Air Italy, all the latest news
Difficult negotiations on the CIG front between Air Italy and the trade unions, which invoke the help of the institutions. What's going on
Air Italy remains on the ground. While the company is negotiating with the trade unions a possible extension of the redundancy fund for 1,453 workers, the liquidators confirm their will to cease operations. In fact, no buyer has expressed an interest in a possible acquisition.
TOWARDS PROBABLE CIG
The first meeting was held yesterday between the company in the aeronautical sector and the nine trade unions that protect the rights of employees at Air Italy. At the center of the negotiations is the extension of the layoffs for 1,453 workers for another 10 months.
THE KNOTS TO UNTIL
But the knots to be solved, however, are not few. Air Italy, which in recent months had also started the practices for a collective dismissal, has no intention of anticipating the redundancy payment and this would mean that employees could remain without salary for at least 3-4 months.
NO UNDERSTANDING
There is a clash between the company and the unions at the moment. No agreement has been reached and the negotiations will reopen on August 26, in a new comparison via the web.
THE INTENTIONS OF AIR ITALY
What the airline wants, which has determined that there would be no buyers available, is to close quickly and this would mean triggering the end of the employment relationship even during the Cigs. It is also difficult to undertake active labor policies for the professional reintegration of employees.
SKIP CASH EXTRAORDINARY INTEGRATION?
These conditions (at the moment) blow up the extraordinary redundancy fund that the government had planned as part of the solidarity fund for the air transport sector planned to deal with the crisis in the sector caused by Covid-19.
WHAT THE UNIONS ASK
On the part of the trade unions, however, the company, but above all the government and institutions, is asked that, writes Ansa , "the professional assets of the aeronautical sector are not lost".
CGIL: UNACCEPTABLE CONDITIONS
In short, finding an agreement is a very difficult question. “Although the company has confirmed not only its willingness to sign the Cigs agreement for ten months, but to want to activate it as of September 1, at the same time it has set some conditions that are in fact unacceptable. Conditions that in addition to being inadmissible, would harm the individual rights of workers guaranteed by the legislation in force and by the national contract itself. The desire to place the condition that after ten months of Cigs the employment relationship for 1,453 employees of Air Italy would be interrupted 'sic et simpliciter' without taking into account the fact that throughout this period there could be expressions of interest from other carriers and / or companies interested in taking over all or part of the company's activities, it is incomprehensible and unacceptable ”, explains Arnaldo Boeddu, general secretary of Filt Cgil Sardegna.
NUNZIA CATALFO: GOVERNMENT AT WORK
Meanwhile, in recent days, in an interview with La Nuova Sardegna , the Minister of Labor Nunzia Catalfo reiterated that the government is "at work".
“With the ministry of economic development and that of transport we are working to ensure maximum employment continuity for Air Italy employees. We are evaluating all possible perspectives and we will shortly present the first proposals to the trade unions, ”Catalfo said.
