freezing of the agreements already signed regarding the stabilization of workers, the rules of engagement and boarding, the shifts. Today’s initiative follows the state of agitation among seafarers, proclaimed by the unions Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uil Traporti, which has already led last week to the delayed departure of the Caronte&Tourist smaller islands ships from the ports of Milazzo for an hour , Trapani, Porto Empedocle and Palermo towards the Aeolian Islands, Pantelleria, Pelagie, Egadi and Ustica.
