THE CLEAR IN DEPTH: WORKING IN & AROUND

Sunday, November 13, 2005

All Coop chain of supermarkets will start the negotiations of the Tuscan technically defined "channel". In these negotiations, which proceed shop to shop, there are two common points that most care workers: a clear rejection of contracts, and the situation of part-time. As for part-time, was carved out of the seniority list, and many workers waiting years full time find themselves in uncertainty for the future.
contracts are, however, to be the focus of protest: the company claims the right to assign sectors or entire departments to external firms that take on unskilled workers in a worse condition allowing a strong economy, so long as it does in all catenne supermarkets.
A good example to understand this phenomenon involves the Coop store in Scandicci, to whom we are already occupied. Here is an ongoing lawsuit brought by workers against the company. From this warehouse in 2001 one of three shifts, and night, is in contract to Cft, historical Florentine cooperative porterage. In January this year Coop decided to cancel the contract and in turn move from night to afternoon compressing the two rounds of its employees in one shift early, very painful and very tiring. All this without any confrontation with the representatives workers, as is stipulated in the contract of national cooperatives.
The case landed at the city council of Florence in February this year. Just the news these days is a new question, submitted by the directors Anna Nocentini, Leonardo Pieri Pierluigi Ontanetti (PRC), Ornella De Zordo (Unaltracittà) and Luca Pettini (PDCI), dissatisfied with the response of the previous voice of 'Councillor Riccardo Nencini.
the sitting of 28 February, the commissioner Nencini said that the abolition of the night shift was made necessary by the protests of a committee of citizens of the district, annoyed by the work of the warehouse clubs. "We have never seen or heard of this committee - keep the workers - and ensure that work there every day and none of the company has never mentioned this problem."
Today, after nine months, not only is still in force on the afternoon shift to outsourced Cft, but was also the night. "For this reason - says Anna Nocentini - back to ask for further explanation. I find this extremely serious situation, not just from the weight held in the Florence area, but also because the municipality undertakes with entities that qualify as careful and responsible in society. While here we return to reduction in labor costs over all. " Meanwhile, the RSU
say that the situation is even worse: "Since we submitted the dispute, the climate in the store became very heavy. There are a shift manager who put pressure on individual workers threaten to move or to deny any permit or breaks if they do not produce more. But we do not come with any share of the crop. We are already the second case of 118 workers taken away by a crisis of stress. "
In the coming days there are new assemblies to decide the forms of struggle. "Meanwhile, just ahead of the negotiations of the channel, ask the union to change its attitude: we are not interested buffers procurement, but a flat refusal. For two years the Coop attitude has changed with its employees, it is time that the union take note. "
