Alitalia, here's the plan for 2,171 redundancies. Only a month to get the … – The Messenger

The timing of the “tough choices” heralded by James Hogan comes immediately to Alitalia. Because one of the most painful passages of restructuring the company commissioned by Etihad will be that of managing the 2,171 redundancies (for 1,590 employees of the earth, 126 pilots and 420 flight attendants, in addition to the 35 employees of the land of AirOne). In fact, the stopwatch is already taken since Friday on the day of the wedding toast between Alitalia and Etihad was also signed the agreement on the voluntary mobility for employees made redundant, in fact.

DOOR CLOSE
 The workers who want to leave the company, including pilots, flight attendants and ground staff in the face of an incentive of € 10,000 gross, they will have to know by 10 September next. Yes, because the plan will start five days later, on September 15. At which time they will leave the letters of dismissal. Of course, explain to union sources, the agreement on mobility will also cover workers who will reach retirement eligibility over the period of mobility. Not many in fact, as many retirements were already taken with the plan of Cai The first phase in 2008 on a voluntary basis, makes it impossible to know right now how many will join. But according to terms of the agreement, voluntarily or not, will have to be reached the threshold of 980 employees in mobility which will be offered a contract for relocation under the new model required by the Stability Law approved by the government Letta.

This scheme works: the voluntary redundancy scheme provides 80% of your salary and will be 12 months for those under 40 years of age, 24 months for those with between 40 and 50 years and 36 months over 50 years. But with the agreement on Friday, also signed by CGIL, you change the Fund extraordinary for air transport (the one that guarantees a salary of up to 80%).

DOUBLE SIGNED
 In detail, then, is a double agreement signed Friday that the Ministry of Labour. The first signed by the ministry, Assaereo and unions, allows you to extend by two years the period of mobility, compared to what the law requires 223 That through the issuing of a decree, which will transform the Fund extraordinary aviation, funded by 3 euro per ticket and a contribution of 0.50%, of which 0.375% paid by the employer and the 0.125% paid by the employee, in a solidarity fund that will extend for two years the mobility.

The second agreement signed at company level (ie, in the first step required by law 223) by the company and the unions opens, as mentioned above, the first phase of mobility that affect primarily workers who decide to leave on a voluntary basis with the ‘incentive and workers who accrue the retirement age over the period of mobility. This agreement was also signed by the FILT-CGIL, which, however, has not signed the Framework Agreement on redundancies on July 12, since it is based on the voluntariness of the worker.

Also in this first phase, always refer to the unions, will leave a notice within the company for the relocation of more than 200 workers in the ground, after the dismissal and re-engagement with a new contract of employment. For the rest, layoffs real snap to September. And the other 1,021 redundancies? Will be relocated within the company and partly outsourced. But for many of them you can also open the way to Abu Dhabi. Hogan is determined to keep his word.
