Redundancies: unions for the strike, Abi ready to deal – Il Sole 24 Ore

Trade unions of bank on a war footing, with the threat of a general strike. Triggering the unions were the words of the prime minister, Matteo Renzi, on the need to halve in fact the number of bank within ten years. But from Palazzo Chigi it is emphasized that there is no possibility of this type. The Government, explain sources of Palazzo Chigi, “it arises rather the goal of reducing them redundant board of directors and the board of directors chairs, the role of politics in banks, superconsulenze. He does not want to halve the bank. ”

“It is completely untrue that the government think of a ten-year plan to halve the bank staff. As far as we are concerned the reorganization of the sector must start from the simplification of the governing bodies’ underlines the Economy Undersecretary, Pier Paolo Baretta.

So, to Palazzo Chigi there would be on the table only a maleintesa statement. In any case, the Abi – said Eliano Omar Lodesani, President union Affairs Committee – “is ready to sit down immediately with the Government and the sectoral trade unions to work constructively to build a new social contract.”

the note of the unions, previous to the Palazzo Chigi clarification, it was tough: “the statement of the President of Renzi Council about the need to reduce, in 10 years, 150,000 bank workers (15,000 per year say), the number of employees in the banking sector, deserves only one answer: the general strike. ” So in a joint statement by the General Secretaries of Fabi, First-Cisl, Cgil Fisac, Sinfub, UGL Credito, Uilca, Unisin. If the Chairman of the Board, Matteo Renzi, “not immediately convene the social partners will start a confrontation and a total mobilization by the credit union for the defense of jobs and the professional dignity of workers,” underline the unions. The prime minister “before making these statements, which risk destabilizing the entire industry, had an obligation to consult the social partners (trade unions and Abi) and make assessments of opportunity.” Unions remind the prime minister, “that his predecessor (Romano Prodi) at the end of the 90 in front of the first signs of the banking crisis summoned a table at Palazzo Chigi with the social partners and from there sprang solutions that still have a valid for the sector and serve as social safety nets at no cost to the community. We invite the Prime Minister to speak less and to study a bit ‘more parliamentary records and tax and social security instruments. ”

A throw water on the fire is the chairman of Intesa Sanpaolo, Gian Maria Gros-Pietro: “The hypothesis that in 10 years the employees of the banks will be halved seems very strong. There is a technological change, but there is room to perform new functions, to provide new services to our customers who also require greater professionalism. ”
