CAMPOBASSO – Today, in the Molise Region assembly, an important phase of the
negotiations relating to the Vibac dispute in Termoli. After a long dispute that has lasted
for several years now, it has been signed with the relevant Department, with the technicians of the
Region and with the company representatives an important result that will give further space to
possible and desirable future scenarios. This is supported by Femca CISL, Uiltec UIL Confail and RSA Vibac
“Even though this path has never given space to moments of joy, even though the situation is always
very worrying, we have guaranteed, with the framework agreement signed by the Councillor for
Productive Activities, from the Councilor for Labor, from the Director of Employment Policies,
by the Trade Union Organizations femca, uiltec and confail, and by Vibac, with the support of the technicians
Regional, the guarantee that this industrial plant does not fall below 80 units
working.
We have blocked the dismissal procedure which, otherwise, would have been
materialized by next July 10th, we have simultaneously opened a redundancy procedure
on non-opposition, therefore volunteers, who will be supported with an incentive to leave.
We have also opened a new opportunity to access a further 6 months of CIGS, this for
to allow the Vibac company to fill the Termoli plant with new orders.
We have also assured the Termoli workers that they will have coverage
periodic checks, the first now within the month of July, by MIMIT.
It remains a regret, in relation to what was declared by the company, that this site
productive, at the end of the CIGS, will mature a quantity of redundancies that they cannot re-employ,
reason why we tried to identify workers who, with incentives to leave, with
the social safety net and with the NASPI, they can be linked to the pension.
At the same time, all this can also be a preparatory step to activate the GOL project which
the region will set up training, relocation and self-employment, with the same
aim of re-employing the greatest number of people.
As we have always maintained from the very beginning, we cannot jump for joy until we
they will be redundancies but, all things considered, we believe, taking into account the dramatic moments that have occurred
involved the workers of Vibac and, taking into account that about 3 years ago this company had started
with a declaration of redundancy such as to suggest the closure of the plant, of having
brought home, as things stand, the best possible solution for the workers.”
