Vodafone to cut a thousand jobs in Italy
[ad_1]
The first meeting will be held at the beginning of the week in the plenary at Unindustria in Rome. Meanwhile, however, the TLC sector unions have put pen to paper what will happen in Vodafone: “On March 13, Vodafone will present the company situation to the union and a plan to reorganize costs which is equivalent to around 1,000 redundancies”.
A cut of “almost 20% of the workforce” received with concern and also with very critical tones, obviously by the trade unions as stated in the mirrored communiqués of Fistel Cisl and Slc Cgil: “We are evidently faced with the umpteenth demonstration of a model wrong for the telecommunications sector. Rate reduction caused by exaggerated competitiveness, lack of industrial vision for a sector that continues to be an activator of the digital transition in the rest of Europe”.
«For several years – the notes continue – we have set up a work in this company which, starting from the negotiation in advance, has allowed a non-traumatic management of a difficult phase, starting above all from the concept of retraining workers in the face of a phase of profound change technological. For us there is no room, in this company as in the rest of the sector, for different choices than what has been done up to now. Evidently, however, it is time to also open a reasoning on the whole sector, from managers starting with Tim passing through network procurement and outsourced customers. A sector that in Europe still manages to reconcile employment capacity and quality of work is declining here exponentially year over year.
«Like Fistel Cisl – comments Alessandro Faraoni, national general secretary – we have raised all our concerns on the employment issue. Furthermore, we are also worried about a strong weight loss of a leading company in the sector which suggests dark clouds on the horizon over the willingness to invest in Italy for the future. Finally – the union leader comments – there is also the risk of an impoverishment of know-how in terms of professionalism in the case of such numerous departures».
