Because the trade unions of BNL (Bnp Paribas group) went on strike. All the details

The staff of the BNL returns to abstain from work, after the very successful strike of last December 27. The protest – reads a document from the trade unions – is always directed against the industrial plan of Bnl: closure of branches and repercussions in terms of functional and geographical mobility; sale of a controlling stake in strategic product companies such as Axepta; model of presence on the territory; delay in the number of hires agreed in union agreements relating to the so-called Q100; outsourcing project through the sale of the IT company branch – procedure pursuant to article 47, law 428/1990 and subsequent mod. and int. concluded without agreement on 24/12/2021; staff shortages in branches and commercial pressures.

Here are the head offices of the workers and trade unions of BNL on Monday 24 January 2022: in Rome from 10 to 13 in via XX Settembre 97 at the Bank of Italy; in Milan from 8 to 12 in Via Deruta 19 (back office); in Florence from 9 to 12 Via dei Cerretani (BNL branch) and in Naples from 8 to 12 via Toledo (Naples branch office).

"On the eve of the launch of a new comparison procedure on the sale of branch in Bnl, the extraordinary participation in the strike and the large participation in the various units held throughout Italy, starting with the one at the Bank of Italy in Rome, represent a demonstration of strength by the labor front against the suicide plan of BNL ", declared Tommaso Vigliotti, National Secretary of Unisin-CONFSAL and Secretary Responsible for the BNL / BNPP Paribas Group, during today's garrison held in via XX Settembre in Rome, at the Bank of Italy, to protest against the industrial plan of the BNL which provides, among other things, the sale of company branches with the consequent expulsion of about 900 workers, the closure of 135 branches, the sale of Axepta.

"We have been in the square since last June protesting with 7 principals before today's, and since September we have been engaged in a very hard confrontation at the union table to avoid that a management that lives out of reality ruin the bank and the lives of hundreds of families ”explains the Secretary of Unisin.

Numerous initiatives mentioned by Vigliotti, in fact the sit-ins have been held in recent months in Rome, Milan, Florence, Bari, Naples, near the French ambassador, also in Rome, and today simultaneously in all the squares.

“The joint initiative of the trade unions Fabi, First, Fisac, Uilca and Unisin, aims to avoid the dismemberment of the bank,” says Vigliotti. "The people of the BNL, who again flocked to the assembly in large numbers last week and which today joined the second strike en masse after that of last December 27, gives the Union the strength and mandate to continue to oppose the Company's plans: we will sit down at the table determined to identify alternative and comprehensive solutions to all the issues involved in this long dispute. If the BNL remains obtusely deaf, the mobilization will continue and grow in intensity and the opposition at the tables and in the square will be accompanied by battles in the courtrooms ”concludes Vigliotti.

Today's strike was given the green light by the authority last week. "Collective abstention is legitimately proclaimed": the Commission to guarantee the implementation of the law on the strike in essential public services has thus given the green light to the strike of January 24 in Bnl (Bnp Paribas) called by the Fabi, First Cisl, Fisac Cgil, Uilca and Unisin.

According to what was reported in a note , with reference to the BNL report on the strike of 24 January with which an assessment of the legitimacy was requested, "without going into the merits of the question relating to the duration of the cooling procedure, part of the BNL for the" Outsourcing through the sale of the Back Office business branches (whose reconstruction appears correct in any case), it is believed that, given the presence of other points of complaint within the open trade union dispute (for which no agreement has been reached ), the collective abstention, announced for January 24, 2022, is legitimately proclaimed ".

This is what the Commission for guaranteeing the implementation of the law on the strike in essential public services writes, in an urgent communication sent to Bnl and to the trade unions FABI, First Cisl, Fisac Cgil, Uilca and Unisin, responding to a report of 12 January sent by the National Labor Bank.

What do the unions say? BNL tried to anticipate the strike of January 24th by using "quibbles that, following the pronouncement of the independent authority, were found to be inconsistent". This was stated by the national secretariats of FABI, First-Cisl, Fisac-Cgil, Uilca-Uil and Unisin, commenting on the pronouncement of the Guarantee Commission, which declared the new strike legitimately proclaimed.

"After the massive adhesion to the strike of December 27 and in view of the new strike day proclaimed for January 24 – reads a note – BNL also collects a blow from the Commission guaranteeing the implementation of the law on strike in the services essential publics ”, the trade union organizations state jointly, the National Secretariats of FABI, First / Cisl, Fisac / Cgil and Unisin declare.
