Vodafone Italy towards the cut of a thousand jobs, the telecoms in pain – Corriere.it

The alarm came from the trade unions of the sector: Vodafone Italia, we read in the press releases signed by Fistel Cisl and Slc Cgil, will present the company situation on Monday 13 March and a cost reorganization plan which is equivalent to around 1,000 staff surpluses.

Practically about 20% of the workforce of the telecommunications group. Contraction in tariffs caused by exasperated competitiveness, lack of industrial vision for a sector that in the rest of Europe continues to be an activator of the digital transition are the reasons put on paper by the union acronyms that speak of a wrong model of the telecommunications sector, a a sector that feels abandoned by the world of politics, despite the announcements made in January by the minister of enterprises and made in Italy, Adolfo Urso on the reduction of VAT for companies.

Vodafone is not commenting on the news at the momenta, pending the official opening of the negotiating table at Unindustria in Rome. In the last ten years, the group has seen its workforce halved, from 11 thousand to 5.5 thousand units, in a context of general contraction in sector revenues, no longer able to finance itself.
