Green pass, removed the blocks at the port gates. But mediation fails in the prefecture: USB strike also on Tuesday
Genoa – The strike proclaimed by the base union in the port, in Genoa, will continue on Tuesday 26 October. The mediation attempted in the Prefecture in the afternoon was useless. The time off work began at midnight on Sunday evening and will end at midnight on Tuesday. The dockers who join the Usb protest against the Green pass and free swabs for all unvaccinated workers.
The meeting in the Prefecture had given a glimpse of the possibility of reopening the dialogue with the companies of the port to obtain hubs for tampons in the main accesses at times compatible with work shifts, but “the Port Authority did not respond to the request to continue the path “, explained the regional coordinator of Usb Maurizio Rimassa. In the meeting with the delegates the union has thus decided to continue the mobilization but without the blocks at the gates (they were reopened in the evening and will therefore remain so for the whole day of 26): the union gives an appointment to the workers tomorrow – 25 October – at 9.30 in front of the port authority headquarters.
Today’s protest
Four days after the garrison that blocked the crossing of Ponte Etiopia, on the Canepa seafront, today a new agitation took place in the port of Genoa: the San Benigno gate was closed by a garrison, at dawn the Albertazzi gate was also blocked, only at the entrance.
In the early hours of the morning there was also an accident: a traffic policeman was hit by a truck busy maneuvering in front of the San Benigno gate. Fortunately, his condition is not serious.
The block at the Albertazzi gate
First problems for incoming goods: the biggest problem is that of the San Begnino gate, where international goods pass, currently manned by workers. First lines of trucks trying to enter from other port gates still free. No slowdown, for now, in Pra ‘.

The workers protest, as stated in their communiqué, why with the obligation of the Green pass in the workplace “the working class is discriminated against, private uniform of income, contractual protections and privacy “and the free use of tampons.
This time the formal adhesion of Libera Piazza Genova did not reach the protest: the association that coordinates the “resistance initiatives against the Draghi government and the green pass” has left freedom of membership.
