BolognaFiere suspend 123 layoffs – Il Sole 24 Ore

After five hours of discussions, agreement was reached last night at the table between the company and unions on the 123 redundancies announced on June 27 last year from the Fiera di Bologna. President Franco Boni has accepted a suspension sine die (against the break of a couple of weeks at most he had given the week before in front of the overheating of the clashes with the workers) against the opening of a dialogue verbalized black on white, sharing already next Friday with a series of meetings already scheduled to run from here to the end of July.

‘meetings in which we examine the guidelines of the strategic plan and will seek an agreement to solve the problems we are safeguarding employment, “he says Boni leaving the river meeting in via Michelino. He adds: “The will to avert layoffs has never lacked, what now there was not a fair comparison was like today.” But the need for restructuring is not in question, reaffirms the number one expo in front of the off-market personnel costs (revenue per employee is half compared to Rimini or Parma, in which Bologna is accelerating the steps to get to ‘integration into a single regional trade fair system). The priority of all is to put the accounts in order to deal with the recapitalization in view of the Bologna exhibition revamping plan (something like sixty million investment) to not miss EIMA, the International Fair of agricultural engineering that could FederUnacoma move to Milan in the absence of an expansion of space.

After the blitz of workers in front of the classroom of the Municipal Council, who interrupted yesterday the first post-election session of the new town meeting, and mobilization in via Michelino during the meeting yesterday, today the struggle of the trade unions continues to the Regional Council. “Workers’ rights can not be subordinated to the needs of the development of the fair,” says the mayor Virginio Merola, the largest shareholder of BolognaFiere: between the City and metropolitan city has the hand over 24% of the capital.
