The dismissal procedure opened on 13 May by Almaviva Contact ended in the worst way: with a failure to agreement. The company will proceed with the dismissal of 489 workers and workers, 27 in Milan, 12 at the Rome office, 44 in Naples 17 in Cosenza, 277 in Palermo and 112 at the Catania headquarters.
This was reported by the SLC CGIL explaining that the breakdown is due “only and exclusively to the closures of Almaviva who, starting from January and for the whole duration of the negotiation, has supported its unavailability to extend the layoffs beyond 31 July – a possibility contemplated by the new rules – complaining about the inconsistency of redevelopment and relocation projects presented by the regions involved by the exubries declared. Yet – the unions continue – the Sicily Region, albeit in a monstrous delay compared to the commitments made with the agreement signed in the Ministry of Labor in January, presented projects both in the number 116-117, of the Regional Health Department and on digitization courses, to be carried out this year, which could have led to a potential redevelopment of about 50% of the Sicilian workforce “.
Almaviva Contact «ignored the projects presented and continued to declare itself unavailable to extend the layoffs. Until the theater blow last night. At the expiry of the 75 days provided for by the procedure for layoffs, Almaviva finally opened to the possibility of granting an extension of the social amount for an additional 4 months, however, on condition that the union simultaneously signed the forced dismissal of all workers starting from November 30, 2025. All this in function of a possible relocation of about 50% of Sicilian workers, without guarantees and without understanding with what criteria would have been chosen with who would have been relocated with who would have been relocated and No. A blackmail to the union in full “Almavivian” style, the most classic exploitation on the skin of workers and workers. Once again Almaviva becomes the protagonist of layoffs, after having distinguished itself for one of the greatest collective layoffs that our country has ever undergone: 1666 employees of the Rome office in 2016 ».
So, the unions continue, «SLC CGIL, FISTEL CISL, UILCOM UIL, UGL Telecomunications have rejected the blackmail from the company. It is not derogated from a principle sanctioned in years of history in exchange for an exodus incentive head, equal to the amount due by the company for Ticket Naspi in case of non -agreement, at the end of an additional 4 months of layoffs. Furthermore, the proposed agreement would have provided for a conciliation with which, in a tombstone, the professional history of each of the 489 workers under the same procedure would have failed “. “You do not try Almaviva to download the faults on the union, rather its enormous part of responsibility is assumed – says Daniele Carchidi, of SLC CGIL – The workers and Almaviva workers know who opened the dismissal procedure and are aware, as direct victims, of the impact on their lives of Almaviva’s decisions. The confederal union will not agree to be the scapegoat for errors of corporate management or choices, late or missing, by politics at all levels ».
