(ANSA) – MILAN, NOV 26 – The Amazon warehouse at Terminal 2 of Milan’s Malpensa airport was blocked with a garrison from about 11 today and until 14 as part of the 24-hour air transport strike called for today . This was announced by Cub-Trasporti and Usb Lavoro Privato referring to the cargo sector. According to the unions “80% of the approximately 700 workers of Mle-Bcube, one of the logistics companies for the distribution, collection and shipment of goods in the two airports, took part in the abstention”.
Mle-Bcube, as explained by Gianni Cervone, of Cub-Trasporti, is also contracting out the work of the Amazon warehouse in the Milan airport. “Let’s say enough of the continuous instrumental use by Mle-Bcube, of the pandemic crisis, to continue to use precarious and seasonal and increasingly flexible work – underlines the trade unionist -. The strike is against company choices that see workers undergo changes in shifts in addition to already scheduled time changes, and shifts that do not allow workers to plan their private life and their free time. Against the continuous use of disciplinary measures in a discriminatory way and to intimidate those who ask for their rights to be respected “.
The crisis, according to the grassroots unions, has only touched the cargo, which “unlike other sectors has never stopped working and making a profit and now it is right that workers are given a Covid award for always working even during periods more critical and often without adequate security measures “.
“As regards flights – explains the management company Sea – no flights have been canceled and therefore Linate and Malpensa are fully operational throughout the day”. The Cub and UBS unions have instead explained that the strike will continue for the scheduled 24 hours. (HANDLE).
