COSENZA – Sappe – Autonomous Prison Police Union – asked the change of director of the Cosenza prison. “In recent days – say Giovanni Battista Duringdeputy general secretary of Sappe e Francesco Cicconeregional secretary – with a questionable service order in various respects, from our point of view, the direction of the Cosenza prison has removed from office which he had held for years, with great professionalism, the provincial secretary of Sappe, replacing him with another, belonging to the Corps, who is also secretary of another trade union organisation”.
“Serious action”
“What makes management’s action even more serious is the fact that the interested party stay taking advantage of a period of absencerequired by law, for assist a family member suffering from complex pathologies”. “We ask for the change of the prison director – continue the trade unionists – since we believe that there is no longer the necessary serenity and the conditions to maintain a fruitful and balanced dialogue. The straw that broke the camel’s back was the removal of our provincial secretary, which occurred at a time when he was dealing with a family problem.”
“The Administration, in response, removed him from officemoreover in a manner definitive. We would have understood a temporary change in functions, due to the temporary absence of our secretary, but this is not the case. Furthermore, precisely because of the union functions and protections, we believe that the management should have spoken to the union, which it did not do. We would not like to consider the hypothesis that all this translates into a real attack on the union.”
“We have concerned the regional administrator about the issue – conclude Durante and Ciccone – and we are waiting for answers. We also have transmitted The documents to our lawyerto evaluate the issue from legal point of view and prepare any appeals. In the meantime, we ask the Central Administration to send an inspection to the Cosenza prison, given the many critical issues that have been reported to us and that we ourselves have highlighted for months now, even after a visit to the facility, with a letter of over two pages , sent to the top management of the Administration”.
