A question, an answer and a counter-answer between Areus and the deputy of the Pd Silvio Lai . The case is that of a young nurse, who would have been denied employment at Brotzu in Cagliari because she was pregnant . In the complaint, the MP explains that the girl, on the list, had been contacted by the company and had accepted the offer of full-time and permanent employment.
Then the about-face: «It would have arrived», says Lai, «due to the decision of the general manager of the health company who communicated to the unions, on June 26, the impossibility of proceeding with the recruitment given the fact that in the pre-employment visit, despite being been declared suitable, temporarily excluding only night activities and those of emergency vehicles 118, the worker had declared her pregnancy for three months ». A circumstance which, for the deputy, would represent serious discrimination.
Areus's response was not long in coming, explaining that the decision was independent of the woman's pregnancy, of which the company was not even aware: «The nurse, although usefully placed in the ranking of the competition announced by Brotzu, had limitations in the pre-employment visit phase ». Then the management adds some details: «In the competent doctor's report, the only document officially available to the Employer, there is no mention of the nurse's pregnancy , but only mention of job limitations. Consequently, it is easy to deduce how the management of Areus could not know the pregnancy status of the professional when he made her non-employment official to the nurse ».
A thesis that didn't convince Silvio Lai: «Areus climbs on straws to try to justify the unjustifiable. At the time of the pre-employment medical examination, the woman in question, given her three months' pregnancy, was found to be suitable, with the only limitations of 118 and night hours. Moreover, already previously at the request of Areus itself he had accepted the assignment. It is therefore not true that no one knew she was pregnant .'
But the story may not be concluded, because the company has made it known that it is evaluating "another possible suitable placement for the nurse". And precisely in this last regard, the deputy of the Democratic Party reconnects: "A piece of advice: do it immediately without hesitation and assume that woman temporarily with another role waiting to be able to resume what was shamefully taken away from her".
