Good news for Leonardo's workers who in January will find themselves paying 360 euros more than a one-off payment and for which important news regarding salaries are on the way.
The company led by Alessandro perfume has signed the agreement of the supplementary contract with the unions. This was announced by the secretary general of Uilm, Rocco Palombella, who explains: "The renewal of the economic part constitutes an important element and establishes the principle of redistribution to workers of a part of the income produced".
The agreement provides an increase in average wages of 850 euros on the performance bonus and another 400 euros on the collective superminimum. As said in January, "the workers will receive a one-off payment of 360 euros for the year 2019".
The agreement, explains Palombella, establishes percentage increases linked to even individual objectives for high professionalism, "de facto establishing the recognition of full contractual representation also for these figures".
“It is an important milestone that must not interrupt the negotiation phase, as they remain industrial developments still to be clarified that the Group wants to pursue and for which Uilm wants to be an interlocutor and not a mere spectator. Only through the participation of all workers – he concluded – will it be possible to achieve the results of sustainable growth, expected by the industrial plan launched by Leonardo's CEO”.
"The negotiation for the renewal of Leonardo's second-level contract has seen an important milestone reached," said Marco Bentivogli, general secretary of the Fim Cisl. “In view of the achievement of the objectives of increases in profitability and productivity, Leonardo employees will receive an increase in the performance bonus of 2021 euros when fully operational (450), bringing its value up to 6.650 euros in the helicopter division. The increases in productivity, especially in the production plants, will also be able to derive from the improvements in the production processes that will derive from the application of LPS (Leonardo production system), the work organization methodology deriving from the WCM (which was applied in FCA) which is introducing starting from the areas of production, in the whole company”, he added”.
