the agreement reached last night at the Prefecture in Modena on the case Castelfrigo and employees discriminated cooperatives that have contracted processing meat is a first positive sign “but hope will be only a starting point to find a proper organization of work within the district of the meat and the whole food system “, is the comment of Confindustria Modena, shared by unions for decades denounced the situation of exploitation and serious irregularities in the meat sector, as well as in the tomato slices in large agribusiness in the country.
the agreement signed last night – lasted three hours after a summit between the company of Castelnuovo Rangone specialized in processing fresh pork, trade unions and institutions, and after nine days of strikes and violence that have involved hundreds of demonstrators in the Modenese – foresees a gradual equalization of contract, no later than 1 July 2017, with the application to external partners-workers of the contract of food cooperation in place of that of facchinaggio and logistics hitherto used also for those who butchered meat, with a progressive economic alignment.
The company Castelfrigo – ended in the eye after the Ballaro episode two weeks ago which alleged illegal hiring conditions in the procurement system, and also triggered unlimited strikes in Emilia pig district – has become the goat atoning for “an organizational model in which the client company, usually historical and family as the same Castelfrigo deconstructs the production cycle in order to remain competitive – comments Flai CGIL Secretary of Modena, Marco Bottura – procuring the coop in processing labor, which taking mostly foreigners. ” Principal and co-operatives are well aware of the contractual conditions and irregular work and learn, at the limit of legality, but they are both strangled by a subsidiary of the value chain now only the big distribution.
All accomplices of a system that It allows the Modena area of the meat – almost 250 companies that employ more than 5 thousand people, of which 1,300 contracted, according to the CGIL, with a turnover of 3.3 billion euro – to remain competitive and flexible in spite of profit margins much downs. The Castelfrigo, for example, works with 100 internal employees and an accordion of other 90-150 units thanks to the members of the two coop-workers and subcontractors Ilia Workservice, employing mostly Ghanaians (60%), Albanians (25%) and Chinese (10%). “I’m not by denouncing the salary differences – says the union – because often in payroll workers employees of the client and the coop workers reach the same figures, from 1500 to 1600 Euros net, but the working conditions which forced the latter. Long says that the presidents and the foremen of the two coop involved in the dispute are Albanian and you are not even presented to the prefect’s table. ”
“We need to get to a single national legislation for the sector – the President of the Province of Modena, Giancarlo Muzzarelli – to labor protection and to give equal conditions to the contracting companies and contractors. In this sense, the Emilia-Romagna Region is doing an important job in their own view of a specific law on the subject. But the problem is not only in Modena, the virtuous process should be extended to the entire country because otherwise it is just an objective incentive to the relocation, and this would put at risk the survival of our supply chain to the benefit of competition ‘.
The use of cooperatives that provide personnel to companies for activities performed in the company is a practice that is creating tensions in relations between workers, putting at risk the sustainability of the sector, with social problems and not just union. Problems that will riaffrontati Monday, February 29th at the table convened by the Province Muzzarelli.
