"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, safety is an integral part of the right to mobility that we are called upon to guarantee. That is why we have always spoken out against the free-market policies that in recent years have increasingly reduced transport to being a mere product. The effects of those policies on safety and on the right to mobility itself must be made perfectly clear and, in our opinion, they should be seen as detrimental and a cause for concern. Changing direction means placing rights, and not just profits, at the heart of the strategy. What we need are rules, controls and investment. The role of transport sector workers is fundamental in this, and it may prove decisive in ensuring that adequate standards are met. Good trade union relations are essential, not only to ensure respect for workers’ rights but also to safeguard all our citizens. In this context, I must report a serious situation to this House: the discrimination that the largest trade union representing flight attendants is experiencing in Italy, as the board of Alitalia is denying its right to take part in negotiations. This is even more serious since it involves a company like Alitalia, which for us has a strategic importance that we want to promote. There is a basic rule that needs to be stated: only ‘good’ work will produce ‘good’, safe transport."@en1
