The three-way negotiation between the Government, Alitalia and the unions continues to try to resolve the crisis of the airline by limiting the repercussions on personnel as much as possible.
The Ministry of Labor led by Giuliano Poletti presented today a proposal under which 1.300 redundant Alitalia workers they could go against two years of extraordinary layoffs and two years of Naspi.
This was reported by the unions during a break at the discussion table, resumed at 14 pm. On these numbers, INPS has already expressed the sustainability of the accounts.
The package of social shock absorbers envisaged by the Government to protect Alitalia's workers could then be implemented by the company with incentives that favor voluntary exit.
Based on the first reactions, however, the hypothesis put forward by the Ministry of Labor seems destined to clash with the union wall. According to Giancarlo Serafini of Uiltrasporti, the proposal would envisage “an expulsion process for workers, that is, exactly the opposite of what we are asking for. None of us are willing to sign a single layoff." "It was explained to us that this scenario would be sustainable," added the trade unionist.
In this context, the Minister of Transport also expressed his opinion on the Alitalia issue this morning Graziano Delrio: “This morning I met Montezemolo and Gubitosi to discuss how the industrial plan should be a little more courageous in relaunching. We discussed how to strengthen investments because it is clear that it is an important plan that allows Alitalia to live, but then we must also win the challenge".
“The government – assured the minister – will field everything it has at its disposal to accompany the company's relaunch. There is no doubt".
As regards the possible greater disbursement by the shareholders, Delrio specified that “for now we welcome the fact that we have decided to continue investing money, there may be adjustments within the financial plan. We are discussing this."
