Unatras, without a meeting with the government, ready for a national shutdown

"The road transport situation has now exceeded the alert level, as demonstrated by the tensions and autonomous blockades that have arisen in Puglia, as well as the blockade initiatives already planned by autonomous committees and groups in Calabria and Sicily in the next few days. If the government does not convene a meeting as a matter of utmost urgency, by choosing to ignore the responsible association representation, it assumes the responsibility of consigning the sector to total paralysis". This was communicated by Unatras, the freight road transport association.

"All of this is the extreme expression of a widespread and no longer sustainable malaise on the part of businesses - continued the association -. What has precipitated the situation is the total and repeated lack of discussion with the government, which continues to ignore the requests for meetings of national representatives to discuss the demands of a vital sector, crushed by the surge in out-of-pocket management costs, above all the cost of diesel, and by the lack of real protections in an increasingly less regulated market. Faced with this scenario of total immobility institutional, the Unatras residence announces that it will not helplessly watch the failure of its companies".
