New employee strike Ikea, this time in all 21 stores located on Italy. Despite adherence that on average, according to the unions, has reached 75-80%, the store remained open thanks to the department heads – who have not joined the strike – and the use of temporary workers by the company. This explains why the number of trade unions, the company replied with a note in which he stated that ‘all outlets have opened regularly “and, indeed,” in most of the shops membership has been little or no ” . But if the Swedish group decided to hold still open outlets, the unions have organized outside addition to the classic forms of mobilization, “imaginative initiatives that have transformed the deans of workers in small parties, with entertainment for children and music – tells the Filcams Cgil – many customers have solidarity with the striking workers, referring to another occasion the visit inside the store . ” “The strike has succeeded – explains Giulio Colecchia CISL Puglia and Basilicata – and if some store were open this was only possible thanks to the use by the company to temporary workers. Again choices Ikea refer to your production needs while ignoring the workers. put against striking workers and temporary workers is the opposite of what is needed in a time of crisis, namely careful coordination between companies and the world of work. “
The dispute
The mobilization of workers – the second in recent weeks involving 21 Italian stores – is determined by the dispute over the renewal of the supplementary contract: the company wants to reduce some items. A new table of comparison between Ikea and unions is scheduled for 22 July.
is certain is that the clash between the workers and the Swedish company so far considered a model of respect and fairness in labor relations and contract continues to escalate. The mobilization was proclaimed jointly by the trade unions, Filcams-Cgil, Cisl and Fisascat-Uiltucs-Uil, in defense of the renewal of the supplementary contract.
For triggering the clash was the decision not to renew the contract Ikea supplementary company after the last three years of financial losses due to the crisis have resulted in a deficit of over 53 million euro. The company aims to cut back or delete items that relate to the payroll increase for Sunday work and holiday – that in the days highlight in which there is a strong presence of workers part-time – and the fixed monthly amount of the company bonus. A cut that – calculates the national secretary of Cisl Fisascat Vincenzo dell’Orefice – would amount to “an economic loss of about EUR 1,500-2,000 per year for a full-time employee.” By cutting the only company bonus loss it would suffer “an employee of IV level contract with full time is about 832 EUR a year plus 400 euro cutting contributions.”
The first strike
wrecked the first negotiation talks and after a first strike, but only at the local level, positions have hardened coming to national mobilization . “Despite the bright tones of today’s event – says the company always – Ikea hopes now that the dialogue with the social partners will start on the tracks of the negotiation, that Ikea has never failed, and a confrontation marked by respect and fairness. ” And the negotiations will start again on July 22, although the unions, as the general secretary of Uil Carmelo Bargagallo continue “in the battle to defend years of achievements, also at Ikea.” Workers also raking in the “full support and solidarity” of Cisl leader, Annamaria Furlan, and the secretary of the CGIL, Susanna Camusso that relies on Twitter with the hashtag #Ikeaonstrike to say that “less rights, less salary is the strategy those `better than Italy’s job becomes more povera’.”
The location of ‘company
For Ikea, ensure’ holidays paid more than double (+ 130%) and company bonuses fixed and not linked to the objectives was possible in Italy in 2000, when He saw the light of the current supplementary contract. Not anymore: Ikea to make more solid and fair, open new stores and create more jobs need a Supplementary Agreement innovative and sustainable. ” Among the proposals, treatments “fairer” for shifts on Sundays and public holidays today, emphasizes Ikea, “differ both from store to store, that within the same store (between old and new employees),” a system that recognizes “a percentage increase linked to the growing number of appearances” and “a system of exploitation of part of variable remuneration” and “an innovative management system of shifts.”
