Even the Abbanoa workers are on a war footing, with the unions ready to call a strike in the absence of "answers" from the company and the regional government.
The acronyms – Filctem Cgil, Femca Cisl and Uilctec Uil – underline how so far «out of a sense of responsibility towards the essential public role of a company like Abbanoa» glaring forms of protest have been avoided, but, they write in a note, « now the measure is full , the president of the Region has the choice of intervening to remedy the situation or let it go adrift ».
"For years we have been trying to have a dialogue with the various representatives of the company who have taken turns - write the regional secretaries Francesco Garau, Marco Nappi and Pierluigi Loi - but in the largest industrial company in the Region it seems impossible to re-establish respect for the cardinal principles of bargaining collective. The work done by the workers of Abbanoa is not recognized, neither from a professional and organizational point of view nor from an economic point of view - they observe - it is an intolerable situation, moreover in a society that performs an essential service for the citizens " .
"A service - underline the categories - guaranteed thanks to the self-sacrifice of the employees, even in the toughest period of the pandemic, when remote working has produced evident management improvements in relation to services to the citizen".
Added to all this is the "failure to share with the trade unions and the union union the strategic plans that are periodically updated, let alone the organizational changes".
In short, the unions believe, "questionable and unilateral choices which have wiped out trade union relations with a growing discontent of the workers".
For these reasons, a state of unrest was proclaimed as early as last November 17, but at the moment, however, nothing has changed and the last act of the dispute, to avoid further disputes which could even lead to a strike, is the request for an intervention by the regional president.
