Alitalia, break between trade unions and Ita

It is a total break between the unions and Ita on the contract. The company would have confirmed that it wants to go ahead with the company regulation, according to news learned from union sources. Ita would also be ready to initiate ad personam calls for the staff to be hired. In the meantime, the unions are preparing to demonstrate tomorrow morning in Rome, at 10.30 in Piazza San Silvestro, in conjunction with the hearing of the Ita summit in parliament.For Friday, the strike of next Friday of air transport workers confirmed, as Monica Mascia declares , national secretary of the Fit-Cisl. “We remind you that, in addition to the Alitalia / Ita dispute, the absence in the air transport system of labor rules common to all companies in the sector based in Italy damages the country and the industrial projects that would be activated in this transport segment. For these reasons, having not yet received a call from the competent ministries, despite the numerous and repeated reminders, the strike of all air transport is confirmed next Friday, 24 September “, he says. As for the Alitalia-Ita situation,” since when the dispute started we immediately said that the employment issue was essential “, says. Mascia.” The fact that Ita is a new company and that it is born from scratch cannot constitute an excuse for not recognizing the rights of workers who to date they have been the only ones to pay the price for failed commercial strategies and policies. We therefore expect – continues Mascia – that, since the Alitalia and Ita disputes are intertwined and the problems falling within the remit of four ministries, the Government will take on the coordination of the management of the dispute and that in compliance with the current legislation it gives in a short time the correct answers, which must be the recognition of social safety nets and the necessary active labor policies aimed at guaranteeing the maintenance of flight and technical qualifications and certifications. “As regards the Ita affair, we believe – underlines Mascia – that it is necessary quickly define a company contract consistent with the provisions of the national collective agreement for air transport. Precisely for these reasons we are offering the company a relational path aimed at achieving these objectives “.
