Friday, September 12, 2008 we met with the company Livorno industrial association, was present throughout the RSU: 5 delegates FIOM, FIM 2 delegates, one delegate cobas, missing only the delegate of Uilm (no justification).
addition to MSW was attended by provincial secretaries fim Fiom Uilm.
The company at that time gave us the picture I'm trying to bring summarizing:
the situation in the volume of work is not good due to an overall downturn in sales that occurs in the customer's requests, always more scarce, and this overlaps the end of the contract on the Ford Fiesta, and no negative impact on Ford products that continue to make on our assembly lines (commercial, Fusion).
Regarding Fiat are still scheduled stops of the customer, but can not be excluded that the situation will change for the worse and this could have a negative impact on us. The Audi customer for hours and not one problem, on the contrary have increased a bit 'volumes, making, at the moment, need the third round. This raises the
9.12 a momentary excess of 60 direct workers, until the end of December, which, they told us on that date, could reach 100 units, a number that could vary on the basis of ' market trend. The company wanted to proceed
very quickly, compared with the situation, immediately opening a regular income assistance, in the way (they say) easier: take the number of workers needed and put them at home so continued until December 31.
We, of course, now we have rejected this approach in a compact manner, arguing that the high versatility inside the assembly department, allowed, even with an organizational effort by the company to carry out a rotation that would give way to reduce as much as possible, the economic loss in salary, but also to safeguard the maturation of accrued (vacation, par, performance bonuses, thirteenth), while maintaining time the high levels of quality that we contraddistiungono.
It was not easy, the meeting lasted all day Friday, but after several attempts, we managed to bring the company over our positions.
We were able therefore to bind the company to manage its temporary layoffs is very different from what he thought of adottare.Rimanevano concerns about the market trend, in fact we had also planned meetings of verification. Monday, 15/09
the solid and has held meetings to inform workers of the situation that has presented us with the company, and the time of difficulties to face in the coming months, to some extent the difficulties that are also affecting other plants, especially in our industry.
During the assessment meetings that have been in the weeks after 12 / 9, unfortunately we found that the situation has worsened , just as had been feared.
stops Fiat reviews continue, in some cases longer.
Unfortunately, the decline in Seat committed led to the suspension, as of 13/10, the third round at Audi, which had begun to do just that and gave us a "breath of fresh air."
All this has created a situation even worse than the negative that we had already proposed the company, bringing the number of redundancies to 175 about, but with a maximum of 300 workers expected in case the worst should occur, provided the company's commitment to continue the rotation until it is technically possible and in any case, to ensure vesting of accrued even in the face of a rotation that does not allow to work more than half of the month.
remain on the agenda of the meeting reviewed and updated to keep track of customer trends. So even in our factory, like others, will face a difficult period, as they say in a downturn.
It is clear that go out at this stage, the hopes of re-entry by staff precarious boys and girls who have worked for many months with us, the first to pay, and to a greater extent for this market crisis that is superimposed on a global financial crisis.
