Firefighters on duty in Naples tomorrow

Tomorrow the firefighters will be on duty in Naples for the closure of some offices and the downsizing of staff.

Closure of numerous service locations, downsizing of staff, and a freeze on staff turnover are just some of the issues affecting the Naples Fire Department, which is increasingly struggling to operate in our communities. Tomorrow, they will be taking to the streets of Italy with sit-ins. In Naples, they will be near the Prefecture from 10:12 a.m. to XNUMX:XNUMX p.m., as announced by the UIL and UIL PA of Campania.

"On the national scene, our provincial command of the Naples Fire Brigade is among the top in terms of the number of daily interventions, despite its skeleton staff and the closure of numerous strategic service locations.

Another complaint from the secretariats of the UIL and UIL PA VVF of Naples concerns the detachment of the Fire Brigade at the Mostra D'Oltremare: "We want to know the future of our Corps' presence in this complex area, especially given the countless man-made and natural risks." "Furthermore," Sgambati and Notaro add, "it is important that all city offices have a staff of at least 36 people per detachment, to allow our workers to intervene promptly and effectively to safeguard people's lives and protect our environment. This, for example, they emphasize, is not happening at the Giugliano office."

Added to these regional challenges is the need, at the national level, to initiate second-level negotiations for the distribution of the 2022 Administration Fund provisions. Sgambati and Notaro emphasize that it is also necessary to initiate negotiation procedures for the three-year period 2022-2024 because, firstly, the pandemic crisis and now the war, have generated economic consequences that will severely impact the purchasing power and family budgets of our workers.

Pierluigi Di Benedetto, general secretary of UILPA Campania, will participate in the protest.
