Description

After a meeting at the Ministry of Economic Development, Contship Italia, the company in charge of the management of the Porto Canale (the industrial port) in Cagliari, confirmed the decision to dismiss 200 of its workers. Since the short-time work scheme ended on September 1, the 200 workers are now unemployed.

The trade unions heavily contested the company decision and its unwillingness to accept the start of a new social shock absorber with no costs for the company and entirely financed by public expenditure.
