BNL, this is what the bank of the French Bnp Paribas will sell
According to the indiscretions collected by Startmag, Bnl of the French Bnp group would have sent a formal communication of opening procedure for the sale of the branch pursuant to art. 47 L. 428/1990 for the IT (Information Technology) company branch. All the details
Storm in the Bnl house.
According to the indiscretions gathered by Startmag among the executives of the banking group controlled by Bnl Paribas, a formal communication has just been sent to open the branch transfer procedure pursuant to art. 47 L. 428/1990 for the IT (Information Technology) of Bnl only.
But the concerns of the unions already go further, fearing other reorganisations and divestments, in addition to those that have already taken place. ( here the recent analysis of Startmag ).
HERE ARE THE 8 BUSINESS BRANCHES BNL WANTS TO SELL
The French group wants to sell eight company branches . The first – according to the indiscretions of Startmag – is precisely the banking service platform, the one that deals with Information Technology. Outsourcing involves around 270 people out of a total of around 650 people in the IT Department . The other seven branches belong to the back office and logistics sector. Among the first are: the activities of entering into relations, payment instruments, flows, inheritances and mortgages. One might think that the company, considering each of the offices it intends to sell distinct branches, is trying to comply with the requirements of the legislation that imposes seniority and functional autonomy of each branch before the sale, in the awareness that these activities, now divided into various areas , cannot be a branch. The workers of these seven back office and logistics branches – according to Startmag's reconstruction – are about 560 out of a total of about 1400 people in the entire back office.
BNL'S RELATIONS WITH TRADE UNIONS
The company asked the union for help in downsizing the workforce. But the workers' organizations of Fabi, First Cisl, Fisa Cgil, Uilca and Unisin have been very clear on this point in recent days. "The union has repeatedly tried to explain clearly and with firm determination, the impossibility of following the company on the idea of expelling 10% of the workforce from the perimeter of the group divided into 8 small sectors all to be verified in their functionality and autonomy and of which even today, only a nebulous information has been provided, mostly numerical and geographical – the trade unionists write in a note, underlining that the company is economically prosperous -. A company that in the emphatic presentation of the CEO Goitini listed a series of very positive data that place the group at the top in terms of profitability and efficiency, gave hope to keep the promise of returning the fruit to the workers, true creators of the results. of the many sacrifices made in recent years ".
THE PLANS OF BNL AND THE SALES ALREADY OCCURRED
In short, the Bnl group (Bnp Paribas) aims at downsizing . In the plans of the bank controlled by the French group there is the desire to outsource as many as 900 workers leading to the closure of branches and administrative offices. Already at the beginning of 2021, 40% of Bnl Finance , specialized in the sale of the fifth, was sold to Poste Italiane while in the last weeks of the year the closing of the sale of 80% of Axepta to a company is expected French , which will lead to the exit of another 110 employees. The unions are on a war footing and promise not to let the company's "restructuring" plan pass without fighting.
