Why the unions scramble Iliad
Question and answer between trade unions and Iliad. Here are the issues at the center of the controversy
The unions attacked by Iliad.
Iliad Italia consolidates itself in the telecommunications market in our country, but the workers are "among the lowest paid in the sector" and the approach is "on the verge of anti-union conduct". This was stated by the national secretariats Slc Cgil, Fistel Cisl and Uilcom Uil in a note, taken up by Radiocor .
The unions remember how the company has consolidated over the years. In fact , on 25 January the French telecommunications company announced the launch of the fixed connectivity offer in ultra-fast fiber in Italy, marking the debut on the Italian fixed and mobile market.
However, this growth did not coincide with the prosperity of "trade union relations" and the "economic and regulatory conditions of workers" as highlighted by Slc Cgil, Fistel Cisl and Uilcom Uil. Last February, at the news of a possible operation of Iliad with Vodafone in Italy ( later faded ), the same acronyms in fact complained about the lack of clarity on the part of the company.
All the details.
THE ACCUSATIONS OF SINDACATI SLC CGIL, FISTEL CISL AND UILCOM UIL IN ILIAD
"For about two years – reads the note – the trade unions of Slc Cgil, Fistel Cisl, Uilcom Uil have been trying to start a constructive, healthy, without prejudicial approach, with Iliad Italia to create a system of industrial and trade union relations , consistent with the production reality that the company now represents in the telecommunications sector and in the country system. A company that, after having conquered an important slice of the mobile market, has consolidated over the years, recently also entering the ultra-fast fixed network market ”.
“Turnover in constant growth, which is consolidated from quarter to quarter, important investments, results well beyond the rosiest expectations. In this context of plus signs, growth, improvement, records, there are two aspects that certainly do not grow in Iliad: trade union relations and the economic and regulatory conditions of workers ”underline the trade unions.
IMPACT IN PROCUREMENT
Iliad's approach, again according to the trade unions, "also has repercussions in the world of procurement, both in the network sector and in customer care or in the world of retail where more workers operate than the direct employees of Iliad itself, with hyperprecary contractual forms , with the application in some cases, even of 'pirate' contracts ”.
SPECTRUM DUMPING
"We would not like dumping – conclude the acronyms – the real secret of Iliad's success, and its hyperconvenient tariffs".
A COMPARISON IS WANTED
Finally, the national secretariats "hoping in any case for a prompt change of approach towards workers and those who represent them, will immediately start an assembly process to share with the workers of Iliad the initiatives to be implemented if conditions are not created optimal comparison starting from the next few days ".
THE COMPANY'S REPLY
Immediate replication of the tlc operator.
“Iliad has always worked in compliance with the reference market and its employees, as well as its suppliers”, replied the company led by Benedetto Levi. "As evidenced by the fact that it has never competed for the maximum discount and that it has always managed all the call center activities only in Italy" he underlined in the note. "He therefore considers the accusations made by the unions totally unfounded" concluded Iliad.
