The Gkn of Florence closes, “in 422 sent home by mail”

“What happened to the workers of the Gkn” in Florence “who were at work until six in the morning, already because the work is not lacking at the Gkn, and at 10, with an email, they were sent home, is unspeakable. world of work, in Florence, Tuscany and all of Italy. We will not leave these workers alone, to whom all our solidarity goes, we will respond as we know how, with mobilization “. This was jointly declared by Dalida Angelini, general secretary of CGIL Toscana, and Massimo Braccini general secretary of Fiom CGIL Toscana. “The CGIL and Fiom will propose a regional response to CISL and UIL and their categories, because the problem goes far beyond Florence, the 422 of the Gkn and the other related companies. We will discuss it with the Gkn workers in a permanent assembly. that we will meet on Monday – continues the trade union note by Angelini and Braccini – In the meantime, let’s say to Draghi and his ministers: a solution must be found now, not in a few years. The problem should be known, there are multinationals that arrive, take, consume territory and run away, leaving social rubble. In Italy they can do it, this is not the case in other countries, even very close to us, “.” “The closure announced yesterday through an email from the Gkn of Campi Bisenzio and the dismissal is a truly unacceptable fact of the 422 workers. It is not the first time that a multinational has shown absolute insensitivity towards work, the fate of hundreds of families and our country as a whole ”. This was stated in a joint note by the general secretary of the CISL, Luigi Sbarra and the general secretary of the Fim CISL, Roberto Benaglia. “The Government – they underline – must intervene by immediately activating the monitoring table on corporate crises envisaged by the agreement at Palazzo Chigi of 29 June, calling on companies to respect all procedures to guarantee employment, dignity of work and the person. Workers are not commodities. The behavior of this multinational is intolerable, which proves to think only of profit, not respecting the agreements and apparently with the prospect of delocalizing the productions “. The union, they conclude, “will not allow this umpteenth barbarism. The Government has a duty to intervene in a strong and decisive manner. The employers’ associations must take an active part in governing the processes of change in the industry with the union agreements and the necessary social sensitivity. “.” This morning I went to the GKN in Campi Bisenzio together with the whole Democratic Party of Tuscany and the Mayor of Campi Bisenzio Emiliano Fossi to express our closeness to the workers and to condemn the serious and unprecedented behavior of the multinational “, writes Simona on Facebook.
