“Finally, after a long period of isolation, too Reggio Calabria has an airport that offers citizens of the Strait the possibility of traveling and being connected to the rest of the country and abroad, moreover with a company like Ryanair giant of the skies, low cost par excellence, which for the first time is looking at Reggio Calabria with extreme interest, an opportunity to be seized! It is a historic result that has been awaited for too long, perhaps forever, which has become a reality thanks to the attention that the protagonists have finally paid to the Metropolitan City to the detriment of the laxity of those who should have done and did not do so.”
This was reported in a press release Filt-CGIL Metropolitan City Secretariat.
“And just as we harshly criticized the previous managements of Sacal, we had no difficulty in recognizing the excellent work of the current Sole Director of the company Marco Franchini, who has brought about a positive turning point in the Calabrian airport system, also resuming a frank and healthy discussion with the trade unions. Now it is a question of maintaining the attractiveness of the Reggio airport in the long term, also by remodeling routes in the future and strengthening mobility throughout the Strait area to reach and then exceed the target of 700 thousand passengers per year. And if for years the Reggio airport has represented the symbol of degradation and failure, now that a real change of direction is in sight, it is necessary to build the maximum amount of political and social unity capable of giving the airport a long period of stability. Those who work to divide, however, want to destroy Tito Minniti and work for the King of Prussia!” – the note continues.
“Define it today Reggio airport a “construction site” means not having understood that the emblem of rebirth also involves the expansion and restyling of the current airport capable of offering passengers better accessibility and welcoming services, – continue again – let us therefore consider it a “necessary inconvenience” and a valid alternative to the closure of the airport, an inconvenience also alleviated thanks to the work of the airport operators who are not only Sacal employees, but also Aviapartner workers who must be recognized for their constant commitment to guarantee the quality and regularity of the services offered”.
“But there is still a lot to do, in the next few days together with the other trade unions we will resume the discussion with Sacal not only to enhance the commitment of the workers who have made the utmost of their professionalism demonstrating a sense of belonging and contributing proudly and enthusiastic about achieving the company objectives, but rather to continue the process of renewing the second level contract which has already guaranteed the recognition of health welfare for an amount higher than that previously in force, of a productivity bonus in flexible benefits, which will be paid shortly, no longer to just one party but to all the workers in the Calabrian airports, of the canteen ticket increased by its value and whatever else will be necessary to satisfy the needs of the workers and the company” – he concludes.
