CROTONE – An open municipal council to discuss the Abramo Customer Care dispute – now in its final stages – was convened on the afternoon of May 22nd. The extension of the Tim contract is scheduled to expire on June 30th and no buyer is interested in taking over the company placed under administration. Numerous workers from the Crotone headquarters participated in the council, representing the company at their best and with great dignity. In fact, the workers grit their teeth and continue to beat their fists because, despite the fear of losing everything, they have no intention of giving up. In this regard, local institutions have always supported Abramo employees, from the Municipality of Crotone, to the Provincial body together with the municipalities of the Crotone area, aware that they cannot decide their working fate but that they still have an institutional weight, and therefore , to be able to expect certain answers from Tim, around a ministerial table. In fact, the proposal did not take long to arrive President of the Province Sergio Ferrari – accepted by the entire municipal council – to decide on the request to the Prefect of Catanzaro, already tomorrow morning, to sit at a technical table with Tim. “The solution cannot be in the hands of Governor Occhiuto, the union, the Provincial Authority or the municipalities – declares Ferrari -. So what should we do? There is no doubt that there is no time to waste, so I want to be concrete, as some of the workers rightly asked, and I want to make a proposal. I propose to this Council to decide, tomorrow morning, on an urgent request for a table in the Prefecture in Catanzaro, which is the prefect of all prefects, in the presence of the Governor, the trade unions and workers and local institutions and with Tim. A table that we must obtain immediately – he asserts -. It’s clear that June 30th is upon us but I believe that we have the sacred duty to ask for the technical table and do it tomorrow morning”. For the mayor of Crotone Vincenzo Voce there is “an urgency to speak to Tim because the workers belong to a company that is a state-owned company – he explains -. It takes commitment from everyone so that every job is saved”. Also present at the meeting were mayor of Catanzaro, Nicola FioritaThe mayor of Cutro Antonio CerasoThe mayor of Rocca di Neto, Alfonso DattoloThe mayor Raffaele Falbo of Melissa, all the councilors and councilors and the regional trade unions.
