All the numbers on the union agreement in Unicredit concerning the staff. Data and comments

By 2024, Unicredit plans a total of 2,500 stable jobs between new hires and the transformation of permanent apprenticeship contracts.

In detail, on the basis of the agreement with the unions reached during the night, the group undertakes to hire 725 people in the three-year period 2022/2024, which, added to the remaining 775 of the Agreement of 2 April 2020, bring new entrants to approximately 1,500.

To these must be added 1,000 apprentices who will be confirmed over time in permanent employment contracts.

This ensures positive generational turnover and an increase in the digital skills of the workforce, the bank emphasizes in a note.

As for today's agreement which provides for 725 hires and deals with new hires with open-ended contracts / apprenticeships, in the ratio of one entry for every two exits to join the plan, up to the inclusion of 475 resources who will be placed in the bank branches.

In order to strengthen the generational turnover, Unicredit also declares that it will carry out a corresponding further number of 250 hires, equally divided between the branches and the strengthening of the Digital area.

HERE ARE DETAILS AND COMMENTS ON THE UNICREDIT AGREEMENT

An agreement was signed between Unicredit and the trade unions to manage the repercussions of the new industrial plan “Unlocked 2022-2024”, an agreement which envisages the hiring of 750 young people mainly destined for branches, in the face of 1200 incentivized and voluntary exits.

THE COMMENT OF THE FABI

"It is an agreement of strong discontinuity with respect to the previous management of Unicredit: above all, the importance of Italy for the future of the group is confirmed and, despite an industrial plan of significant digital transformation, centrality is given to female workers and to workers, confirming that the human factor, in the banking sector, cannot in any way be overcome by new technologies »declared the national secretary of Fabi, Mauro Morelli.

WHAT CHANGES WITH THE AGREEMENT ACCORDING TO FABI

«It is a very important agreement on the issue of generational turnover and occupational balance. On the first issue, we asked and obtained that, in the face of 250 voluntary and incentivized exits, additional to the initial 950 redundancies, 250 young people are hired: in fact the 1 to 1 ratio photographs the overcoming of the sole concept of redundancy and cutting the cost of labor, therefore it determines and realizes a significant employment lever in the context of generational change; on the second issue, in the face of 950 redundancies declared by UniCredit, again on a voluntary and incentivized basis, we obtained 475 new hires of young people, all destined for the physical network of the branches, for some time now in an objective and critical lack of staff. The stabilization / confirmation of about 1,000 apprentices / temporary workers in the company today is also of utmost importance. In addition, there is a strong push towards adequate training, also through the establishment of an Academy, on the basis of the happy and now distant experience in UniCredito Italiano »comments the coordinator Fabi in the Unicredit group, Stefano Cefaloni. «The management of the hours bank immediately returns to the provisions of the National Collective Labor Agreement, fully respecting the dictates and the procedures for full use. In these days, we are working on a definition of Vap 2021 that is absolutely meaningful and rewarding for Workers, recognizing their commitment, self-denial and determination. In fact, all of this contributes to the relaunch of the Italian bank, to which all interested parties must contribute to its full realization »adds Cefaloni.

THE SYNTHESIS OF THE FABI

The agreement on the new Unicredit industrial plan, signed overnight by Fabi with the other trade unions and the company, is in the name of generational change. Against a total of 1,200 exits only on a voluntary basis, 725 new hires of young people were agreed as well as the confirmation of 1,000 workers and workers currently in apprenticeship: in total, 1,725 ​​stable jobs, i.e. 525 more than the 1,200 exits , Fabi points out.

DETAILS ABOUT THE AGREEMENT IN UNICREDIT

The agreement, in detail, concerns the employment effects of the "Unlocked 2022-2024" industrial plan, provides for a first block of 950 exits that will be managed with retirements and early retirements, only on a voluntary basis, through the Solidarity Fund, compensates from 475 hiring.

Furthermore, an established “window” of exit for 250 male and female workers, again on a voluntary basis, compensated with 250 entries. With 1,200 redundancies and 725 entries, a coverage percentage of “service terminations” of 60% is thus achieved, never before achieved in the banking sector.

Numbers to which to add the stabilization of 1,000 apprenticeship contracts that learn the total of stable jobs at 1,725. As for the distribution of the new workforce, it was established that 83% will go to the network, that is 600 units, while the remaining 17% (equal to 125 employees) will be assigned to the digital area.
