kicks and punches to the Trentino Trasporti driver

Another attack against a Trentino Trasporti driver has been reported by the unions. The incident occurred today, Wednesday 19 June, at the Viale Martiri stop, after the Riva station, on the line leading to Rovereto. «We report yet another episode that occurred today in Riva del Garda to the detriment of a driver who, as per the regulation, refused to let a user on board with an electric scooter» write the secretaries of Filt-Cgil Fit-Cisl Uiltrasporti Faisa -Cisa. The event, they explain, happened at 6.40. «The attacker kicked and punched the driver and then ran away – they report – The unfortunate person went to the emergency room for the first checks and subsequently, on the advice of the doctors, was transported to the Rovereto hospital for further visits. The incident will be reported to the competent authorities.”
Three months ago, on 8 March, the unions met in front of the Government Commissariat with also PaT, TTspa and the police forces, at that juncture there was a commitment to start a technical table. «It should be noted that the commitment made by the Government Commissioner to reconvene the trade union organizations towards the middle of April to start a permanent technical table has been absolutely disregarded – underline the unions – To date no call, only words and fists in face (literally). The evident indifference that surrounds these manifestations of arrogance and prevarication is worrying. The attacks put drivers, operators, controllers and front office workers at risk. Added to the responsibility of offering a public service in the best possible way is the fear of risking physical safety. Even passengers are now victims of profound discomfort and insecurity in using a service dedicated to the entire community. Health and safety are a right for the worker and it is a duty of the institutions to guarantee them.”
