The first meetings on the renewal of the company's supplementary agreement are taking place in Bologna, analyzing the requests put forward by the trade unions and the company's counterproposals.
In general, the company's attitude is proving to be one of general denial, both with regards to requests regarding the Bologna area and the ever-penalised Ferrara basin. Specifically,
corporate responses were:
– PART-TIME: In Ferrara, as a result of the incentivized exodus of staff wanted by Tper, there is no There are more numbers to activate part-time work for people who have been requesting it for years. The reference is to part-time work.

even where it is currently in use. Our observations regarding the fact that several drivers with personal problems who are currently forced to ask for leave of absence could turn to
towards this type of contract. Indeed, recent news has shown that all requests for leave of absence submitted for the summer of 2016 have been rejected.
– COMPANY LEAVE: In response to the request for the allocation of company leave as provided for by art. 18 AA of 03/08/1997, the Company responded that it actually wanted to modify that part of the company regulations and
follow the same method implemented in Ferrara.
– COMMISSIONS ON MEANS, HOURS AND SHIFTS: The only partially positive response was obtained, but it was obtained without the presence of the workshop manager. Those present at the meeting demonstrated their willingness to
accept the request to also have a transport commission and one for timetables and shifts for Ferrara.
– ALLOWANCE FOR POSTPONED REST: Since the part of the supplementary payment relating to Ferrara's wages has already been subject to harmonization and this allowance is not included, it cannot be granted.
This is despite the fact that in our area it is a practice that is used to a much greater extent than in Bologna. However, there is a willingness to operate as in Bologna during periods of
provision, closing the service at 24 hours instead of 48 and paying the compensation of €1: obviously this would be convenient for the company by limiting the freedom of the drivers to manage their personal life with a
certain advance.
– TRANSFER SCORES: According to Tper, this part should already work like in Bologna…
At the end of this examination, the Company reminded the trade unions that in Ferrara the issue of productivity recovery remained open and given that every proposal to overturn the 4+1 and 6+1 shifts in

suburban and integrated commutes, and remove the same number of minutes from the additional time of urban shifts. Furthermore, again for the Ferrara area, shifts with belts running until 11:43 a.m. will be extended to 12 hours.
It is clear that this attitude of closure and the desire to continue to inflict cruelty on the travelling personnel of the Ferrara area which, according to this company, should repay the consequences of years of
Disastrous political choices, which outrage us first and foremost. The discussion will resume on the 7th, and we'll be sure to keep you updated.
On the sidelines, we report on the outcome of the recent meeting on traffic held at the Town Hall, with representatives of Ami present.

We also finally received a positive response to Fit's request to have our traffic wardens on duty on the roads. The councilor expressed interest and asked Tper for information.
