Update on business in May 2009
Unfortunately I have not had much time to update the blog in recent months, trying to recover.
Situation of volumes of production has gradually deteriorated because of the global crisis that impacts very strongly on the industry, particularly that of the car and consequently on the components.
We continued with routine layoffs even during the first half of the year, extending from time to time until ad'arrivare the month of May.
There have been numerous collective of the factory closures on weekends and January were included in layoffs also indirect workers.
rotation, which was due in layoffs among the workers was affected by further lowering the volume of work, complicating its management, the maximum number of people in temporary layoffs expected at the time was not enough and we arrived, as I said, to close collective.
In some cases we have encountered some "anomalies" in the management of the rotation by the company, which we have sought to remedy, but this has not greatly improved the situation, especially in the department most affected (Ford). It remains to this point of view, even a situation of discomfort even on the line of the form port that is linked to production such as Fiat's Pomigliano.
In fact, in last meetings with the company we have dealt mainly with this . Good news is, in a negative scenario like the present: the arrival of two new molding presses (which has already been made official) and the likely arrival of a new job in the workshop: a component, the latter would give a breath of fresh air. For this morning's meeting we aimed to convince the company (we) that the arrival of this line will serve to make workers work harder for Ford . This does not necessarily mean that these workers will to move along those lines, but in any case it will free people to use to make it less heavy layoffs had improved rotation Until today in that department.
As for the port workers in the form we have asked the company to make the movements along the line dell'Mlatch. The situation of indirect
seems more difficult for the rotation, in fact we are aiming to relocate to other areas of work in accordance with the professional characteristics of these workers.
But we have other issues to be addressed including one of the most important is what we are about to finish the layoffs ordinary. Unfortunately ad'oggi the government has done little or nothing to provide answers to such problems.
There was a change in the INPS circular with respect to the calculation method of temporary layoffs (which goes from weeks to days) but this does not bring great benefits especially to companies like ours has made extensive use of cash, but paradoxically the companies that have less cash will gain more benefit.
also has added a new reason (for the global crisis) for the special request of the layoffs that apparently does not provide redundancy of having to specify to eject at the end of the period. We must say that the total duration of social safety nets remains the same, whereas to be sure to overcome the crisis without end up with the redundancy we need more time . In fact, it is expected that during 2009 the volume of work will remain at current levels, there may be signs of recovery in 2010.
why they are right to "the demands of Fiom ad'ottenere double the normal layoff 52 to 104 weeks.
also why event was organized on 16 May in Turin . In addition, the Fiom proposes a return to old treatment of layoffs that included 80% of the actual salary (eliminating the ceiling) and a desk review / Fiat / Fiat to Government on the industrial level to try to understand what are your intentions regarding the future of Fiat's Italian plants, on which there are still no certainties.
We will meet soon with the company to take stock of the situation, then probably we will be in meeting with workers to assess the scenario we have before.
