The Constitutional Court upholds Fiom's appeal on trade union representation and judges article 19 of the Workers' Statute to be illegitimate, where it excludes non-signatory acronyms from the RSA, a rule applied by Fiat to exclude Fiom CGIL from the factories.
The Consulta “declared the constitutional illegitimacy of article 19, 1st c. lit. b) of Law 20 of 1970 May 300 ("Workers' Statute") - reads a note - in the part in which it does not provide that the company union representation is also set up in the context of union associations which, while not signing contracts collective applied in the production unit, have in any case participated in the negotiation relating to the same contracts as representatives of the company's workers”.
Against Lingotto's decision not to recognize its representatives, Fiom has presented dozens of appeals in all the courts of the territories in which there is a presence of Fiat. The initiative had so far led to a series of contradictory rulings, partly in favor of the union and partly in favor of the company.
