New union controversies in Bnl. All the details in the article by Emanuela Rossi
There is no sign of appeasing the controversy regarding the transfer of 530 BNL employees to Accenture Services and Technology (Ast), a company of the Irish company Accenture, which should start on Wednesday 1 June. It now emerges that over a quarter of the workers concerned are disabled or caregivers, very worried about the news as are their colleagues and the unions who have not signed the agreement with the company regarding the sale. This operation also alarmed Palazzo Chigi, which weeks ago requested further documentation from BNL in the context of the golden power.
According to what The Post International writes, however, in recent days the dialogue between the bank and the trade unions has resumed and according to a source close to the dossier it is possible that a posthumous agreement may be found.
THE OPERATION
The transfer of 530 workers from Bnl to Accenture is part of a larger project of the subsidiary of Bnp Paribas and in which there is also the decision to sell the IT branch of the company to the French Capgemini, or rather to a recently established subsidiary. and today without activities and workers, Capgemini Finance Service Tech. Therefore, this is a plan that will lead to around 800 employees to change employer: 250 with IT skills, employed in the so-called IT of core banking, and another 530 active in the back-office. For the latter, a partner was identified in Accenture while for the former, the transition to Capgemini was already completed in April without, however, the signing of the relative trade union agreements.
THE DOUBTS OF THE GOVERNMENT AND THE FOLLOWING GOAL
A little more than a month ago, the Draghi executive also decided to move on the matter, asking BNL for more details on the Accenture company called to manage the personal data of the bank's Italian customers, which is now in foreign hands. Fabi, First Cisl, Fisac Cgil, Uilca and Unisin had reported that, during a meeting on April 29, the company "communicated to the workers within the perimeter of the sale object of the Savoy operation that there would be a shift in the effects of the procedure (the transfer in fact) due to 'a request for further information by the competent authorities under the so-called Golden Power procedure' ". No problem for BNL which, according to what was reported by the Radiocor press agency, had made it known that it had already ready the answers to the questions posed by the Government and that in any case the outsourcing of the 530 back-office employees would have been completed by June.
At this point the deadlines will be respected given the decision of Palazzo Chigi not to exercise the special powers provided for by the law after the investigation conducted by the Ministry of Economy and Finance on the sale. Therefore, after the notification occurred on April 8, "the proposal not to exercise the special powers, formulated by the Ministry of the Economy as the administration responsible for the investigation, was accepted".
THE QUESTION OF FRAGILE WORKERS
Among the workers who will switch to Ast, informs Tpi , there are 210 who fall into disadvantaged categories: disabled, cancer patients, caregivers certified by law 104. The average age is 55 years. "We have reason to believe that this operation actually has the objective of cutting 'waste', 'dry branches', that is people whose career has been accompanied by illness and psychophysical vulnerability" Giovanna Maria Ragusa tells the newspaper. contact person of the group of fragile employees and caregivers of BNL, set up to stop the disposal plan.
An accusation that is rejected by Bnl: the institute speaks of an industrial choice, made to improve customer service. They also point out to Tpi that the employees involved will not be fired but transferred to another company while keeping the contractual details of their employment relationships unchanged. An operation that is part of what was declared last November in an interview with Corriere della Sera by the managing director of Bnl, Elena Goitini: “To keep up with technology, specialist skills are needed. This is why the alliance formula is central ”.
It should be remembered that the issue of the 210 outgoing fragile workers had already emerged some time ago, so much so that at the end of April the Minister for Disabilities, the Northern League player Erika Stefani, had received a delegation from them.
