Intesa Sanpaolo’s battle over wages marks the end of banking associations

The opening of the managing director of the Turin bank, Carlo Messina, to the salary increase finds the reply of the CEO of Bper and of the number one of Unicredit, Andrea Orcel, who defends his adhesion to the Casl-Abi. But now the Association no longer exists

The opening of the managing director of Intesa Sanpaolo, Carlo Messina, has generated some embarrassment among the other banks employee salary increases demanded by unions (“With 7 billion in net profits I won’t start negotiating for 400 euros”). If the immediate response of the CEO of Bper, Piero Montani, was partly ironic (“Do you want me to say something against Carlo Messina?”) and partly serious (“I am convinced that the renewal of the contract will close soon and well” and “the economic aspect is not the most important, we also think about the well-being of the workers”), the number one of Unicredit, Andrea Orcel, was more cold in defending his adhesion to the Casl-Abi from which, instead , Intesa left when it decided to carry out union negotiations independently.
