“TIM’s decision to sell Telecontact to a new company, DNA Srl, opens up scenarios of great uncertainty for hundreds of Calabrian workers. We are talking about around 400 families who risk seeing their employment future compromised and, consequently, their life plan”. This was stated in a note by regional councilor Ernesto Alecci.
“These people – Alecci recalled – have been working in TIM for more than twenty years and some have personally expressed to me all their concern in the face of a future that is, to say the least, difficult to understand and accept. Going from a structured and well-known spa to a small company just created with 10,000 euros of share capital is certainly a leap in the dark that would frighten anyone, especially those in our region who have started a family, bought a house with a thousand sacrifices and installments to pay, and know the difficulties of getting back into business I play in a decidedly static and difficult job market”.
Hence Alecci’s appeal: “The Region must do its part and protect these workers. In this regard I have already prepared a question which I will present immediately, in the next few days, to the re-elected President of the Regional Council, Roberto Occhiuto, to find out what actions the Calabria Region intends to undertake to protect workers and guarantee production continuity, bringing the dispute to the ministerial tables where the decisive match will be played. The “Telecontact dossier” must necessarily be one of the first on the table of the new Council that is about to be appointed, trying at all costs to stop the ongoing process or by finding safer alternative solutions, through discussions with more solid and reliable business entities. In this regard, it is my intention to involve the national parliamentarians of the Democratic Party in the dispute so that the Government does not remain deaf to this social emergency. Calabria deserves serious industrial policies, not operations that risk further desertifying our productive fabric.
