Collective Catering, national strike of workers of companies adhering to ANIR and ANGEM on June 4th. State of agitation proclaimed with the blocking of all flexibility
The basis of the national mobilization called by Filcams Cgil Fisascat Cisl and Uiltucs is the warning from the two business associations to undertake any decision concerning the sector at the ongoing negotiation table for the renewal of the National Contract
Rome, May 27, 2024 – June 4 will be a day of national strike for workers employed by collective catering companies belonging to ANIR Confindustria and ANGEM. The protest, called by the trade unions Filcams Cgil, Fisascat Cisl and Uiltucs, is based on the communication received from the two employers' associations in which they warned the parties to refrain from adopting any decision concerning the collective catering sector. In the letter, the employers' associations also requested the establishment of a specific negotiating table.
The unions, which stigmatize "the instrumental and mystifying contents of the communication by Angem and Anir, aimed primarily at influencing the renewal of the Ccnl" for Public Establishments, Collective Catering, Commercial and Tourism, which expired in 2021 and applied overall to over 1 million employees, have therefore decided to start the mobilization, "to counter the position taken" by the two employers' associations on behalf of the member companies. "In an economic context still strongly compromised by the inflationary surge of recent years and the consequent increase in the cost of living - is the harsh attack of the unions - some companies are proving to be irresponsible and inconsiderate towards their employees".
“More than three years after the expiration of the Ccnl – reads a joint union statement – the Collective Catering companies associated with Anir and Angem threaten anyone who wants to reach a renewal capable of guaranteeing decent wage conditions for workers in the sector”.
“The process that has been underway for some time on issues relating to the regulatory sphere, staff classification and salary increases – the note continues – risks suffering further delays due to an irresponsible stance taken by some of the companies in the sector: Authentica Spa – Eurotourist New Spa- Dussmann Service Srl – Ladisa Srl – Serenissima Spa – Euroristorazione – Siristora Global Service – Vivenda Spa – Compass Group Italia Spa – Gruppo Elior – Genesi Srl – Pedevilla Spa – Sodexo Italia Spa – Italcatering Srl – Felsinea Ristorazione Srl – Ser Car Ristorazione Collettiva Spa – Sir Sistemi italiani di ristorazione”.
“Filcams, Fisascat and Uiltucs – the press release concludes – declare a state of agitation and a block on any form of flexibility. Paid union meetings will be called immediately at the workplace to update workers on the union actions that will be undertaken, starting with reporting to all public and private clients, in order to protect the rights of workers in the sector.
The behavior of the companies adhering to Anir and Angem cannot be tolerated! It is yet another humiliation that they want to inflict on workers!”
