Tcctp Vision Statement

"Turns exhausting and zero protection." Protest of the employees of Cft.


Scandicci.
great concern among the workers of the warehouse Unicoop , 80% immigrants
"Before the accident occurred once every 15 years, are now often"

shifts of exhausting tell you do get altered in the evening, with the power to go to bed are some of the workers in the goods distribution center Unicoop Florence, employees Cft (Cooperative Florentine transport), which since 2005 has been contracted out the entire afternoon session and night warehouse Scandicci. "It comes at lunchtime - a worker who says call Pablo - but you never know what time you go out. "

Their colleagues in the morning shift, employees Unicoop in this case, upon their arrival are still the message on display of forklifts, "tonight you will be away at 10," "to 11" or "midnight" as needed (the afternoon session should end at 21).

Over Christmas tell that he stopped in some cases only 2 am. A cause of major concern among workers Cft (for the vast majority, as much as 80%, non-EU), are in any way the terms and conditions that lead, in their view, a strong impact in safety at work are required to transfer at least 130 packages per hour (the packaging of goods to be placed on the forklift ) and only above this threshold triggered the production of premium highly coveted by those who has a wife and children to support. Their colleagues in the morning, employees Coop are required 114 hours packages (even if they can carry an average of only 106 packages times). To arrive at an altitude of 130 packages are told crazy scenes: forklifts raised to maximum in order to drag the ground twice as many packages, driven forward rather than lateral as required by regulations 626; signs ignored by all the ground battles with between forklifts almost on the agenda and passed by an accident every 15 years at a monthly frequency: the last to see the victim as a Nigerian man whose left foot is crushed by the forklift .

All without ever a complaint union: the last meeting (except for that momotematica on TFR) was beyond measure to two and half years ago, workers Cft their part have no great desire to be to claim: the contract of employment is tantamount to a residence permit.

"For Cft - says an employee - I worked in many stores to other supermarket chains, but never have been made to turn so exhausting. "Among workers in the warehouse of S candicci is still well remembered by the memory of their fellow Peruvian, in his early twenties, the victim in a summer night in 2005 of a strange car accident : just come from work, crashed on a Montelupo Baccio from his moped against with half coming from the opposite direction from his family back to Peru wrapped in a coffin. Among workers Cft , the decision is unanimous: "victim of fatigue."

payroll "lighter" for employees under contract
The comparison
Unicoop The reasons that led to contract the afternoon shift and night warehouse Scandicci are easily explained: paycheck in hand, an employee of the Coop goods distribution center receives an average of 1,246 € net per month for working 36 hours per week, with two rest days a week. A worker Cft, stops at 809 € a month for 40 hours weekly basis, with only one day of rest. Furthermore, the first entitled to paid sick leave, for the latter the first three days of absence are free.
