Employee demands include salary increases. The port employees in Trieste met the outgoing president of the port authority, Zeno D’Agostino. “I stand on the side of the workers in a very complex time. The shipowners and terminal operators have made very high profits during the years of the pandemic. I hope that steps will be taken to find a solution,” said D’Agostino. Several Friulian local and regional politicians were among the demonstrators, as media reported.
There were also strikes in other Italian ports on Friday. In view of inflation, the unions are demanding an increase in wages by around 18 percent.
The free port of Trieste was opened on March 18, 1719 under the Austrian Emperor Charles VI. built. It was later expanded by his daughter Maria Theresia, who developed it into a port for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The port of Trieste is the largest Italian port and is particularly important for Austria.
