The 29-30-31/10/2007 to Magna Guasticce elections were held for the renewal of municipal solid waste.
After a troubled phase, full of important events, both company and national level, we arrived at the renewal of the unitary trade union representation.
The novelty compared to previous renewals was the candidacy of two workers with the Cobas private work, which was presented for the first time in this company.
Application which was preceded by a dense country "disclosure" by the Cobas weekly leafleting through the gates of the Magna.
The content of the leaflets, and try to be loyal in return, was almost always focused on an attack on trade union confederations guilty of being too moderate as well as the RSU in charge considered too "indulgent" towards the company and "deaf" against the workers' demands.
also attempted to persuade us that they did not want to Ulimate fim FIOM partacipare cobas the election, which is absolutely false, as the facts show. In fact they have integrated a person in the commission election, have appointed a scrutineer, submitted their list and everything was done, as certified by the electoral commission, with full rules.
To be honest, there have been misunderstandings at the beginning we see unfolding:
In mid-September on my own initiative shared by the RSU was posted in a press bulletin where there was the need to initiate the procedure for renewal of RSU.
This is because it was outside the referendum on the renewal of the welfare CNNL so we wanted to avoid duplication. In addition, because we feared that the mandate has already expired, and it is already late because of working time, "someone" manipulated to get the thing to say we did not want the elections in order to prevent them from entering the MSW. Since we were already in the cobas leaflets called "senators for life" and "lord it" in the company, to exploit our fears were understandable.
And also the electoral commission was not yet operational.
is why the first delivery of documents by the cobas, it was not meant just to the subject (the electoral commission) is not successful, as a delegate FIOM very politely tried to explain.
But this did not help to avoid the following leaflets which you tried to make believe something different from the truth. The problems are not missed on all other procedural aspects, but finally we managed to give rise to the elections. Sorry
however, that in some flyers have made references to two delegates in particular, rather than to counter the ideas and those to be adopted instead. In those flyers
Magna has been described as a prison where there is a "dictatorship" will trample the rights and so on ... Not so much responsible for the direction, but most delegates "complacent".
write a post dedicated to prove that these allegations are not true, with such agreements signed with my participation and that of all solid and where it is clear that the reality is quite different. But I think that the vote of workers rapppresenti the best answer, because if only a quarter of what has been written against us were true we would not have even got one vote. And I especially Having been exposed to many more difficult times, sometimes taking positions "unpopular", I should not see the growing consensus towards me as it has been.
Caution I'm not saying that we do not have problems, problems in a company like ours never fail and require attention and effort, but certainly emphasizing the hardships exist, and doing (as I saw in the last cobas flyer that I can provide copies) of the election promises of more than policy proposals, the cobas may be able to catalyze a protest vote and an uneasiness that metalworkers in more than in other categories there is an inconvenience, however we must keep account.
Regarding the FIOM believe that the speech is different: for many years now we are in the majority of MSW is then up to us the task of managing all stages, even the most difficult and problematic.
One of the hardest was definitely a corporate reorganization in 2006 and not yet ended, even though that will surely run, in my opinion, the best way in given context, stemming the loss of jobs projected by the company, with a CIGS painful but gave assurances of reinstatement for all workers involved, it has caused concern, and in some cases disagreement with the work of the union.
Unfortunately when you work in spite of yourself with "smear" you can get dirty.
Much easier to stick it to the window to watch without "compromising" and then throwing accusations "who does"
From this point of view FIOM delegates were voted, not for campaign promises or to the trust may, in some cases, be appropriate to grant to those who present themselves for the first time, but I think on the contrary it was a vote in which the assessment was also included on the work of the RSU in the last three years .
why I think it is important that the FIOM in MSW has retained a majority of delegates.
It's not that we have facilitated the electoral rules, but simply because we took 58% of the vote. That leaves us in a "full" representation of the majority of the workers.
But let's get to the data (the total number of valid votes) provided by electoral commission composed of members of fim Fiom Uilm cobas in verbal notice board:
FIOM CGIL 57.7%
COBAS PRIVATE WORK 21.1%
FIM CISL 14.2 %
UILM UIL 6.8%
Personally, even if it has a relative importance, as a delegate pass by 110 votes last visit to the current 134 (about 35% of valid votes) so I can not but be satisfied, but most importantly it is clear that the meetings FIOM the consent of workers and employees.
We certainly can not crib on this result, but we must start immediately with the job because we need a continued commitment to always be able to better interpret the needs of workers, and locations most appropriate to the context in which we are to achieve the goals that we set ourselves together, without sacrificing anything of what you can do, but without false promises, down to earth and hopefully with the help of all those workers have shown to be represented.
