One of the many manifestations of workers Phonemedia Trino Vercellese
Some repatriates million euro to the tax evaded for years and who does not see the
salary for months. The first is unknown, protected by the amnesty;
the latter, however, are poorly understood. At Phonemedia, for example,
seven thousand are in a long list of names and surnames of workers from twelve cities
not only witness the slow death of the Italian
their company, the same that until a few months ago we called on its website
leader in Italy telemarketing services and business process outsourcing
.
a story of CRISIS AND SUSPECTED
Here salaries are made in two tranches in the last half salary,
to September, the operators have received Phonemedia
in early December. Meanwhile, the giant
contact center has become a ghost, in the sense that there is a state of emergency declared, was not required
layoffs, no proceedings have been initiated for
mobility, yet the work is stopped, almost all locations scattered throughout Italy
are closed, the illustrious guest is gone, and top management has not
news, as if not I have perspective and especially
wage arrears.
"A Triune Vercellese we started the strike in November - says Roberto
Cross, MSW CGIL - and since we are in a permanent assembly on December 2 and we have set up a garrison
symbol on the outskirts of the village where we live now turn to
50 days waiting for news that does not come. " The garrison
is a tent made available by the Civil Defence, a kitchen by
field offered by the pro-site, a chemical bath.
without salaries and almost always borne by families, every day you have to invent something for
finance the mobilization: "We have two funds - says the Cross - means the fund
green tent is supplied with what we earn by
markets and collections between parties and associations in the other there are
support we get from the institutions. We buy food, pay for the petrol
colleagues who come from outside. "
The collective struggle is one thing, the situations are more personal: "Who
worked full time, 40 hours a week, took just over a thousand euro monthly
, who part time was not reached at 600 €. Since January 2009,
among other things, the company had begun to pay the salary in two installments for
that you do not seem to be even a paycheck. Given these circumstances and with three months
late payment went into the third week of the month, if all goes well, and
just nothing to blow up the accounts. Every time someone starts to cry.
In more difficult cases, when the worker is the only source of income in
family or even a spouse is laid off, with the assistance of the City
, ask the companies that provide basic services to grant extensions
the bills due. "
worse is those who have mortgages or need to borrow: "In the bank -
tells the union representative - they ask you: have you fired?
And you say no.'re in layoffs? And still no answer.
Then you ask the latest payroll and you have to explain she did not see for months. "
Aid workers Trino Vercelli, Novara and colleagues as
Biella, they hope to have the law set up a regional fund to support
1200 Piedmont workers who have a late payment
at least three months. Applications can be submitted by next Monday
, but in this condition there are only people of
Phonemedia. Another fund has been earmarked by the Province Vercelli,
while the Food Bank has provided 120 bags with food.
Prospects after 50 days in a tent? "Zero - Roberto says laconically
Cross -. Even rumors circulating that say the customer is lost.
We requested a meeting with the secretary and read later this month will present the application for insolvency
the court to ask for Novara
Commissioner 'company. "
What Phonemedia while workers would immediately
to support their struggle, is a media spotlight, especially television, national
. Unfortunately, however, have a stack on which to climb to threaten
extreme gestures: "Unlike the case-Agile Eutelia -
complains Cross - our situation is ignored by national TV, although you have made
demonstrations outside the headquarters Rai and Mediaset.
seems that seven thousand families on the street does not make headlines, but this is
a social bomb ready to explode. "
