Alitalia, trade unions: “Ita wants a free hand on the contract, the government will intervene”

The unions confirmed the air transport strike for September 24, after the confrontation with Ita. Tomorrow the confederal unions will send a letter to the government to involve it in the dispute. Cleofe Tolotta of the Usb speaks of “difficult and uphill negotiations.” “Ita wants a free hand on the contract and wants to choose its employees without taking into account work experience” said Uilm secretary, Claudio Tarlazzi, at the end of the confrontation with the top management of Ita. “We take care of 10,500 Alitalia workers and not just the 2,800 that Ita wants to hire. We asked for government intervention because we need answers that Ita cannot give alone” explains Fabrizio Cuscito, secretary of Filt. ” Ita – adds Cuscito – informed us that he is leaving Assaereo, the employers’ association that applies the national collective bargaining agreement. This is paradoxical because it takes place from a company controlled by the state and therefore goes against the rule prescribed in the relaunch decree which provides for the application of the minimum wages of the national employment contract “.
