Immediate crisis table requested from the ministry regarding their dispute
Around two hundred employees of the Crotone office of Abramo Customer Care gathered in a permanent assembly in the municipal council chamber to ask the Ministry of Business to immediately convene a crisis table on their dispute in which more than a thousand jobs are at risk. I work throughout Calabria.
After the protests of recent days, the meetings at the ministry and the Calabria Region, in view of the expiration of the Tim order on June 30th, without certainties about the sale of a company branch, without insurance from the institutions, the workers see more and more the specter of dismissal is close.
For this reason they decided to meet in a permanent assembly in the hall to ask that Calabrian politics and parliamentarians take action to protect work.
Also at the meeting are the children of couples who work in the company and for whom losing their jobs is a nightmare.
“If politics is not capable of organizing and finding solutions, if it is not capable of protecting us – said one of the front end operators – let them go home because we are going home too and we are going to eat at the minister’s house if you don’t find a solution.
We don’t want welfare, we don’t want layoffs. We want jobs.”
In recent days, following a meeting between unions and the ministry, the one-month extension of the Tim contract was announced. “We will stay here – adds one of the team leaders – until we have answers. Let us know if this renewal actually exists, if we are working, as has been said, to find a solution and above all that the ministerial table be convened for the Abraham dispute alone, because today we are almost at June 30th and it is not This table was never convened and it’s a bit scandalous because for other, much smaller disputes, whatever was done was done.”
The mayor of Crotone Vincenzo Voce also brought the solidarity of the Administration. “These women and these men – he said – do not want welfare. They want to work.
Today they raise the level of attention, rightly so. I have put this matter at the top of the list of problems even if the Administration does not have the skills to resolve it.
This month’s extension that was announced serves to put the cards on the table: governor Occhiuto is working: there are a couple of projects in the field, it takes some time, and Tim must understand that while waiting for these to materialize projects, continuity must be given to everything.”
