Filt Cgil

What Filt Cgil does

Filt Cgil (legal name: FILT Cgil - Federazione Italiana Lavoratori Trasporti CGIL) is an Italian sectoral trade union federation founded in 1980 and headquartered in Rome. It operates as the transport-sector federation inside the CGIL confederation, representing workers across three sub-sectors: Terra (rail, road, public transport, logistics), Mare (ports, shipping, cruise), and Aria (aviation, airports). Its core functional activities are collective bargaining, workplace health and safety representation, labor-rights advocacy, strike organization, and policy engagement with Italian ministries, the European Commission, and international union bodies.

The federation's primary digital platform is the VAI SICUR* health-and-safety framework, an acronym covering Verifiche e controlli (verifications), Attenzione (attention), In-formazione (training), Salute (health), Inidoneità alla mansione (job suitability), Contrattazione (bargaining), Ultimo responsabile (ultimate responsibility), Rappresentanza (representation), and Genere (gender). It delivers checklists, musculoskeletal-disorder and work-stress resources, workplace-aggression guidance, and INAIL-supported work-rehabilitation services for members with work-related disabilities (up to €135,000 for architectural barriers at 100% reimbursement; up to €15,000 for retraining at 60% reimbursement). Operations are supported by a website (filtcgil.it), publications including Il Lavoro nei Trasporti, the NO STOP newsletter, and active social channels on Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok.

Filt Cgil is a non-profit organization with no commercial revenue model; operations are funded by membership dues (quote di iscrizione) administered inside the CGIL confederation. It holds direct memberships in the European Transport Federation (ETF, founded 1999) and the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF), and benefits from indirect affiliation to the European Trade Union Confederation (CES/ETUC) and the International Trade Union Confederation (CSI/ITUC). Leadership is held by General Secretary Stefano Malorgio. The federation has 51-100 staff and operates exclusively in Italy through a national network of regional and territorial union offices.
