Unicredit, reached the agreement: 2 thousand assumptions, 3.900 voluntary redundancies – The Republic

MILAN – the Agreement made between the management of Unicredit and its bank on staff cuts: includes 2000 new hires in the face of 3,900 outputs “voluntary”. The Fabi, the union independent of the bank, has given notice of an intent in the night, in a phase more important than ever to the bank at the gates of a complex recapitalisation of € 13 billion. An operation that takes place in an indust rial plan of streamlining the group, which wants to close more than 800 branches to boost profitability. The design of the management had found the opposition of the trade unions, worried that the non-turnover does cause problems oepratività in the branches and critical of the fact that in view of the losses that emerged in the summer (which led to the launching of the maxi increase) there were relapses so heavy on employees. Lights on, instead, was found in the agreement on the redundancies, with the introduction of the criteria of the voluntary nature of the outputs and to the guarantee of turnover.

“this is an agreement, reached after a negotiation is tough, that looks to the future and enhances the workers in the light of a clear break with the past – commented Mauro Morelli, national Secretary of Fabi, and Stefano Cefaloni, Coordinator Fabi Unicredit, union bank – Today we can say that the employee and the company are betting together on the relaunch of the group. It was, in fact, rejected the initial setting of the company that pointed only to a drastic reduction of employment. We have obtained the guarantee that will be maintained the employment levels established in the plan for at least the next three years, more than 2,000 new hires, a commitment that is chargeable on commercial pressures to the protection of employees. After six years, there were also unlocked the career paths with a new agreement on the job description”.

The agreement specifically provides, therefore, 1300 new hires, 600 steady work of workers with a contract of apprenticeship and a turnover of 1 to

3 in the assumptions in the case of deaths, dismissals, or resignations that will bring the balance of the new inputs to more than 2 thousand. On the other hand, there are 3900 voluntary redundancies and incentives within the first half of 2024, that is going to add to the 6 thousand already laid down previously. In the pacts also the “balance of the company contribution on the home health group, with treatments the same for all the workers, the company bonus of 800 euro if you choose the formula for welfare, and 600 if you choose the cash – explains a note from the Fabi – definition of a new agreement on the job description, the guarantee of employment in the three years the group will not proceed to declaration of new redundancies. It was, finally, established a bilateral commission on commercial pressures with the identification of a company representative who will speak in a concrete way, on alert, in case of behaviour damaging to the professionalism and dignity of workers”.

“this Is a document that is balanced and of high social value – has declared” The Rod, as national secretary Uilca – defined with a great sense of responsibility and in awareness of the need to re-group.”
