Striking sailors from La Méridionale have been blocking ships from their company and Corsica Linea since Friday in the port of Marseille to demand an agreement between the two companies on crossings to Corsican ports.
"Five boats are blocked in the port of Marseille, two from the South and three from Corsica Linea," said Cyril Venouil, of the Corsican Workers' Union (STC), who is calling with the CFTC to reach an agreement between their company. and Corsica Linea to share the future service of the five Corsican ports from Marseille from January 2021 for seven years.
"It is the disappearance of La Méridionale that is looming"
"For the moment, it is the status quo , there is zero negotiation, but if this agreement is not found within 15 days, it is the disappearance of La Méridionale with its 500 employees that is looming", put guard Cyril Venouil. Thursday, a call for candidates for the Marseille-Propriano and Marseille-Porto-Vecchio links until the end of 2020 was re-launched after the failure to award the transitional public service delegation for these lines.
In June 2019, Corsica Linea, ex-SNCM owned by a consortium of Corsican companies, had obtained this transient DSP of 15 months for three of the five lines between Marseille and Corsica (Ajaccio-Marseille, Bastia-Marseille and Ile -Rousse-Marseille). In the previous PSD, Corsica Linea and La Méridionale, belonging to the Stef logistics group, were allies and shared the five routes.
