For acronyms it would be “a type of three card game”, at least that’s how it would appear to the general secretaries of the Make Cisl Cosenza, Antonio Pisani, of the Flai CGIL Bruzia Giovambattista Nicoletti And from the Uila Uil Antonio De Gregorio the modus operandi of Green Calabria in relation to the expectations of the works of forestry sector in the Cosenza area.
The union leaders point to the fact that the times and methods had been agreed upon on a series of open questions, starting from awaited and discussed retraining of a large portion of workers “who for years have carried out duties and functions well above the current levels of classification”.
In particular, this concerns all operators employees with different functions in the activities of prevention and fight to forest firesof those who carry out guardianship functionsyes those who they use chainsaws and brushcutters and many other figures used on forestry construction sites.
“It’s a workforce – explain Pisani, Nicoletti and De Gregorio – which in the province of Cosenza records, in addition to a particularly significant number of employees, also a lower average age which still allows AIB campaigns to be planned with a certain efficiency. All this inevitably fuels legitimate expectations which, as in this case, are disappointed.”
Expectations of seeing what was agreed upon realized redevelopment numbers and on his implementation methodswhich as the Acronyms still highlight were based on investigations and checks by the company.
“Instead – the workers’ representatives blurt out – we found ourselves with a partial and divisive intervention which affected around 60 workers, creating tensions on the construction sites of the province, among the workers themselves and a lot of disappointment among those who, in a few months from now, will have to, with a sense of responsibility, answer the call for the start of a service, that of AIB, which received much attention from Councilor Gallo and Governor Occhiuto”.
“Furthermore – they press on Pisani, Nicoletti and De Gregorio – the abusive impositions on workers to recover extraordinary work activities with compensatory hours continue on the part of construction site managers, despite the repeated and justified opposition expressed by the Trade Unions, as it is not in line with what is established by the national Ccnl of the sector; not to mention the unrecognized overtime hours in 2020 even though regularly recorded and still in the process of being approved but not yet paid”.
For lastthen the contractual institution of the mileage allowance “now prey to the most total corporate schizophrenia compared to what was signed for the months from January to March 2024″ say the trade unionists.
The three leaders of the Sigle point out that feelings of conflict arise every day in assemblies and on work sites anger, disappointment and discouragement and, in some cases, difficulties of many workers which, despite having the withholding of a fifth of the salarythe same would not come transferred from the company to the credit institutions to consumption,”creating quite a few problems”.
“This and other – they blurt out Pisani, Nicoletti and De Gregorio – we believe they require reflection on the part of politicians, are they carelessness? Are they an accumulation of excessive work? Is it managerial incompetence? These are questions we ask ourselves, but above all we ask the management of Calabria Verde and the Hon. Councilor. Gianluca Gallo”, they conclude.
