The drivers of local public transport have been protesting for about two hours in the depot on Via Ofanto, 33 workers represented by the Faisa Cisal union since the council meeting collapsed, due to the absence of some councilors, which was supposed to discuss and deliberate on some important acts for local public transport.
Faisa Cisal regional delegate Renzo Coppini writes: “Today with the scheduled City Council there should have been a positive epilogue, of the long work done by the municipal technicians, the documents for the definition of the regional contribution and the dispute with the CSC company that manages the transport and whose service contract has expired should have been voted on. Instead, we learn, with regret and anger, that the councilors did not show up this morning, putting at risk, with their attitude, the continuity of public transport in the city. The superficiality with which the councilors and some councilors, have faced this problem is scandalous. Sixty families abandoned to themselves, an offensive behavior for the workers who, despite the reduced salaries, the grueling shifts had given confidence in the administration, interrupting the permanent assembly and the occupation of the council chamber more than a month ago. This confidence was poorly repaid by a short-sighted and indifferent policy. The exasperation of the employees has reached the point of no return, on July 1st it is not known how the service will be provided, given that the funds allocated for more than two years, for the umpteenth time are kept in the coffers”.
The workers are now in a permanent assembly in the bus depot in via Ofanto.
