WE RECEIVE AND PUBLISH Filcams CGIL Ticino Olona declares the permanent strike of the employees of the warehouse/logistics sector of Giuseppe Tirinnanzi Spa of Legnano, a historic commercial reality in the area. We have been involved in the matter since 3 June 2024, the date on which the 15 employees of the Company’s warehouse were informed of their imminent transfer (starting from 15 June 2024) to a warehouse located in Telgate (BG), in following a ‘presumed’ transfer of a business branch established by the Company Management.
We immediately expressed our desire to open a trade union discussion with the Company and on 7 June a first meeting took place during which we expressly asked the company to identify alternative solutions to the transfer of the Branch to the Columbus Srl Company, which relies on the Logicoop consortium, which, in turn, contracts the activities to Alma Log which manages several warehouses located, among others, also in Lainate and Arese. However, Tirinnanzi Spa reiterated its desire to continue with the questionable corporate operation, motivating it with the unsuitability of the current spaces of the Legnanese factory used for warehouse use and proposing an early retirement incentive equal to 3 gross monthly salaries and an “outplacement” service of 12 months for those who are not interested in undergoing the aforementioned transfer more than 85 km away, an offer which we believe is detrimental to the dignity of the workers who for years have contributed to the well-being of the company which to this day appears to be in ” health”, with a positive balance sheet and strong growth prospects.
It is clear that the workers involved, together with Filcams CGIL, do not consider it feasible in any way to transfer to an office located at such a distance, which can also be reached via an extremely busy road junction and with exhausting travel times. More than half of the 15 employees involved have more than 30 years of service at Tirinnanzi SpaFurthermore, there are single-income workers with dependent family members and others who would be denied access to a pension. Inevitably the “solutions” identified by the Company appear, in light of this, incomprehensible, unreasonable and certainly not dignified. The discussion between Filcams and the company management continued yesterday.
We have once again requested the maintenance of employment levels also considering a transfer at reasonable distances, but unfortunately the Company’s position has remained unchanged, adding the impossibility of relying on other warehouses located in the surrounding areas as they are already saturated and reiterating the destination of Telgate, a prospect which remains impracticable and unacceptable for us. Faced with the situation described and following the state of unrest announced on 6 June, Filcams CGIL Ticino Olona declares a permanent strike. We will stand alongside the workers and families involved, implementing every fighting action in order to protect their jobs and their dignity.
