The collective dismissal procedure in Air Italy restarts. After the extension of the redundancy fund, the liquidators are now looking at the date of termination of the company as at 31 December 2021, when the six-month extension of the cig will expire for all permanent employees operating in Olbia, Malpensa, Linate, Fiumicino, Naples and Florence. 1,322 people are involved, including six executives.
The news emerges from today's meeting between the company and the unions, the first dismissal procedure of the company was opened on March 3, 2020 and interrupted in July following the extension of the Cig.
The last planes were returned in early September, the company therefore concluded all the activities planned for the liquidation by selling all the movable assets. For this reason, only the employment issue remains to be resolved, therefore firing the workers who in March 2020 were 1,453 and then, as a result of retirements or resignations, have become 1,322.
The dismissal procedure has been "returned to the sender" by all the unions, which are waiting for it to be delivered through official channels.
The general secretary of Filt Cgil Sardegna Arnaldo Boeddu asks "that the 1,322 workers still in force have the same opportunities and the same treatment as their Alitalia colleagues. It would be paradoxical if the former were fired while the latter were given additional
possibility".
"It is understood - he adds - that in this whole dispute there was no real contribution from the policy that should have facilitated an industrial solution".
“In all this lapse of time - asks the trade unionist - have national and regional institutions made themselves heard with the liquidators of the company?”.
