“After 9 months of negotiations, the agreement has been concluded with Alstom Italia, the multinational in the railway sector with a significant presence in Italy. Training, welfare, safety culture and salary increases: these are the main contents”. This is what can be read in a note by Marco Bentivogli, of the general secretary of Fim Cisl.
"The Alstom Coordination and Fim, Fiom and Uilm have reached a hypothesis of a second level agreement - continues the note - which concerns around 3.000 workers in Italy, at the sites of Sesto San Giovanni, Bologna, Savigliano, Lecco, Florence, Rome and Bari".
Below are the main contents of the agreement.
TRAINING
Strengthened commitment on the right to training, with a strong proactive role of the union representatives on industry 4.0 issues useful for improving laboratory skills and company competitiveness. A national commission and the site commissions will verify the involvement of all workers in the training process, in particular by analyzing the critical professions and preventing the turnover of these professions in the company with recourse to the pool of atypical workers already employed
WELFARE
Welfare treatments have been reformed for the Sesto and Savigliano plants, providing for the disbursement of 40 and 100 euros per year for those with family members. Furthermore, for all sites, the disbursement of €50 per year is envisaged for the duration of the agreement.
SECURITY
In order to increase the culture of safety in the company, one hour of workshops is introduced a year, aimed at all employees. The workshop will be promoted jointly by RLS and RSPP.
SALARY INCREASES
The agreement started a process of bringing the results bonus amounts closer together, which were significantly different between the sites, making a choice of solidarity between workers in favor of those with lower bonus amounts. The increases, over the three-year period, will vary between 150 and 300 euros when fully operational. The function allowance of 165 euros per month was also introduced for workers employed at the seventh level.
