Allowance for fishing workers

Bellanova: "We recognize with Mipaaf resources compensation to fishery workers unjustly excluded from the horizontal measures"

"The goal is clear: we guarantee the income protection of self-employed fisheries workers, including cooperative members, who have inexplicably remained so far from the benefit of the bonuses provided by the Cura Italia" and Relaunch ".

So the Minister Teresa Bellanova, after the approval of the amendment.

“With the amendment that we have formulated and approved today,” Bellanova continues, “we are planning, with a commitment of around € 4 million, to pay an allowance of € 950 for each autonomous fisherman, to support the difficult situation caused by the emergency.

This audience of workers was in fact among the hardest hit by the negative consequences of these dramatic months, the cause of the suspension of the restaurant channel, which led to a real economic meltdown in the sector ".

The intervention of economic support, covered exclusively with resources destined for the Mipaaf, specifies Bellanova, “was made necessary in the face of the exclusion of autonomous fishermen from the horizontal measures for the allowances paid to all other categories of workers.

An unjust, illogical, unjustified exclusion, which today we shelter even if it would have been right, considering the many billions destined for social safety nets, to include these workers too. This pushes us to underline how necessary it is that the world of fishing, like the other sectors, has structurally recognized the use of social safety nets ”.
