They did five in the morning but they didn't have fun at all since the contractual future of 309 thousand was at stake banking. With the trap of the disapplication of the contract ready to liquidate months of union struggles here comes thehypothesis of agreement on the renewal of the bank contract. Now the text on which agreement was reached it will be brought to the attention of the ABI executive committee and the meetings that the unions will convene in the coming weeks. There are 90 days to put everything in black and white but most of it has been done.
ABI the effort was considerable but in the note spread by Altieri Palace it is underlined that the hypothesis of an agreement obtained during the night is of great importance for the balance of the banking system: "For ABI it is an important result and an adequate response to reconcile the professional and employment interests of the workers with the needs of stability and balance of Italian banks in the face of a macroeconomic context that is weighing and will weigh in the long term on profitability levels, asset quality and revenue margins. The agreement paves the way for a series of solutions useful for continuing to deal with the changes taking place in the banking sector relating to the rationalization of production, organizational processes and distribution structures, the evolution of customer behaviour, technological innovations and the profound regulatory and supervisory changes”.
He doesn't hide his satisfaction Lando Maria Sileoni, Secretary General Fabi, who, after a year and a half of negotiations can announce that “i banking they finally have their own national contract“. The secretary Fabi underlines the importance of reaching the agreement at the photo finish because “in this way the possible disapplication of the contract itself was averted, which would have created enormous problems for the workers, leaving them without protection. With the agreement signed this morning at five o'clock, the contractual area has been maintained and defended, the classifications have been enhanced, avoiding a reform of the same which would have created considerable inconvenience and problems”.
For Giulio Romani, secretary of Fiba Cisl "it is a contract not without sacrifices unfortunately inevitable in this economic situation, but it is also a contract that protects the workers' wages and leaves unchanged all the protections guaranteed by the previous contract, relating to the contractual area, professional profiles and seniority increases ”.
