This story of crisis I got bored. was not there before, it was just bad luck that brought doom, then in Europe but was not us, then had already passed, then there was a little bit but we were better than all the past, then we would have passed if it was not good for Greece, and Spain as well but we do not, then ....
now no longer says that the crisis there. They realized that the economic crisis provides a useful pretext for questioning those rights that workers have earned through years and years of labor struggles. Here is the thinly disguised blackmail: if you want to work you must accept these conditions. If not close, lay off, outsource the factory. And you stay out of work. Faced with this prospect honestly how can they refuse?
I have always believed that human history would follow a progressive course, that lead us toward better conditions, that modernity meant to be all better. So was the rest during the twentieth century. It seems however that today history has reversed the gear and is moving back towards the working conditions of exploitation, denial of rights, insecurity, of child safety, moral blackmail. It would have us believe that is inevitable. Why the Chinese are more productive and cost much less and so also the Romanians, Poles and who knows how many other workers in the world. And then they ask us to review our employment contracts, making them more flexible, adapt to the conditions imposed by the new model of economic development. Or close. This is the solution of Marchionne. Sacconi. Bonanno. And many other economists and politicians who have never worked on the assembly line. Bravo! That's why you gain so much. To find ingenious solutions like this. Who brutally imposed on the skin of others. Italian workers.
The violence there is in the cry of Bonanni who wants a hundred thousand, Pomigliano!
The sacrifice is permissible, in law, security, freedom of association, in the name of the job?
Here the agreement that Pomigliano Bonanni longs as miraculous
-
8-hour shifts with a lunch break at the end of the round half an hour. ( chain working for 7 hours and a half consecutive !)
-
small breaks: three 10-minute (or pee or coffee, because there is no time for both);
-
mandatory overtime of 120 hours per year, extendable for production to 200 hours per year (less than 5 weeks per year ! )
-
training compulsory unpaid and transfers to the employee. More training although expensive for the employee will not lead to an increase in salary;
-
production is spread over six days a week, working until Saturday night.
-
possibility to dismiss an employee if the company does not comply with the Covenant.
of Fiat's commitment to invest millions in the production of the Panda, the contract does not say anything. Maybe just the word? It says instead that the company will resort to layoffs for two years during renovation of the plant.
Bravo Bonanni be proud of you!
And in the meantime the Ducati, to increase productivity, is preparing to remove the workers are traditionally granted 5 minutes to wash their hands (and not merely challenging task because of the oils used). 5 minutes!
However I'm not there! I'm convinced that rather than import us production models based on the exploitation it is necessary to export our way of giving dignity to work and security for workers. Our rights are at risk if you do not become the rights of all workers throughout the world.
How far there is to it!
I'm with FIOM and tomorrow I'll be square!
